Herman Cain releases new commercial - KPLC 7 News, Lake Charles, Louisiana

(RNN) – Herman Cain released a third "Sick of Stimulus" commercial Friday, and it's as bizarre as the first two.

In the commercial, a farmer is feeding his chickens and is attacked by the birds in a scene that could be straight out of Hitchcock. He is then pecked to death.

"This is the average American taxpayer feeding big government," says the same little girl says who appeared in the previous two spots.

Presumably, the metaphor is to liken "Big Government" to the chickens, with the government's need for taxes as voracious as the chickens' appetites.

The young girl closes out the commercial by asking, "Any questions?" A gruesome and comical depiction of the farmer's corpse raises his bony hand.

The first Sick of Stimulus spot was released in February and showed the same little girl throwing a goldfish on the ground.

"This is the economy," the young girl says. As the fish flops around on the ground, the girl then throws water on the fish and says, "This is the economy on stimulus." The commercial also ends with the girl asking, "Any questions?" Cain stated the goldfish was not harmed.

In the second commercial features, the girl places the bunny into a straw bed and says, "This is small business under the current tax code." The rabbit bed then hurls the bunny (now replaced by a fake bunny) into the air. Similar to skeet shooting, the fake bunny is then shot by an actor dressed in a suit.

This spot also ends with the girl asking, "Any questions."

YouTube removed the second commercial temporarily after it was flagged as inappropriate. Cain took to Twitter and his Facebook page to protest the removal: "This is free speech. This is free speech under YouTube. I have some questions!"

The video was reinstated shortly thereafter.

All three commercials close with a shot of Cain standing on a bluff, staring out over an animated barren rocky landscape, head turned away from the camera.

These are not the first unusual commercials Cain has released. Campaign manager Mark Block ended a spot by puffing on a cigarette and blowing smoke toward the camera in a now much-parodied commercial.

The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, who withdrew from the presidential campaign after allegations of infidelity, is also organizing an event called "Cain's Revolution on the Hill" in Washington on April 16 to protest the tax code.

Cain has endorsed fellow Georgian Newt Gingrich for president.
