Is this the most bizarre attack ad of 2016 yet?

Sen. Ted Cruz's nose grows to a spectacular length in a new TV ad produced by pro-John Kasich super PAC New Day for America. As the 30-second ad plays, accusing the Texas senator of spouting nothing but lies, the Republican presidential candidate's nose continually grows to the point that it ends up coiling around his neck — yes, seriously. "Many just call him Lyin' Ted," the ad says, referencing Donald Trump's newly coined nickname for Cruz. "If Cruz's mouth is moving, he's lying."
Check out the ad's photoshop work below. Becca Stanek
