Paid political ads are coming to Snapchat through the form of filters. And some of the content is getting pretty, well, snappy.

Benny Johnson, creative director for the Independent Journal, tweeted a Snapchat screenshot on Thursday morning saying: OMG. Check out this ?@Snapchat filter inside the ?#BenghaziCommittee hearing room.
