Remember the political ad where some old man accused Mitt
Romney of killing his wife? That was awesome, but I’m not sure it really made
much of an impact. You see, there’s no real proof that Mittens is really
responsible for her death, so most people were probably not convinced of
anything other than the desperation and dishonesty of the ad. No, to really
convince voters that Mitt Romney is a murderer, they need to show Mitt Romney
actually killing people. But with digital technology, that’s easy! Just make an
ad that shows that.
Here’s how this political ad would work: In a scenario like
a condensed version of a Friday the 13th
slasher movie, we see Jason (in his hockey goalie’s mask) attack and brutally
kill victim after victim with a machete, with blood squirting out everywhere.
Then the last victim tries to fight back by tearing off Jason’s mask; and
wouldn’t you know it, but it’s Mitt Romney underneath (!). A ha! So he is
really a murderer after all! (I knew it all along!)
And, just to scare seniors about Paul Ryan wanting to kill
old people, they could have the same ad, but where the victims are all senior
citizens, and it’s Paul Ryan under the hockey mask (!!). Outed at last for the
vicious killer he is! (I knew it, too!)
Who knows? Maybe someone has already made an ad like this,
and it’s running all over the country except here. (California is a solidly
Democratic state, so we don’t get all the fun smear ads that the swinging swing
states get.)
