Don’t Eat That Burger
You know what I like about local elections? The negative ads. They kind of bother me when it comes to nationwide elections, because generally I have an idea of who/what I will vote for and negative shit about the things I support is just irritating. But when it comes to the local stuff, whoo boy, I could really care less.
I love ads that get all personal, like, don’t for Nancy because she is fat! And then there is an awesome response like, we all trust piggies with our money. Vote Nancy for Treasurer!
Well, election time is over, and all the negative ads are gone. I don’t even have cable, but still I am kind of sad. Bring back the sassy and insulting commercials, I say. I think they could work pretty well in place of traditional ads.
Consider fast food chains, for example. I’m bored with seeing McDonalds use racial stereotypes and pretend to be “ghetto” to promote their disgusting burgers. Now, imagine if McDonalds instead ran an ad that went like: “Last year someone found a finger in her Wendy’s burger. Does that sound like something you would like to eat? Come to McDonalds, where none of our cooks even have fingers.” I would totally watch that commercial.
Then we get the bonus awesomeness of reponse ads. Imagine if Wendys responded with “Don’t let diarrhea keep you up all night. [cut to photo of a sad Ronald McDonald] Eat at Wendys.”
Yes sir, I would really dig that.

maybe people should watch the cow being cut open while she’s still alive, they would get the picture. Maybe if they knew that cow shit is thrown in with the ground up cow, they might get a little disgusted and become vegetarians.

Well, mate, he’s done more than you ever have you bloomin nationalist xenophobe. Sorry ’bout that, but it is actually quite comical.
