Lest anyone think that this election season couldn't get any weirder, enter the latest character to make his way into the Meg Whitman-Jerry Brown race for California governor.
Last night Whitman's spokeswoman, Sarah Pompei, used Twitter to attempt to disparage Brown.
"SD Cnty Sheriff Assoc says @Whitman2010 4 gov! RT: @Murphy4MegNews: CA Cops get it: Jerry Brown is too soft on crime," Pompei tweeted and included a link, PolitiCal reported last night.
Small problem: She left out a letter in the link, and when the hyperlink-shortener company bit.ly got hold of the incorrect URL, the Twitter followers of Pompei were sent to a cross-dressing bass-wielding Korean phenom who goes by the moniker H.J. Freaks, who apparently is a YouTube star.
Freaks, whose given name is Hyunmo Kim, earned millions of visits on YouTube with his pretty cosplay outfits and talented bass lines. He appears to jam to his favorite tunes while wearing women's clothing in a form of ax-wielding karaoke. Kim says on his MySpace page that he "hopes to be the world's greatest stupid idiot bass player."
