Political Advertisements and Other Mind-Numbing Acts of Nails on the Chalkboard
Election Day can't come soon enough - or be done even sooner.
Republicans, democrats, independents, Dennis Kucinich, sewage treatment plants, school levy, millages .... EXCEDRIN HEADACHE NO. 909 is more like it.
It's not that it isn't important, life-changing, world-altering stuff, folks. But, can't we get back to a world that doesn't revolve around smear tactics, cheese-laden pleas to the common people and endorsements from 4th-party candidates that know as much about the issues as Homer Simpson knows about Bosnia?
Not that the staff at News-Herald DotComedy is political in any way or beats the bushes with any party bias, but these TV and radio ads and pre-recorded phone messages to households around this area have got to find a nice retirement spot in the field soon before sanity in these parts is permanently gone.
Where's Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and the mutants from "Men in Black" when you need a good erasing of the memory?
Nothing is worse than enjoying a nice respite in the comforts of your own home when some hack, third-rate, B-movie, Ed Wood-directed, truth-strained, credibility-deprived, manure-filled buffet fills the HD 45-inch plasma screen on the wall. Or worse yet, some 1-800 number we want to ignore anyway is an automated plea for a vote.
By the way, when you answer the phone, and it sounds like an old recording of R2D2 or C3PO on a four-day cocaine bender babbling on the other end of the line, do you pay much attention? Does that make you want to run out and vote?
The staff realizes the importance of Election Day and the power of the vote as a freedom and a benefit we as Americans should appreciate. But, come on. The ads leading up to the first Tuesday in November are enough to drive us to want to time-share a condo with psychotics in some country who is so anti-USA that they watch the film of the 9/11 attacks as some sadistic pre-Christmas festive event.
Who endorses such and such commercial? Who has been in office for so long that Moses used to be his treasurer? Who cares?
Here's what the staff at DotComedy endorses ....
Anyone who can put a stop to this ridiculous spin-doctoring, and amateur infomercialism has our backing 100 percent. Run for office, stump for the issues, do what you can to make Northeast Ohio and America a better place to live.
Just stay off our TV screens, radio airwaves and most importantly, our phone lines.
Every day life is tough enough. The first Tuesday in November doesn't need to be so painful and stressful.
Got a problem with that?
Take it up with The Men in Black.
