Not sure about other folks, but being sexually suggestive, while attempting to encourage the electorate, particularly young people, to vote comes off as crass… and inappropriate. Equality Illinois, #dobetternexttime.
“Susan B. Anthony here, wearing a new black full length Victorian gown with a bustle, swinging my hatchet and wearing a hot new black bonnet number on my gray bun.”
“I want you handsome men to keep your purity and health by signing up and voting for the Prohibition Party this November!”
“All the widows at the WCTU want to see you choose to save your manhood for a sweetheart on the farm, instead of losing it on a tavern trollop under the evil spell of demon whiskey!”
“So don’t be shy! Saddle up and ride your frisky ponies to the Prohibition Party Convention held in Medicine Lodge Kansas. We’ll show you a way to get to heaven that you’ll never forget!”
“This message brought to you by the Prohibition Party, and I approve this message.”
You want your audience to remember the ad, and you want your audience to help you distribute the add by sharing it. Seems like this will accomplish both of those goals.
Hey, you posted it, im sure others will repost it also. Is it funny? No. Is it in bad taste? Yes Will it get the message out? Maybe. Lets wait to find out?.

An edgy ad with some over-the-top peer pressure, might work better than this cross-generational approach.
- Judgment Day - Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 10:47 am:
Approach reminds of some of the healthcare.gov ads that came out of Colorado. Hey, whatever works…..
It’s their money….

I’m sure the companion ad featuring two lecherous looking old guys and two younger women will be equally as charming and persuasive.

It’s not funny or enticing. Who would repost? if Rich hadn’t posted it here, I never would have seen it. And I really wish I hadn’t.
