Seriously, this guy? Alright, so this is happening, living tourist attraction Naked Cowboy has officially announced he's running for Mayor of New York City.
Earlier, in Times Square (natch), he declared: “Today, I would like to announce that I am entering the race for the office of the Mayor of New York City. Why? Well, right now this city can’t afford wasteful spending. What we really need is smarter spending. Fact is, no one knows how to do more with less than yours truly - and that’s the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers if you elect me. It's exactly the kind of leadership this city needs during these challenging times."
Sounds nice but surely running a major metropolitan city is a bit more complicated. Anyway, blah blah publicity stunt... watch the self-made documentary after the jump, and get to know your newest candidate.

he's a giant tool
do you mean to say he has a giant tool? i always figured that the naked cowboy was straight, or a guy posting as pastaboy is male...
People voted for Obama, they'll vote for this guy too. Experience means nothing anymore.
ha, wait, seriously? Hm, Columbia University/Harvard Law grad with three terms in the state senate, versus a 39-year-old American Idol reject who makes a living wearing tighty-whities and suing people for copyright infringement?
If I'm missing some carefully concealed sarcasm here, forgive my incredulousness in advance.
uhmm - what 3 terms in Senate???(just to keep it simple)
uhmm - Maybe you missed the word "state" before Senate?? (just to keep it simple)
this guy is so 5 minutes ago. And by that, i mean 5 years ago.
I couldn't give a shit.
Next!
New Hick City.
Like most politicians, he's trying to pass himself off as something he is not. "Naked cowboy?" Deception on both counts.
I for one, am grateful for the deceit.
I just want to be the first to point out that his guitar pick logo is a total rip off of both the Bank of America insignia and the Obama "hope" posters.
Vote 4 Mr. Skidmarks.
And make no mistake, "ass" is the operative word here.
Hm. Would he have allowed my city to be a staging platform for George W. Bush's re-election? Remember that convention? The one that caused hundreds of restaurants to lose business, and at least two Broadway shows to close?
Would he have announced that because he's in favor of marriage equality, he's going to appeal the order directing him to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples? (Still trying to figure that one out.)
Will he unilaterally overturn the will of the electorate, just so that he can stay in office a bit longer?
I've got more, but...you know... The Naked Cowboy could not possibly be worse than what we've got right now.
Right on!
If the naked Cowboy is the only alternative to Bloomberg, he gets my vote, As it is, I am voting for Bill Thompson
ewwwwwwww
nasty man butt
I would not be surprised if the "Bloomberg for Mayor" staff paid him money and offered him police protection to do his lame schtick for four year without hinderence. In exchange that take the headlines away from Bill Thompson calling out the the weasel mayor on his false statistics. It's a classsic political move.
And Bloomie, suck my left nut.
Bloomie can suck my right one
oh okay, so god does exist..
When I first saw the headline, I thought it was asking if I was going to vote for Bloomberg.
This whole thing looks like a marketing campaign for the company Constant Link. It's on his guitar and website.
Gross.
I'm a total man-crazy perv, so he'd have my vote if I was a New Yorker. Okay, only if there wasn't a qualified guy running against him. I'm not THAT crazy.
As a self-marketing phenomenon he is brilliant. Madison Avenue would be lucky to come up with anything half as genius as this. All questions of art aside, when has America and her politicians, people, culture, etc. ever been accused of good taste? Obviously, by the number of tourists taking his picture and the amount of money he collects every day he is enormously popular. Since Bloomberg illegally granted himself the power to run for a third term, I certainly am not throwing my vote to him - if Bill Thompson is as much of a do-nothing as he appears, well, then maybe the Naked Cowboy is guy to vote for.
