Daily Video: CA Candidate's Aide Links to K-ON! Video

posted on by Gia Manry
Mistaken link to cross-dressing video meant to show gubernatorial endorsement

Sarah Pompei, the press secretary of California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, passed on a Twitter post from senior campaign consultant Mike Murphy that was intended to link to a recent endorsement for the candidate. However, Pompei inadvertantly dropped a letter from the shortened URL — linking instead to a YouTube video featuring a young man playing bass guitar along with the song "Fuwa Fuwa Time" from the anime K-ON!, while dressed in a pink skirt, thigh-highs, and garters.

The YouTube user, H.J.Freaks, has posted numerous videos of himself playing along with various songs from Japanese anime and games such Touhou Project, Macross Frontier, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, all while dressed in various costumes.

Thank you to Starks for the tip.
