VOTE FOR.......NOBODY FOR 2010!

VOTE FOR NOBODY.....

The campaign advertisement is for Nobody, literally, Nobody.  This is a spoof since a campaign ad is always directed towards a specific person running for an office of some sort. The ad consists of the head of a cartoon pig that is floating in mid-air and delivering a message.  The background is just white at the beginning with just the name “Nobody” and “The Dismembered Party” on the screen.  Then an image of the American flag with the word ‘nobody’ in front of it fades into the frame.  ) “Nobody” talks about how Washington would be so much better if “Nobody” was elected into office.  “Nobody” claims he is a genius and can solve all of Washington’s problems.   He says he is neither a “do-nothing lackey with a hillbilly wackadoo or an obstructionist nay-sayer with an inexperienced ideolog” and believes we need to throw them all out.  He is running for every available office in Congress and wants the viewers to imagine how accountable the president and a handful of senators would be if there was no place for them to hide and “Nobody” was to blame.

This ad appeals to neither republicans nor democrats.  The ad aims toward the        people in between or against politics in general.  Having “Nobody” run for office gives these people the curiosity of what it would be like if nobody ran.  The people with that mindset would enjoy this because chances are, they don’t vote anyway and don’t care about real political campaigns, so watching this spoof would almost give them a sense of false hope that maybe “Nobody” would run for office. This advertisement is effective in the sense of sarcasm and humor.  Also, in making a stand in politics without actually standing for anything.  The ineffectiveness comes in the fact that “Nobody” stands for nothing; he has no viewpoint on issues.  This ad is just a joke because everybody knows that people look for politicians that stand for certain issues and can represent something.  Therefore, it would be impossible to have “Nobody” in office.

So when the next elections come up and you dont know who to vote for?....VOTE FOR NOBODY and all our problems will be solved.

VOTE FOR NOBODY
