Chuck Approves Huck?

For your viewing pleasure, FOX News is proud to display Governor Huckabee's ad starring Chuck Norris. As you will see, Huckbee is shown reciting popular Chuck Norris jokes, while Norris advocates Huckabee's candidacy. The clip ends with both men saying that they approve the ad, but the ending implies that not only does Norris approve the ad, but the candidate is "Chuck Norris Approved" as well.
The question of intent comes to mind. It is obvious that Norris is attempting to win young voters over by displaying a sense of humor, and attempting to appear "in touch" with todays youth culture. However, the ad seems like it was filmed as a joke, and I personally am shocked to find out that though humorous in nature, it was meant to be a serious advertisement to appeal to a particular demographic.
How will conservatives view this? Does being "Chuck approved" now make Huckabee a more qualified candidate? Would it not be more effective to have an ad were he focuses on serious issues, or describes his plans for change? It seems that, just as with many of the other campaign ads posted by the majority of the other candidates, this one does in fact appeal to the demographic it is aimed at, but has little political depth or relevance.
FOX would like to hear your opinion on the matter. All who wish to view the ad and send in their responses will be acknowledged, and your opinions published on our site. Please leave your responses in the "comments" section of this post.
If anyone from the Huckabee camp would like to discuss this in further detail, please contact us at fox_news@email.com

Thank you.
