This cartoon addresses a serious concern in modern day society and an issue that everyone should take notice of. The cartoon depicts a female, middle to young of age, at a voting booth. The ballot says president, congress, and American Idol. The caption reads, “How to Increase Your Turnout”. The problem today is voter turnout, and the fact that more people vote for American Idol than the president of the United States. Why are people so driven to vote for such a minimal and tedious reality T.V. show but yet find no interest in deciding who will run the free world. To me this is a disgrace on American lifestyle and gives a bad image all over the world. To be more enveloped by a mindless show rather than be interested in what or who will be in charge of your own personal freedoms is down right ignorant. Weather its convenience or some other personal desire, people should not be more anxious to vote for a reality T.V. star and take no interest in the leader of their country.
