Strong (advertisement)

"Strong" was a political advertisement issued by Texas Governor Rick Perry's presidential campaign in December 2011 for the 2012 Republican Party presidential primaries.

The ad was targeted to American Christian, socially conservative voters.[1] It raised controversy for addressing gays in the military and religion in public schools, largely due to Perry's disapproval of the former.[2] The video went viral, inspiring a number of parodies.[3] During the primaries, it became one of the most disliked videos on YouTube;[4] as of June 2017 it is in twenty-third place by number of dislikes and second place by percentage.
