If All Ads Were Like Politics

Buy our car. It doesn't break down nearly as often as the other models.

Eat at our restaurant. People don't get food poisoning nearly as often here as that other place.

Our airplanes don't crash nearly as often as the other guy's.

Our bottled water is less contaminated than our competitors.

Sure you get salmonella with our soup, but the other company give you botulism.

Care to add some more?

More to the point, our lifeboats are self bailing. Those holes are only for drainage and part of our superior design.

What? you want plugs for the "drain" holes? What kind of purist pony wanter are you? And besides, if the holes are plugged, how will the water drain out?

While interviewing for a prestigious job, one could say "Hire me because that other guy is worse." Oh, wait a minute. That's Hillary's entire campaign strategy.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

My mind was still on politics, so word association with your comment was dysfunction. My mind kept relating to STD's as super delegates, cabinet members or congress people. i could not sort it all out, so I just hit Send.

Meanwhile, someone in government seems to think STD's are something good as they infected a ton of black servicemen with it back when and left it untreated, and those in charge refuse to teach today's teens how to avoid infections much less how to get treatment.

I don't remember the name of the drug but during the fast-talking disclaimers at the end of one of it's commercials the voice over actually said, "Now causes less severe-bleeding".
