Fridley Lake is Setting for ‘Worst Ad of 2013’

Minneapolis mayoral candidate Jeff Wagner used Moore Lake as the setting for a bizarre ad that includes swim trunks, strip clubs and F-bombs.

The Washington Post’s The Fix has named a Minneapolis mayoral ad shot in Fridley as the worst ad of 2013.

Fridley's Moore Lake is the setting for Jeff Wagner's bizarre pitch. In the ad, a shirtless, swim trunk-wearing Wagner promises not to go to strip clubs and tells voters to “Wake the ---- up.”

Wagner got just 456 votes in this year’s election.
