What democratic nation is home to the silliest political discourse in its elections?

This article on President Obama campaigning with Big Bird at his every campaign stop now brought this question to mind. And in the spirit of coequal contempt for Republicans, here is Rick Santorum explaining how he has voted many times to kill Big Bird, and how you can kill things and still like them.
Do you think Vladimir Putin’s bare chested bow hunting in Siberia or Italian prime ministers competing for votes by how many teeny-bopper boinking notches they have on their belts tops American silliness. Can you share any examples of silly election antics, whether from the USA or from the elsewhere?
With a month of angry attack ads and political putrescence to go, doesn’t this seem like a good time to Chill Out for a bit?

Silly ET. The colonies are not a democracy. Just ask any conservative. They will tell you that the colonies are a “republic, not a democracy”.
I can’t remember her name or where she’s from, but this porn star-turned-politician suggested she could pleasure Saddam Huessin (sp?) and Bush as a diplomatic solution to their quarreling. She was the woman that conducted a speech with one breast exposed.
Yes, my goose “Marwyn” is running for local office, a fowl candidate for oppressed poultry everywhere. He proposes free bread and swimming pools for all, secure barns and predator proof fencing. He bears an uncanny resemblance to Ross Perot. He also gets political propa-gander in the mail all the time. lol
Vote for Marwyn! It’s about time an entirely new species runs for office. ;-)
My favorite politician is Ilona Staller , who was a porn star.
When she ran for the Italian Parliament, she campaigned in the most unusual way. She did her stage show, including striptease, then urinated on the front row of the audience, followed by offering a prayer to all the hungry children of the world.
This is a politician Andy Kaufman could love.
Yeah the Brits. It could just be the dialect though.They still wear those funky wigs? Or the Japanese are they the one’s with the fisticuffs?
@ragingloli And if I didn’t already know that, all I would need to do is turn on the TV.
@Blackberry See @filmfann‘s link.
@Coloma I’m up for a bit of inter-species governance. Merwyn is not quite Big Bird, but word is BB doesn’t want to quit the day job.
@filmfann I have to admit that tops anything I’ve seen in American politics.
@Pied_Pfeffer We have that here too, but we call ours the Republican Party. :-)
@woodcutter You saw this fight, didn’t you?
