My Cartoon Ads - more effective than current ones?
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 05:01 PM by LVZ
I see a lot of political ads on TV from both pro and anti-Bush and most seem too unfocused or complex for the average guy. I thought up a few and would like your creative comments/suggestions about who I might forward them to for further possible development:

(1) TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH CARTOON:

Announcer: President Bush says he loves tax cuts (image of big valentines heart throbbing in and out)

Hey, why not !!!!

Cartoon of Bush throwing money in the air and yelling "YIPPEE"

This year George Bush got a $31,000 tax cut

Cartoon of Cheney with oil well in background and overstuffed suitcase full of money

This year Vice President Cheney got an $89,000 tax cut

IMAGE OF BIG QUESTION MARK "??" and chorus of "huh???????"

Oh, by the way, how much did YOU get?

==============

(2) SOUTHPARK THEME:

Bush and Cheney as southpark bank robbers counting money:

CHENEY: money from big Oil companies: 2.3 gazillion dollars

BUSH: money from big drug companies: 3.4 gazillion dollars

CHENEY: money from ENRON, WORLDCOM, HALLIBURTON and RUPERT MURDOCH: 1.5 gazillion dollars

BUSH (big grin): being able to hoodwink the American public all over again: PRICELESS

==============

(3) THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES

A cartoon scene in the style of the old "Fractured Fairy Tales" (Rocky & Bullwinkle show):

Bush dressed up in layers of fancy royal clothes waving to the tattered clothed masses below.

Quote a false statement made by Bush and take away part of his clothes with a WHOOSH sound.

Repeat another false statement made by Bush and take away another piece, etc.

After all clothes are gone and a naked cartoon Bush is still walking waving to the crowd, have a young boy shout out "but, mom, he has no clothes" and have a chorus of "ahhs!?" come from the crowd.

After hearing the crowd, naked Bush crosses his hands over his genital area and displays an embarrassed smile.

Word from an announcer: "we've heard falsehoods, exaggerations and excuses from George Bush for four long years. Is it really that hard to see the naked truth?"

--- Bob Carroll, Las Vegas

2. Here's another cartoon idea.
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 05:27 PM by Anti Bush
This one is old...pre Iraq war..but back in vogue again.

Bush is sitting at a big empty desk. But under the desk are stacks and stacks of papers.
Bush is saying... "I have no plans on my desk to attack Iraq."

More complicated variation.
Add several other desks in the background piled high with papers all over their desks. The other desks belong to Rummy, Cheney, Rove etc.

I'd get a mental picture of this cartoon every time I heard him say that.
Maybe it should be titled Bush lie # (?) and Kerry should have a whole series of these cartoon/lies as TV ads. Only takes seconds to show but gets the idea out loud and clear instantly.

Maybe some of you can think up some more lietoons and post them here.

3. Where to forward ?
Anyone have an idea about where I can forward them for evaluation by the anti-Bush campaign?

(I think Kerry would be too cautious to say the "I'm John Kerry and I approved this message" for these 'toons.)
