Ok, so I've talked to some of you about this, and i hate to start a new thread, but i wanna start fresh.
I have an idea i feel like i can go far with, but only with some help of ya guys who may know alot of this stuff.
But as Fluffernutter told me, what im writing about created a new analogy for comparing politicians.
So basically were playing Smash or Trash....
It's a 10 min play competition, and first i gotta qualify from my school, then im in the actual competition, but if i get an original idea that breaks away from the dull "kid kills himself, or kids fall in love" plays everyone else is writing, i have a better shot at moving on.
Here we go:
Plot: The Young Republicans and Young Democrats clubs engage in aggressive campaigns for High School Class President....
Setting: High School, modern day....near Washington D.C.
Style: Political Satire of the past elections, scandals, mudslinging and such...
Message: Politicians are like teenagers, they care about thier image, not thier peers, they pass rumours, and lie vicously. Hence why the play is set in a high school....
Potential Jokes:
1. The canidates reflect the 2000 election canidates.
2. The Republicans dad was class president at the same high school.
3. The Two parties try and get minority votes. (i.e. jocks, cheerleaders, gothic/punk kids...)
4. Only about 30% or more of americans actually vote. All the people who said they would vote for thier canidate dont.
5. The SGA (student goverment) is controlled by the Repulicans, much like the House today. Making it harder for the Democratic canidate to pass spirit days (i.e laws in real politics).
6. A pretty face doesnt mean thier pretty smart...
7. A third party wins.
8. Class President is a worthless position, and is not worth all the fighting, but because it looks good on a college application, its a worthy cause to the canidates.
Ok so begin ripping my little idea apart, and please leave some feedback i can use to make this better. Or better yet, leave some jokes or ideas i could expand on.
If i can win this thing, I guarantee the words, "Thanks to RonFez.net for thier support and help" will be on my thanks page. and maybe save ron and fez =)
Ok, GO!
(BTW, Excuse any gramatical errors, noones perfect, especcially at 3 AM)
