Help writing a script

Post by gamer2 »

ok, I need help writting a script for something for my Government class.

The script is a mock political ad (no mud slinging :-( ), with a fake political party. Im having trouble coming up with something "comical" for the script, as i dont usually watch politcal ads.


Please help

the politcal party is "Free Thinkers". I need help. It needs to last 15 seconds.

Heh, are there even any ads anymore that aren't mudslinging?

I'd say just start out with a topic that annoys you, and build off of that.

For example, I remember "Vote NO: marriage equality matters," with the proposed amendment being for limiting marriage between only man and woman. You could do something along the same lines, except argue for equality for something ludicrous, like marriage between man and a cactus. Well, that isn't as good as it could be, but I'm not going to just hand out my A material.

When I think of political parody, I think of the Dead Kennedys. You could listen to some of their songs for inspiration, although the issues may be a bit dated. The ones that popped into my head were "Kill the Poor," (Welfare/Use for Bombs) "Soup is Good Food," (Job Security) and possibly "When Ya Get Drafted" (Warfare).

Maybe you could do something about how the gov't catches couples breaking the anti-sodomy laws? Suppose that's not too school friendly though...damn gov't voyeurs...

If my cactus had to go to the hospital I couldn't see it without its permission, and if it was unconscious... oh know. What would I do? :(

WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :shock:

I love my cactus. Actually cacti. There's two of them. But I think the girl one isn't going to make it. :(

Too much water maybe. Cacti are weird.

Hope this helps!
