Election ads

I've been seeing commercials lately for payattention.org - a website dedicated to getting people out to vote. If you haven't seen the commercials, they start off like any other commercial you might see for a political candidate, but then you find out that the "candidate" is a bag of leaves or an old relish packet. The idea is that they are trying to encourage you to pay attention to who you are voting for because otherwise you don't know what you will get.

I think their commercials have backfired though. Having seen some of the people running for office around here, I'll take bag of leaves any day.
