I wish the DNC would make ads like these. Wish I had time to make my own and post them on YouTube.

Sometimes, humor and ridicule work better to lure independent voters.

30-second spot titled "Can't see the trees"

( Vehicle drives into a jungle clearing, exotic birds and animal sounds in the background...)

Female safari tourist: "I just love seeing animals in their natural states."

(Something becomes visible ahead in a clearing...)

Female tourist: "Wait. What is that?"

(Tighter shot of a couple dozen elephants with their heads stuck in the ground, bodies flailing about...)

Male guide: "Oh, that's just Republicans."

(Vehicle slows, draws closer to the elephants...)

Female guide, warily: "Are they dangerous?"

Male guide: "Sometimes."

(Vehicle bumper edges toward an elephant...)

Female tourist: "They're blocking our way. What should we do?"

Male guide: "Just go around them."

(Wide shot of vehicle weaving left and right, around the elephants...)

Female tourist (looking back after vehicle clears the elephant pack): "Won't they follow us?"

Male guide: "They can't see where we're going."

Pausing, relieved, female tourist continues: "How long will they stay like that?

Male guide: "No one knows."

(Fade to text; the word "we're" is underlined...)

30-second spot titled "Refocus"

(Two boys, one with blue 'Dem' shirt, the other with red 'Rep' shirt, walk into a living room. A few red marks are noticable on their arms, legs, faces...)

Mom: What happened to you?

Boys: Ants.

Dad: Son, ants are like little terrorists. Here's what I used when I was your age. Go get 'em. (Dad hands two magnifying glasses to the boys...)

(Scene switches to boys, sitting on separate mounds, some distance apart, in an open field...)

(Tight shot on Dem boy burning ants...)

Dem boy: Wow, this works great.

(Off camera) Rep boy: Not for me.

(Tight shot of Rep boy, covered with additional red marks...)

Dem boy: Gosh! They really got you.

Rep boy: Naw, I've been burning myself. I haven't seen any ants over here. ... Wait, now I do.

(Dem boy moves and starts to sit down with Rep boy...)

Dem boy: Gee, you just don't get it. Come over here and I'll show you what to do.

(Fade to text, 2 separate panes...)

Text (1st pane): Attacking the wrong country burns us all.

Text (2nd pane): Refocus the war on terror. We'll show you how at www.democrats.org.
