Debate

 

You watched the big debate last night, didn't you? It was the last critical piece of information you needed before deciding who to vote for, right?

*cough* Spare me.

There should be better ways to pick a president, don't you think?

Pres-Tube:
Every person in the country who is even remotely interested in the job can post a short video to this youtube-ish site, stating their case. One video per candidate, no exceptions. Of course, this means our next president could easily be the "Leave Britney alone!" kid, or Rick Astley. But honestly, I think I could live with that.

Presidential Pyramid Scheme:
"If you forward this email to FIVE friends, and if each of them forwards this email to FIVE of their friends, then your vote will count TWICE in the general election! However, if you don't forward this email in the next 48 hours, we'll dust off Herbert Hoover and stick him in the big chair. Choose wisely!"

Presidential Junkyard Wars:
Interested candidates have to work within the confines of a junkyard to create a working siege catapult. The first one to successfully launch a flaming oil-soaked boulder onto the set of "The View" wins. In addition to ultimately providing a public service, this method will also teach the victorious candidate to work with garbage. His methods will not need to change much when dealing with congress.

Got any other suggestions?
