Los Angeles, CA (WFN) -- There's a new presidential candidate who is more animated than George W. Bush or John Kerry -- but he's nobody's puppet.

His name is Harry Bottoms and he's a spoof candidate created by former "Celebrity Deathmatch" animator Roy T. Wood, who is using the claymation character in an upcoming film, "Disaster," being released next summer.

Bottoms is making his debut this week with a campaign ad airing at www.voteharrybottoms.com and Wood is confident the claymation candidate will split swing voters because he's "a liberal right wing centrist."

For example, Bottoms is against gay marriage but he supports gay divorce and Wood says his war record shows he's been involved in "nearly every major conflict involving the U.S."

Wood admits Bottoms is supposed to spoof presidential candidates like Bush and Kerry but admits he had trouble molding the clay candidate's platform because, as he puts it, "with the way this election is going, we were afraid it wouldn't be outrageous enough."
