Road to the Greenhouse!

If you’ve ever felt like politicians are just a bunch of vegetable puppets, this video will be all the confirmation you need. This idea came into existence a few months ago when a meeting about something else entirely degenerated into a contest to see who could come up with the funniest vegetable-themed name for a presidential candidate. A joint project with our friends at Free Range Studios, Road to the Greenhouse brings Broccoli Obama, Celery Clinton, Dijon McCain, Fruity Giuliani and a whole cast of politicians to life to debate one of the most important issues facing our country today: Is it time we gave peas a chance?
This one has been a major undertaking, but I’m completely in love with the way it turned out. I hope you like it too.

Hilarious! I like Mitt Hominy and John McCantalope better. Dijon is not a food, and ramen doesn't seem very healthy or environmentally friendly.

I don't get the "Spam" Donaldson...are we implying Spam ain't meat? Or simply that Spam isn't funny?

Wow! Kudos to Free Range Studios and PETA—a work of genius. Where can we view the hi-def version?

Weird. I think it's pretty funny, but it's definitely weird.

Vote Ron Paul
Not Clinton, as she will lead us into Socialism

"Peas vote for me!"

You can't beat the irony, either, considering the complete absence of work done to reduce greenhouse gasses.
Nice metaphor.

Mike is right this is pure genius.
My husband and I were invited to a dinner and fund raiser to meet Rep. and Mrs. Kucinich, we had a wonderful time, they had a spread of more Vegan foods than we could eat, our favorite was the tamale wrapped in seaweed, there is no better feeling than being around people such as yourself, you feel at home, and I am not a real people person.
Kucinich would be a great leader and he is 100% on Animal Welfare and both are Vegans, what more could you ask for.
I also had on my PETA button that says "Meat is Murder", it went over very well.
Vote
Kucinich
Strenght through
Peace.
