SUBMITTED Boring Issue, Another Option, Another Option

Postby Australian rePublic » Sun May 21, 2017 4:28 am

What do you do when there are hundreds of cliches in issues? Exactly, you write an issue that satyrises the cleiches!



What do you do when you are told that there are too many issue cliches? If you said avoid using the cliches, well then you are wrong. The correct answer is to write an issue satirising them!
[title] Boring Issue, Another Option, Another Option

[desc] A group of angry protesters has crowded the streets and caused a traffic jam, to raise awareness of how @@DENONYMPLURAL@@ always use the same methods of protest

[validity] Must allow protests

[option] "Won't somebody please think of the children?" asks @@RANDOMFEMALEFIRSTNAME@@ Flanders, as she bangs down your door and slams on your desks "These monotonous reactions are breeding one boring generation after another. Bring an end to monotonous protests by, I don't know, extending copyright law, or something" she then opens the curtain to reveal her angry mob blocking traffic.
[effect] making signs for protests violates copyright law

[option] "Whoever has a problem with monotony can bite my shiny metal ass" suggests @@RANDOMMALEFIRSTNAME@@ Bender, whilst showing you his metallic donkey shaped chew toy "I mean I'd like to hear your suggestions about how to protest... exactly... I mean we may use the same methods over and over again, but that's because they're effective"
[effect] monotony has become the nation's number 1 export

I like the idea, although I think it could use a third option or something to add substance to the issue.

Quick spell check:
montonous -> monotonous x2
blcoking->blocking

I am assuming that numerous misspellings are part of those cliches you're parodying? Or is that just you?

They're spelled "cliché" and "satirize".

I fixed the typos, and didn't bother with a new draft as it was just typo fixing. Any ideas for as third option?
