A Political Ad That’s Actually Funny [VIDEO]

If you’re tired of the same old political bickering, a new website wants to inject some humor into our political debates. SamePageNation.com, which launches today, promises to eschew tribal identities, instead aiming to reframe the left vs. right paradigm to an outsider vs. insider one.

Their first video, “There’s a Contract For That,” spoofs those ubiquitous Progressive Insurance ads featuring “Flo,” and tackles the timely issue of gay marriage. Rather than engaging in a messy culture war over religion, the video suggests obtaining the benefits of marriage should be as simple as signing a legal contract.

It was directed and produced by Chris Burgard — the man behind that famous Herman Cain “smoking man” ad. I’m told the creators plan to release a series of videos in the coming weeks — possibly even one weighing in on the 2016 GOP field.
