Those %#cking Political Ads...


Um, thanks for that, Mr. Lee.  I've always wanted to know
more about the nipples that were in charge of the 26th District.

This past February, the seat in the 26th Congressional District in Western New York went vacant, when Republican Representative Chris Lee resigned over some topless pictures of himself that he texted to a lady-acquaintance on Craigslist.

Aside from the photo above, which was heavily-circulated throughout all media outlets for about a week, I didn't expect the repercussions of Mr. Lee's actions to affect the quality of my own life in any way whatsoever.

Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken.

There's no question that Mr. Lee owed an apology to his wife and offspring for all of the shame and embarrassment that his actions caused.  Frankly, it's none of our business how all of that went down.


I'm Jack Davis, and I'm going to annoy the $h!t out of you!

But three months later, Mr. Lee also owes an apology to every resident of the 26th Congressional District, as well as the neighboring districts, for making us endure the most annoying, horrific, mind-numbing ninety days of dirty, politically-infused feces-hurling in the history of mankind.

The election to fill the vacant seat was held yesterday, and Democrat Kathy Hochul beat out Republican Jane Corwin, as well as the grizzled 'n frumpy Tea Party candidate Jack Davis.

One of the great aspects of our country's political system is that we're only subject to the campaign ads on television no more than once every two years.

Well, thanks to Mr. Lee, we've had to endure a 'special campaign' for the past three months.


I'm Kathy Hochul, and I'm going
to annoy the $h!t out of you!
It used to be that candidates for the major political parties would tell you what they planned to accomplish if they were voted into office.

Nowadays, the candidates don't tell you a damn thing about what they plan to accomplish.  Instead, they spend millions of dollars to let you know why the other candidate is such a dirty scumbag and why you shouldn't vote that person into office.

This is accomplished by creating commercials which include the following:
  • black and white still images of the opponent in mid-sentence, frowning and baring their teeth
  • men in hard hats with their arms crossed, looking frustrated
  • senior citizens shaking their heads in dismay, as they try to balance their checkbooks
  • children looking malnourished and sad
  • charts that show arrows pointing down
  • a deficit counter with an exponentially-increasing deficit
  • haunting piano music from a made-for-TV Stephen King movie
  • a narrator who speaks in a tone and manner that is so bleak and hopeless that one would assume that his colonoscopy is scheduled for later that day
If these commercials ran once or twice a day, I'd be able to put up with it...  barely.  Unfortunately, they're aired once or twice...  or three times or four times...  every five minutes.

During a typical election season, you'll see about two hundred political ads each day, but the pain and suffering will be spread out over a handful of races and seats, depending on the district.

The problem with this particular election was that there was only one race in question.

For three months, we all saw over two hundred ads each day...

     ...AND THEY WERE ABOUT THE SAME THREE MISERABLE HUMAN BEINGS.


I'm Jane Corwin, and I'm going to annoy the $h!t out of you!

During a typical hour-long television show, the commercials would be broken down into the following schedule:
  • TV Show Intro
  • Commercials:

  • TV Show Ends - Credits Roll
As you can imagine, it can get pretty confusing for an honest, hard-working citizen to know who they should vote for, if all three candidates are such miserable human beings.



I'm Jane Davis, and I'm here to audition for Van Halen.

I'm just happy that the election is over.  During the last several weeks, all three candidates have kind of blended into the same miserable monster.

Kathy Hochul says that Jane Corwin will ruin Medicare while Jack Davis will ship job overseas, who says that Kathy Hochul is Nancy Pelosi's puppet, which is why Jane Corwin is busting on Kathy Hochul, saying that she'll raise taxes, while Jack Davis and Jane Corwin will cut taxes for the rich, while the middle class suffer, because Jane Corwin is all about politics as usual, while Jack Davis will not be bought because he kept jobs for his own company in this country, even though he didn't...

Let's just say that I'm glad that I didn't have to cast a vote in this steaming turd-fest.

Good job, Kathy Hochul.  Hope you're happy.

Now get to work fixing that mess in Washington...


Jack Hochul needs a lighter shade of red, if he/she
really wants to make an impression with the voters.
