i hate election years - on top of the attack ads, and the possibility of assholes with whom i disagree on absolutely every issue being elected, and the lowest-common-denominatorness of it, and that all the people with an ounce of sense stay absolutely away from the polls and let the crazy people win, and that it's all very boring, and i decided how i'd vote four fucking years ago and nothing has happened to change my mind, and whether or not some ridiculous Austrian thinks he's funny has fuck-all to do with anything - because even if you scrupulously avoid news channels, even if you somehow avoid looking at the tabloid headlines in the supermarket aisle, even if you've deleted CNN from your tv and don't go to any of the big portals with news sections right there on the front page, there's Candidate X. Not even in politics.

In advertising.

Miller, President of Beers! Vote Candidate Zero, Free Internet for Everybody! Vote for the Overhead Action Door Company - 10% off November 2nd only! Cast your vote for a new Nissan today. Ford, voted best of Texas - reelect during the year-end closeout! it's on tv and on the radio and on the internet and on billboards and on the sides of buses and i get so freaking sick of it. can't i absentee-ballot all this shitty dumbass low-budget copycat advertising away yet?
