I have a suggestion for an invention. I am so tired of all the nasty election ads, especially since I have already voted. I don’t know about everywhere else, but we have early voting here and I took advantage of that last week. It seems the closer it gets to election day, the nastier the ads get.
So here’s my suggestion. Somebody please come up with a device that will work with our televisions, so that as soon as we vote, we get a code that we can input that will enable us to get alternate ads whenever a political ad comes on. I’d even be happy if the tv would just mute itself when those ads come on.
Maybe we can vote on that next time!

does it have to only work after you’ve voted? because i could use one of those a couple months before election time! those ads don’t influence my voting in any way, except to make me not want to vote at all.
ME TOO!!! I wish we cuold go back to the day where there were no ads!!!
I was kind of thinking of it as a reward for voting, but maybe y’all are right.
I’ll call my congressman, once he (or she) gets elected, and we’ll get busy on getting this on the ballot for the next election. Now, we’ll have to prepare some ads, both print and tv. Then we’ll do some personal talks to small groups……
Thanks goodness for the mute button, huh? lolol
