Green Energy Political Ad (Proposed)
We’ve heard politicians say that America is “addicted to oil”. So why not literalize this into a play on the popular reality TV show Addiction to encourage green energy? So this ad would start off with Uncle Sam (America’s mascot, in the stars & stripes suit & top hat) coming to what he thinks is a party, but turns out to be an intervention. So Uncle Sam’s friends tell him it’s an intervention because they’re worried about his addiction to oil, and that this addiction is ruining his life. Then the ad could explain in what ways America’s addiction to oil is bad for us, showing Middle East wars, terrorism, climate change, pollution, etc., and then show Uncle Sam crying and saying he knows he needs help, etc. And the ad would end by listing different types of renewable energy America should be investing in developing.
