  3. That will get the young lads excited about voting.

  4. 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.

  8. An edgy ad with some over-the-top peer pressure, might work better than this cross-generational approach.

  9. Approach reminds of some of the healthcare.gov ads that came out of Colorado. Hey, whatever works…..

    It’s their money….

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

    Comment by Responsa Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 10:49 am

  11. “Hey young men!”

    “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.”

  18. This is the best sketch Saturday Night Live has run in years.

    Comment by Formerly Known As... Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 11:30 am

  19. That’s hot.

    Comment by Ducky LaMoore Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 11:58 am

  20. That was very disturbing….

    Comment by Goonhammer Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 12:09 pm

  21. 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.

    Comment by Lil Squeezy Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 12:17 pm

  22. 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?.

    Comment by modest proposal Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 12:57 pm

  23. 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.

    Comment by justbabs Monday, Aug 18, 14 @ 1:06 pm

  24. Share this video with your friends, if you want to remove them from your friends list. Horrible, Crass, would someone think of the children?
