Harvey has a precision guided humor assignment you can read about at his blog. Basically he wants slogans for Ralph Nader to use in his quest to become president.
This got me to thinking - always a bad thing. How about:
Ralph Nader for President :
- He'll check everyone's emissions.
- He'll lobby Congress into submission
- Green is not just his skin color, it's what he'll get out of evil corporations
Eh - yuck. I'm sure Harvey and Susie will do MUCH better so stay tuned.
It gets easier with practice. The simple way to get these is to remember that it's all about the stereotypes. (see this post for a great analysis of this point: http://www.imao.us/archives/000710.html#000710)
So what's Nader known for?
badmouthing the Corvair in his book "Unsafe at any Speed"
spoiling the 2000 election for Al Gore
REALLY hating *everything* that any corporation does.
being a political "outsider"
screwing over the Green Party by not running for them this year.
he's looking kind of old & haggard these days
anything that you can mock the Green Party for - guilt by association
and you have to wonder what dirty secret made him leave the Green Party. Mheh.
Just some ideas.
