“The Campaign”/Tide Laundry Detergent Tie-In (Proposed)

There’s a new comedy movie coming out called The Campaign, which is about all the silly mud-slinging competition in a political campaign. It’s about the perfect time to be making fun of it, with perhaps the silliest presidential election campaign of all time going on around us at this very moment. And with all this mudslinging going on, it made me think of something: a tie-in for a laundry detergent!

So how about this? The candidates from this movie, Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis could both walk into a house together, and say: “Politics is a dirty business!” And then they take their shirts off (Will Ferrell seems to love to take his shirt off, so here’s another chance for him) and drop them into a sink full of water, and the water instantly turns dark gray/brown. And then they say that’s why they use Tide: It gets all that deep, ground-in dirt from political mud-slinging out in one wash, so they can get back out the next day and at least their clothes will be squeaky clean, even if they’re not!
