TP. 188. POLITICAL PERSUASION

During any reelection period, all the candidates fire up very expensive election campaigns and hire top advertising firms. These outfits coordinate these broken record statements to be delivered to the stupidity saturated eardrums of the poor voters. Every election is an identical clone of the last one, the one before that, and the one the Greeks used in the 5th century BCE. Same bullshit, different era. The standard cookie cutter crud that is still employed today are phrases such as: lowering taxes, ending the war, stopping crime, hiring more police, yea or nay to vacuuming up unwanted babies, and a TV in every room. It’s the same old, out of tune karaoke spewed into a room full of disappointed listeners. With all the money dispensed, you would think some creative cretin would throw in some new rhetoric just to amp up the status quo. Phrases such as: “when I get some insider information on a hot stock, I will instantly text you.” Or…”vote for me and I’ll get you half off at the Wholesale Whore House.” Handing out $20 and $50 bills at voting booths will amaze the public at the blatant honesty that the candidate utilizes. Instead of kissing babies, perhaps grabbing someone’s teenage girl by the head and pushing it down to their groin would show the voters their true stance on women’s rights and if the male candidates grabbed the heads of the voter’s sons, they would understand their honest views on homosexuality. Instead of the standard 6 pack of broken campaign promises, let’s get creative or at least frank about the candidates true aspirations, and then, the voters can make an intelligent decision in their choice of leaders as they grab their free 65″, high resolution, 3D TV as they make their way home from the polls.

A TV in every doomed womb.
