This is how you win an election

[JOVE23]

University of Calgary student Hayley Wade (campaign slogan: “Great dick, bro!“) has been elected Vice President of Student Life after placing her posters above men’s room urinals to appeal to a certain segment of the student body.



“I have no hope for the future ‘professionals’ the University of Calgary is supposed to be pumping out,” said one of her fellow U of C students.

Yes appealing to a man's penis is the way to go since that is usually what they think with.

 

[supraman]

Depends on the situation. But we have two brains.

 

[mikita's helmet]

...and a free hand job with every vote.

I hope those posters are laminated.



Never underestimate the power of a catchy slogan for a student election. The girl who was Freshman, Sophomore and Junior class president for the highschool year behind me lost her Senior year to a dork who ran under the banner, "Vote for XXXX XXXXXX, The Spoon!" She lost by one vote. The guy that won had plastic spoons glued to his posters and friend's hats and only ran because one of the prissy girls told him that he didn't have a chance because he wasn't popular enough to win. They got what they asked for though when the guy later decided to have a seven year reunion instead of a ten year reunion because, uh, they were the class of '87, get it? Anyway, a lot of them missed out on their reunion because they had moved in the meantime and didn't check back with the school with updated contact information until it was a few years too late.

What did the spoon represent?

 

[Bringmepie]

The slogan, "The Spoon" didn't really represent anything. The candidate, this kid (I guess it's safe to use his real name) Mike Tadla, was not otherwise known as "The Spoon", he didn't really play up any other reason to vote for him, or against Tracey, the girl who had been class president her other three years, it was just a catchy phrase that caught on (this was years before it became the war cry of comic book and cartoon character, "The Tick").



I mean, why not vote for the spoon? It just sort of tapped into this mindset of students who really didn't give a flying #### about student council, which was kind of ironic anyway since Mike Tadla was also a member of the student coucil.

What did the spoon represent?

His policies discriminated against sporks.

He was an evil ruler with a strong pimp hand.

We didn't dare to use the pimp hand at Lincoln-Way, the powers that be might have mistaken it as a form of P.D.A. Alas, the class of '87's senior year president had other methods of developing his hand strength (lets just say the "professionals" he was pumping out had little hope for their future as well).

Mike Tadla? That guy is an asshole!!!

Was it you? Cause from what you've been telling me you've got quite a stable of your own right now.

Nah, I was class of '86. The closest I got to the class of '87 student council was ruined when this girl named Michelle Ma... never mind, that's a story better left for the "Bad Hair Day" thread.

I think I was running for 1st grade student council then.
