Glenn Beck is either a performance artist or he is legitimately crazy. I’m inclined to believe that he is similar in composure to a snake-oil salesman, selling you crazy you don’t need or want at expense of the common good. Enter the survival seeds.
One thing that makes Glenn Beck’s crazy 10x as hilarious is finding out what sponsors still advertise with him. These have included cash for gold ploys and plugging Muse’s album because he thinks it speaks to the political bombast and stakes of our time. Now he’s essentially advertising seeds for survivalist gardens in case The Man decides to come for you. Survivalist gardens. At what point do you go past the other end of the crazy spectrum so you’re so far to the right that you come out a hippy? They’re not even called survivalist gardens. They’re crisis gardens that you load up with survival seeds.
That’ll save you from the impending nuclear holocaust. A nice patch of healthy green that you cultivate outside. It’s like Beck knows exactly who his audience is, and selling them their very own nuclear holocaust play-set.
It’s not creepy, it’s not hilarious, it’s an awesome swirl of the two. Enjoy the ad. And the nutrient dense food. Before they come for you.

The seeds are not for an impending nuclear holocaust, just a financial holocaust. People like you that believe government should carry the water for you and there should be no consequences for your actions or inactions, like work hard, will not know how to grow your own food when there is none in the grocery stores or on the farms now all owned by the government. Good luck on getting that food when all is said and done. O is doing the same with seeds and creating their own little shelters underground now with our taxpayer $$. Fool!

OMG, I've seen the future, and the future looks a lot like idiocracy. Time to get out the gatorade and hydrate the survival seeds.

Hey PJ, good point on the advertisement being about finacial meltdown and not a nuclear holocaust. Then you lose all crediblity by saying that he won't know how to grow food when the man comes for him. "The Man" isn't coming. That is all unsubstatiated rhetoric by the far right. As with most conspiracy theories, heavy on motive and weak on evidence.
