I know - it's strictly political - but I don't mean this in a political way...

For the next 36 hours, Americans will be barraged by political ads...

Lets try to have a bit of fun - without getting political...

What is the worst, best, craziest ads you have seen...let's be ambiguous...but funny...sarcastic...

They are only going to get muddier from now on...if you wrote a political ad...what would you do?



Have fun - poke fun - but be careful :rolleyes:

I am not trying to incite - I want to inspire political satire

(Mods - what do you think? - Can it be done?)

      Gee Thom, you're not being very encouraging...:rolleyes:

      I would expect more sarcasm from you. :p

      (maybe this wasn't such a great idea?)

        I am looking forward to the election process to be over, not so much to see who wins the election, not to see what props pass, which judges remain on the bench or to proudly display my "I voted" sticker.

        I just want to not cringe when the phone rings again! We have been experiencing on average 10 political robo calls a day, grrr!

    We have Mitt and Obama on every TV channel, in every newspaper (both paper and online), etc. Here too.

    And I'm getting sick too. But it's not political ads, it's news because they don't have anything else to cover because there is nothing that's happening her!

    Please someone.. Rob a bank, bomb a abandoned building or something!

      I think it's time to change the process. The campaigns used to be visible for about 6-8 months - now they seem to start in earnest two years into a new term. That's ridiculous.

      The nomination process of the states needs to take place over 60 days - not month after month - and then the remaining four months needs to be the real campaign. If they had less time to talk, they'd spend less and say more of substance.

      The commercial I found interesting is the one in Chinese.

      As for the little girl - Mom needs to be turning off the TV at home.

      Hmmm, yep, the news in AU today ran the election in the US for about 15 minutes!!!

      On and on it went, even going into elected members in each state needing 255 votes to cast a legitimate vote, etc.

      Groan, when l heard that l thought, this is AUSTRALIA, not the US, who gives a %4#?!


      As someone else said on this thread, nothing else is happening so they are ramming this, unprecedented crap down our throats!!! :rolleyes:

      I mean, even 15 minutes of indigenous affairs, would be more interesting than this, (l tried to watch indig... on tv, and found that even the camera crew where missing their mark and glazing over or nodding off).


      As for the Melbourne Cup, one horse won, and another two got second and third place!!!:p

      No Kangaroo's were hurt during the race, apart from one or two Koalas at the end!!!! :rolleyes:

      This video pretty much wraps up what l think of the US election!


      A total waste of time, but l have to admit the tune is catchy, and it does have kangaroo,s here and there, although it may send a mixed message about weight loss!!! :rolleyes:

      Enjoy it if you can sit through the whole video? :p
