Sponsored by the Committee Against Sexual Hypocrisy (CASH), this full page ad appeared in the weekly alternative Austin Chronicle, in an apparent attempt to find the dirt on Texas Governor and Presidential candidate Rick Perry - or maybe just to suggest some dirty linen. The organization is really just the work of Robert Morrow, a Texas Republican and Ron Paul supporter. Is it a real group? “No. It’s just me,” said Morrow, who similarly targeted Hillary Clinton in 2008, claiming she covered up a rape committed by her husband. Note the “Note to gay people: If you know the truth about Rick, please QUIT covering for him.”

Also along for the scary-funny ride is Christopher Mintz-Plasse (from Superbad), who has a deliriously drawn-out death scene that is one of the film’s highlights.
