Okay. The ads are irritating on a good day. (Although at least they are no longer those talking or spastically blinking things. Gawds I hate those things.) But, when I read fanfic, I'm doing so to relax. I do not need to see political ads accusing whomever's opponent of being a lying scumbag - I may be paraphrasing - one two sides of the

I dislike political ads. I can't figure out what they're for, as it's been my experience that most people know how they're going to vote. It seems as if they're just there to get the people who hate whatever candidate's being vilified all riled up and self-righteous. To me, those ads are irritating like ground glass, and I think their utter lack of grace and class is a big reason why Americans have become a people who are considered graceless. They set a standard of behavior that isn't all that acceptable - it's no wonder some people are now incapable of discussing politics rationally anymore.

I completely agree with you. What happened to arguing politicians campaigning on their own platform?!

Actual argument requires structure and backing up one's opinion. Why bother when you can just blast the other guy? Utter nonsense!!

*tilts head at my prior reply* I think I'd meant to take "arguing" out of that sentence. oops

Either way, "utter nonsense" is the perfect description.
