Vote Ian Kobe Mine Inspector

“Why can’t I play in the abandoned copper mine, Mommy?” BECAUSE JOE HART DIDN’T CLEAR OUT THE VAMPIRE DENS. VOTE IAN KOBE MINE INSPECTOR WRITE-IN CANDIDATE Fun fact: Arizona is the only place in the country where the state mine inspector is an elected position Another fun fact: this is one of my favorite political ads of all time, straight out of 2014 I forgot vampire bats were a thing and thought they were referring to the folklore kind of vampire The subtle advocation for kids to be playing in the abandoned copper mines is also not great

A child’s face appears beside a satirical political advertisement urging voters to write in Ian Kobe for mine inspector. The ad claims Joe Hart failed to clear vampire dens from an abandoned copper mine, mixing a real-sounding campaign message with absurd danger and an apparent endorsement of children playing in abandoned mines. It is shared as a reaction to bizarre political advertising and darkly absurd public-safety messaging.
