My Kids Launch Political Attack Ads On Each Other
Friday, October 8, 2010 at 8:16AM It’s that time of the year. Election time!
I always loath and love election years.
Why? You may ask…
Because I LOVE the attack ads.
The formula is brilliant. Spend 15 seconds knocking your opponent down, pouring gasoline on them, and lighting them on fire in front of the world. Then spend 15 more seconds making yourself look like you not only walk on water, but created water, the land, Earth, and play poker with baby Jesus on the weekends.
I can just imagine the young-buck interns and political public relations strategists who sit around a large bong coming up with these brilliant, mind-numbing attack-ads.
So, with that thinking, I decided I should run a mock election between my kids. My son, the left-wing redheaded advocate of creating government programs (like ICFTAYS – Ice Cream For The American Youth Service) running against my daughter, the right-wing lover of supporting corporate America (primarily American Girl dolls) are vying for the senate seat in my Congress.
So now the stage is set…let the attack ads go!!!
This message is approved by Macy.
Candidate Grayson. He wants you to believe he can hoola hoop for an hour straight. He claims he can spell “because” without cheating. And he even tells adults that he loves broccoli.
Candidate Grayson pees with the seat down and doesn’t wipe-up afterwards. He once told his mother she has a large butt….and then laughed. Candidate Grayson eats his own boogers.
If you want a booger-eater representing you in Congress then Grayson’s your guy.
Candidate Macy once saved a unicorn from a tar pit and 10 minutes later fed Africa. Candidate Macy invented the clock and recently negotiated with the Mayans to fix their calendar so we all won’t die in 2012.
Candidate Macy once made Chuck Norris cry.
This November, vote Candidate Macy for Senate and let that turd-wrestler Grayson go back to the school yard.
“Hi, I’m Macy and I approve this message and I look really cute in pigtails.”
I’m fairly confident that’s an ad my dear daughter would have helped assemble and happily distributed on any media outlet willing to take her money.
Now, on to the boy’s ad.
This message is approved by Grayson
Candidate Macy kicks me in the shin when she doesn’t get what she wants. She can’t read, she can barely write her name, she doesn’t flush after she poops or pees, and she still needs her mommy to help her ride her 2-wheel bike.
I have personally seen Candidate Macy almost kill a grown man over her blankey being washed in the washing machine.
I’ve witnessed her beating a tree with a stick, smashing a tiny ant, and telling her mother she hates her just because she wanted to put her hair in pigtails.
Is that who you want representing you in Congress?
Candidate Grayson mapped out and personally taught the entire system of migration to birds in order to give these flying beasts a better lifestyle.
Candidate Grayson personally hand delivered Saddam Hussein to hell and then turned around and made it rain in the Sahara Desert.
He holds the record for the most “your mamma” jokes told in 24 hours, has the cure for cancer, and holds the patent for the design on ladybugs shells.
It’s pretty clear Candidate Grayson’s the man we all need in Congress.
“Hi, I’m Grayson. I approve this message and I CAN spell ‘because’ without a cheat sheet.”
All right....that's it. You've read both ads. Now tell me....who would you vote for?!
attack ads, candidates, congress, daughter, election, sahara desert, senate, son, your mamma

I wouldn't vote for either simply because you are their father. NICE JOB DADDY! I laughed out loud.
Macy for Congress!
Macy totally gets my vote because I love unicorns!
I am really a left winger, but I have to vote Macy this time. I mean, pigtails!! Enough said. Besides, its ok to kick your big brother in the shins. They are gross.
Macy all the way! She saved a unicorn AND made Chuck Norris cry! That is my girl!
I have to vote for Grayson because Macy is in the lead.
Macy all the way! Not only did she save a freakin unicorn, she saved us all from total destruction in 2012. Besides, kicking Grayson in the shin just shows she's got mad ninja skills.
My vote goes to Grayson. Because he can spell 'Because' !!
“Hi, I’m Macy and I approve this message and I look really cute in pigtails.”
OMG.
Awesome from beginning to end.
As an undecided moderate, I'm waiting to hear the candidates' position on ice cream for dinner.
Umm, I'm voting for Macy because she sounds like she might hurt me if I don't.
OMG that is hilarious. I gotta go with the unicorn saver, but really only cause well I vote gender, just cause. LOL
I will have to vote on party lines and vote for Grayson
Hmmm... Macy doesn't want her blankie washed huh... wonder where she gets THAT from.
BTW... how is your sweater?
That is just awesome.
I'm totally voting for Macy. Only because she kills ants.
Well, and she sounds like my daughter, ESPECIALLY with the "doesn't flush after she poops or pees" thing. Some may call it an attack but I say it just feels like home.
I am leaning towards Macy as she once made Chuck Norris cry. But I would like to know why? Also what are the positions on eating cold pizza with a glass of milk?
