The Fine Gael Platform Video Game (Click HERE or See below for screenshots)
What's next?:
Good Friday Agreement Action Figures? An effort by Fianna Fail to highlight and preserve what's left of their positive legacy in Irish Politics? Perhaps the figures could have the tagline: " Complete with adjustable poses...and ideology"?
Why not an Irish Labour Mr. Frosty Machine - tagline: "Irish Labour is such fun, they raise tax for everyone! Coalesce and make new friends, but lose support, and the party ends"? (If you wish for a theme tune to 'hum' this to, click here)
Socialist Worker's Party/United Left Alliance Rubik's Cube maybe, sporting the tagline: "Something even the greatest of minds can't quite figure out"?
Irish Goverment Coalition Kinder Eggs: They are nasty, boring, and ultimately and inevitably a disappointment and bear warning "avoid swallowing/choking hazard"?
Or better yet, a new Irish Economy themed game called "KerPlunk".
I have to admit, it is times like this when one can somewhat justify the jeering and cynicism that surrounds Irish politics. While I mean for this post to merely poke fun at an idea (that was clearly ripped from the 2008 Obama Campaign Supporter's Playbook) and publish mere set of musings , I find it a bit scary that links for the are being advertised all over the internet above idea of maybe...promoting what they stand for. If planting Enda Kenny's head atop a poorly drawn cartoon body is what it takes to win an election nowadays; does this mean that in the next election party leaders will have to appear on the X-Factor and be judged by Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, and Louis Walsh (an idea that has admittedly been hinted at before: see here)? How about a new reality show then, call it "So, You Think You Can Lead?"
