WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- It would appear the improbable candidacy of "Butt Stuff" doesn't have the right stuff, according to the Federal Elections Commission.

The commission, which oversees candidate filings for federal elections, is cracking down on obvious prank filings.


Tough nuts, "Deez Nutz."

"The Commission has authorized staff to send verification letters to filers listing fictional characters, obscene language, sexual references, celebrities (where there is no indication that the named celebrity submitted the filing), animals, or similarly implausible entries as the name or contact information of the candidate or committee," the FEC said in a press release.

Politico reports that in addition to Butt Stuff and Deez Nuts, the FEC has received filings on behalf of a cat, "Limberbutt McCubbins" and "Master Alexander Soy Sauce and Taters Gordh First."

Individuals caught making fraudulent election filings are subject to a fine under FEC rules.
