This seriously must be a joke. Isn't it? From their website:

"Murray Hill Inc., a diversifying corporation in the Washington, D.C. area, has long held an interest in politics and sees corporate candidacy as an emerging new market.

The campaign’s designated human, Eric Hensal, will help the corporation conform to antiquated “human only” procedures and sign the necessary voter registration and candidacy paperwork. Hensal is excited by this new opportunity. “We want to get in on the ground floor of the democracy market before the whole store is bought by China.”"

This seems like mockery to me.




The campaign video makes it pretty clear that this is satire; I find it a bit disturbing that people seem to be taking it seriously.

... on the other hand, if it isn't satire, I am extremely scared.
