With the November election drawing near here in the US, we’re constantly being inundated with political ads. Most of them are filled with mud slinging and empty promises. However, the one below is clever without being hateful. Ralph Nader, a third party candidate for president, muses about how cute animals get more media coverage than third party political campaigns and contemplates dressing up as a panda and going to the Washington DC zoo.

The ad sounds odd, and no doubt it is, but still kind of cute.

While I definitely don’t want to turn this site into my own political platform, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to register to vote and get out there on November 4th and voice your opinion, no matter what it is. Also, I’d like to urge everyone to learn more about third party political candidates. You have more than two choices! Learn more about some of the third party candidates here, and register to vote here.

While I’m not voting for Nader, I certainly believe that all parties should have an equal opportunity to get their message out to the public.
