If this hilarious gun safety ad doesn’t shame half of America’s parents into locking up their weapons, we don’t know what will. So, now, how do we get through to the other half? (Got ideas? Please leave your ideas in the comments below.)
Evolve, the group behind the ad, proclaims themselves as “a third voice” in the gun control debate. They aim to steer clear of divisive gun politics and take a new approach towards preventing the next tragedy: Good marketing. And why not? Waiting for our GOP-led Congress to pass legislation is like waiting for Hell to freeze over (an actual possibility, thanks to the GOP’s lack of action on climate change).
Somehow I am a little late learning about this group Evolve, but damn do I like their style.
As a matter of fact this is not their first ad, and the one that preceded it is equally entertaining.
Personally I think taking out the "dumbasses" part was a bad idea. We could REALLY use that part right about now.
Oh my freaking god, that was hilarious! But point well taken!
ReplyDeleteI think this type of ad might get the point across more effectively. Especially to the younger voters. The way things are now, we're not finding enough common ground, the extremes on both sides of the non debate are firmly entrenched;
ReplyDeleteBoth of those ads are awesome, I think more responsible gun owners should ditch the NRA and join this group.
ReplyDeleteA lot of them are getting out!
DeleteI, for one, sent them my ripped up card and told them they are no longer the NRA I joined!
Thanks Gryph, I'd not heard of the evolve group! Excellent messages.
ReplyDeleteVERY clever stuff! The one with the 'toys' is frickin' hysterical, because it's just so true! That is some creative thinking, there.
ReplyDeletePriceless--more please! A side note: I found your website six years ago after hearing Shannyn Moore do a takedown of the tundra twit. Since then, I've watched your readership grow to worldwide and I'm really proud for you. Five in the am here in arkansas and you've got people from Tokyo to Wales to Australia on your site.
ReplyDeleteContinuing my prior comment from arkansas, your website has given me more belly laughs than I can count over the last six years. Keep it coming, gryphen
ReplyDeleteIt seems the simplest way to get through to people with no sense regarding keeping guns locked and away from children (and teens) is to make it clearly illegal not to, with mandated jail time and mandated hefty fines. THAT might get through to at least some.
