And now a message from your [political party] representative



Yes people, it's a commercial. Time for a question. Did you even get to the end of the movie before you got bored? It was CRAP! What a terrible commercial. Watching them on TV, I start to realize why the government of Alberta has to come up with junk like this:



And so, dear readers of mine, I have come up with a solution:

A funny election commercial!!!

Oh my, the amazement!!!

Let us go through the visualization process:

So [Politician 1] is riding down the street when suddenly he is at an intersection, and in the lane beside him is [Opposing Politician 2].
CONFLICT!!!
[Politician 1]: Hey you! I think your ideas about [political argument] suck!
[Politician 2]: Oh yeah?
Both get out of cars
[Politician 1]: I believe we should [suggestion 1] *punch*, [suggestion 2] *punch*, and [suggestion 3] *big punch*
Politician 2 pulls out gun
[Politician 1]: And [group] violence!! How can you support that?
Politician 1 takes off tie quickly
[Politician 1]: And your [environmental policy regarding air]! Just as easy to breathe as this?
Wraps tie around neck
[Politician 1]: People should vote for me because I have a plan for [governing area], and I know that I will make a difference. Any last words [Last name of Politician 2]?
[Politician 2]: *Barely can talk* But the [Political bill] should be passed!
[Politician 1]: And that's why we won't vote for you.
Quick fade to black, "Hide and Seek" plays, [Political party] logo shows.
Screen shows "No intelligent politicians were harmed in the making of this commercial.
End

And that, dear readers, is a commercial that would be so funny, so controversial that every single person in the country (or province) would see it, it would be talked about endlessly, millions of views on YouTube, and very likely a large turnout of people who only vote because the commercial was funny.

Now for the reasoning:
The superbowl ads are funny. Honestly. They have to be good, because millions of people watch them. And if it's good and funny, you'll think about it afterwards. For example, the Pepsi commercial:



As some very intelligent person posted on the comments a few weeks ago, people will want to buy the Pepsi Max because they can then do the head bob and be funny. It's one of those things you'll remember when you're in front of the many choices of pop. Now apply that to an election. A really good, funny commercial gets your attention. You can't stop laughing about it. You think that, hey, that guy really is a cool guy. Then you look down at your ballot, and see their name, and what do you do? Put an 'X' beside [Politician 1]'s name. Simple as that!
