What Campaign Ads Would Look Like If the Voting Age Was 6
At some point in the next 38 days, you're going to watch a campaign ad and ask yourself if these things could get any more stupid and immature. We decided to find out.
Totally worth it. And rather balanced between candidates. And even some funny used-to-be candidates, like the Hillary Clinton one. MY favorite is #9, and I'm sure you can figure out why.
And my second Cracked link is the best of all possible worlds: informative AND funny as hell:

6 Brainwashing Techniques They're Using On You Right Now
Brainwashing doesn't take any sci-fi gadgetry or Manchurian Candidate hypnotism bullshit. There are all sorts of tried-and-true techniques that anyone can use to bypass the thinking part of your brain and flip a switch deep inside that says "OBEY."
Now I know what you're thinking. "Sure, just make an ad with some big ol' titties on there! That'll convince people!"
Not that I'd ever stoop to ANY of those techniques. You know, like those OTHER blogs. I won't do it. I won't do it. I won't do it.
Seriously, though, visit that link - the best defense is knowledge. And laughter. |
