The (15-Year-Old) Man Behind Presidential Candidate Deez Nuts Speaks Out
Deez Nuts, arguable the biggest name in the 2016 presidential race so far, was tracked down by The Daily Beast for an interview.
As recently as last week, polls showed that about 9 percent of voters in North Carolina said they'd vote for the mysterious third party candidate Deez Nuts. Sadly, it was all for nothing.
Deez Nuts, the great and shining hope for this nation in the 2016 presidential election, is not in fact a real person.
The Daily Beast somehow tracked down the 15-year-old boy hero who created Deez Nuts and inspired us all. His name is reportedly Brady Olson, a farmboy from Iowa who registered Deez Nuts as a candidate with the SEC last month.
By tracking down the address next door to the (fake) address that Olson / Deez Nuts filed as a candidate under, they figured out that it was the teen. It turns out that anyone can fill out a Form 2 with the SEC, because until you start getting attention and raising money, nobody checks to see if you're a real person.
That's how you end up with candidates like Sydneys Vuluptuous Buttocks and Limberbutt McCubbins, other "people" who filed a Form 2, but didn't get the attention that Deez Nuts did.
Olson / Deez Nuts is still hoping to become president, though, even though the constitution prohibits a 15-year-old from doing that.
Maybe this kid should be president. At least president of a cable network or something.
