Impaler

Ok, I sorted the listings on Netflix by actor tonight because I wanted to watch more Tina Fey in the wake of watching the first four seasons of 30 Rock. One of her Netflix credits was something called Impaler.

I had to check this out.

Here's the blurb:

Never before has there been a gubernatorial candidate quite like Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey, a self-proclaimed Satanic priest, Hecate witch and vampire. This documentary follows Sharkey's well-publicized bid to become Minnesota's governor in 2006. In addition to promoting the interests of farmers and veterans, this third-party candidate also advocated more controversial ideas such as the impaling of lawbreakers.

I love pseudo-documentaries- there're usually pretty funny. So Satanic Vampire running for governor in Minnesota- should be funny, right?

... and then I see why Tina Fey is in it- footage from SNL's Weekend Update.

Oh.

It's real.

Yeah...

It's mildly entertaing until I made that realization. THEN it became hilarious.

It's like a Goth Springer episode.

The only thing that could have made this cooler would have been beer.
