Mike Myers: McCain Ad Not Worthy

I promise (kinda) that this will be my last post about the McCain “Hot chicks dig Obama” ad, but in the comments section earlier, someone had asked why the original video had disappeared from YouTube. Turns out the McCain camp never got permission to use the ending “We’re not worthy!” clip from Wayne’s World, and Mike Myers (or his lawyers) insisted the video be removed. A new version of the ad, with Wayne and Garth snipped out, is now up instead. “Apparently, we are not, in fact, worthy,” said McCain staffer Michael Goldfarb.

If only they had used a clip from The Love Guru instead; I’m sure Myers would take whatever promo he could get on that one.
