An Alternate Clinton Ad

So, we've all seen that horrible "Behind the Music" Clinton ad.  You know the one.  OK fine, have a yuk on me.

Terrible.  However, I got to thinking, if Clinton wanted to make a decent ad that targeted my generation, what should she do?  This naked pander obviously wasn't going to work.  What would?  Below you will find my script for a better Clinton ad.

FADE IN:

INT. OFFICE - DAY

Hillary Clinton stands in front of a TV which is situated offscreen.  She wears a Guitar Hero controller strapped over her shoulders, and she frantically tries to play it.

HILLARY - I just don't get this thing.

She continues struggling.

HILLARY - You know, if this was Health Care Hero, I would be kicking its butt.

She gets increasingly frustrated as we hear the familiar sound of a losing attempt at a song.

HILLARY - Oh, to hell with this.

She takes the controller off and drops it to the floor and walks away in a huff.  Title cards come up on the screen which reads:

HILLARY CLINTON.  BAD AT GUITAR HERO.  GOOD AT HEALTH CARE.

FADE OUT

Cut, print, put it on Youtube.  I think that would be far cheaper than her actual monstrosity, and funnier too.  Instead she pays Mark Penn 2.7 million for an ad that will make her target audience laugh and mock her.  Better to just mock yourself.

Besides, why would you spend a lot of money on a production bound for youtube?  Have you seen the quality of most of the videos on that place.  It ain't Citizen Kane we're talking about here.  The best political ads in this day and age are quick, cheap, and reach millions of people for no cost.  Why spend that much money on a slick parody your target audience will merely deride?  It makes no sense.

As an added bonus, this ad would humanize Hillary in a way she seems reluctant to do.  

So, Hillary, if your reading this, go ahead and take this.  Have one on me.  Click through to my homepage though, because the next one will cost you.

I got a million of these.
