Ad-versity
Did’ja see it, kids? The Republicans have a brand new slogan! “The Change You Deserve.” Nice, huh? The only problem is, Chris Bower over at Open Left tells us it already belongs to Effexor XR, an anti-depressant. Well, I got to thinking that, since the Rethugs don’t seem to mind borrowing slogans, they might find some other ones useful as well. Of course, I love helping out our buddies on the other side, so I took it upon myself to find a few suitable ones for them.
I think this one works quite well. It will appeal to kids as well as busy moms on the go:
Whaddya think, kids? Short, sweet, to the point. I think it’s a winner! But if you don’t like that one, don’t worry, I have a few more!
Who needs anti-depressants when you have chocolate? No side effects to worry about with this:
There are lots of other food slogans that are quite appropriate, especially with Captain Underpants Senator McCain being the presumptive nominee. Here are a few that I found. Some of them are pretty old. See which ones you remember. I put them on signs so you can get a feel for how they will look!
Nice, huh? It not only tells us that Captain Underpants Senator McCain is running, but also reminds us who is in office now! And it appeals to Captain Underpants’s Senator McCain’s age demographic.
You know, the slogan doesn’t even have to be from the U. S.! Everything else is outsourced, right? Here’s one from the U. K. that I think will work well:
Way to go to get in good with the international community!
Of course, the slogans don’t have to be about food. Here’s one that worked just fine:
Volkswagen:
I know when I think of Captain Underpants Senator McCain, I think of bugs! 
I didn’t forget you smokers either!
Tareyton:
Yeah, sometimes you have to tweak the words just a bit, but it still works!
Here are a couple more signs I’m sure any Republican would be proud to have on their front lawns:
REX Records, also from the U. K.:
Well, there you have it, kids. Why don’tcha look for some slogans and make your own signs! It’s fun, and you can hand them out to all your Republican friends!

Omg! These are excellent! Well done, sir!

I’m going to have to print out the “rethug boy” to hang off of my garage. Besides, if by some cruel twist of fate Captain Underpants gets elected, we’re going to need all the chocolate we can get….

thanks, ellroon,
but not sir, at least not as long as i can hang on to this last drop of estrogen. would a man really have praised chocolate so? that’s the dead giveaway that i am female.

gotta,
i was very relieved to think of almond joy instead of any other candy. you see, i don’t like coconut, so it doesn’t matter to me if my gag reflex kicks in when i see an almond joy bar, and i am reminded of captain underpants.
May 14th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Ah, see, I love coconut, but I’m also a dark chocolate kind of gal, so I can live with the awful image of Almond Joy as McCain fodder. Now, if you’d desecrated the Mounds bars, I’d have been very sad while retching on my shoes…..
May 14th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
mmmmmm dark chocolate. my favorite! i will make a mental note to stay away from using the image of a mounds bar, gotta. just for you!

[…] Don’t forget, kids, it’s Wednesday, and that means I’ve got something for you over at American Street! […]
May 14th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Thanks, nonnie, but if inspiration overcomes you and there’s a Mounds bar involved, don’t hold back on my account. I think my craving for dark chocolate can be satisfied without the addition of coconut. I’d rather have one of your bursts of creativity any day than a Mounds bar….

thanks gotta!
i don’t like coconut, which is a bummer when you love in floriduhhhhh and there are a million palm trees around.
maybe if i connect capt underpants with enough unhealthy foods, it will go towards fighting obesity in america.

May 15th, 2008 at 12:40 am

Don’t like coconut? We need to talk, Nonnie! Alas, my older son (and his wife) don’t like coconut, either. Where did I go wrong as a father?

nightowl,
do you remember the sunsweet prune ad? it was possibly the most brilliant line in all of advertising. i actually found tons of advertising slogans that were fitting (some with a little bit of tweaking), but i couldn’t find the actual ads.

my dear fearguth,
) as you can see, i don’t order many piña coladas! 
let me try to explain to you that you are not a bad father. eating coconut is like eating shredded paper. it is almost as bad as pineapple! (yeah, why not open up that can of worms?
May 15th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Oh, yea. I remembered the Sunsweet Prune ad. But, only you have the kind of mind that could work the magic connection between it and Captain Underpants! You are such a hoot, nonnie!
May 15th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
no huge leap involve, nightowl. whenever i look at capt underpants, i immediately think of prunes.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am
A thousand apologies, dear madam. as one woman to another, I bow in your general direction.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
no apology necessary, m’dear. but as long as you are bowing anyway, would you be so kind as to pick up that bit of schmutz on the floor? thanks!
