Vote Yes on Issue 47
During Jeopardy! on TV tonight there were 3 commercial breaks where literally 80-90% of all ads were for the election. I can’t deal with this anymore. This included one commercial break with five straight political ads. You people (who do not live in Ohio) have NO IDEA how many ads we are peppered with every single day. I can’t take it anymore. I think I will try to not watch any television that hasn’t been recorded on the digital video recorder. At least that way I can fast forward through this pervasive garbage.
It is too bad that you aren’t allowed to sell your vote on Ebay. I would still like to explore the options for getting paid because frankly, with all the money being spent on political ads, wouldn’t we (meaning “I”) be better off if that money was funneled into a fund and given to the citizens who have to watch all these manipulative ads on television? I would hope it would at least pay for a couple of beers during happy hour or something. Now wouldn’t that be great?
This beer was not approved by Kerry for president and Capri Cafaro but they paid for it. This order of mozzarella sticks is not sponsored by George W. Bush or Steve LaTourette but they paid for it. MMMMM. Beer and Mozzarella sticks.
I wonder what it would take to get this on the ballot as an issue. I can imagine it now.
Vote Yes on Issue 47 if you love beer and mozzarella sticks. Hell, vote yes on issue 47 if you love beer and wings or any other combination of things that you can buy at a bar. Just vote yes. Take back your television and get some free happy hour grub.
Maybe I should go into politics.

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
New Hampshire’s not as important as Ohio, but it’s still getting to be Re-Goddamn-Diculous with the ads. I don’t care if Governor Benson bought an SUV on the state account anymore. I don’t care if John Lynch thinks we should have an income tax. I don’t care if John Kerry is the most liberal motherfucker who ever lived.
So, yeah, I feel your pain.
hey, i live in Ohio. what the hell is issue 47? should i really vote yes? i love beer, but am not a big fan of mozz. sticks. call me flip-flopper
thank god new yorkers made up their collective minds even before the democrats had a candidate…i’m lucky if i see one or two political ads a week…and i watch a ton of primetime tv…but i can feel your pain…i already started seeing newspaper ads for the christmas shopping season…nothing bothers me more…
