Here is a new humorous titillating pun-laden ad by anti-corruption organization RepresentUs, promoting the Freedom to Vote Act. Starring Mark Ruffalo, Jonathan Scott, and Jake Johnson, the video titled Electile Dysfunction, advocates for the Freedom to Vote Act which “bans gerrymandering, makes Election Day a holiday, makes elections more secure, and empowers voters.”
Some zingers from the ad
Is your Democracy flaccid? Trouble maintaining a strong coalition? Tired of the parade of disappointing performances? Then you might be one of the 330 million Americans suffering from Electile Dysfunction.
“I get all excited about a new bill, a debate gets all hot and heated, we'll move things to the floor, and right when we're about to achieve a joint resolution — bam! Total government shutdown. Premature capitulation.”
“I don’t know every time I get an election, maybe this it will be different.”
The Freedom to Vote Act ends your tired, sagging, floppy relationship with politics.
The Freedom to Vote Act is only for democracies healthy enough for electoral activity.
Talk to your representative if you are experiencing greased palms, lined pockets, dictators, neo-fascists and other pre-existing conditions, as you may not be healthy enough for FTVA.
Passing FTVA may cause an increase in being heard, power, a full expression of inalienable rights, representation and a rare federal condition called accountability. If you are experiencing voting lines that last over four hours, call your senator as they have not passed the FTVA.

Is this ad a good humorous way to get a serious topic across? Will it attract eyeballs and attention? Will it educate and motivate voters? Will it appeal to young voters only? Or is this ad too clever for its own sake? What do you think?
