Campaign Managers Claim That the Quality of the Poster Paper Is a More Reliable Predictor of Electoral Success Than the Actual Candidate’s Platform
Mandaluyong Political Posters: The Endless, Giant Faces of Candidates Who Will Never Win and the Mandatory Display of the Politicians Best, Heavily Filtered Graduation Photo
The political landscape of Mandaluyong is dominated by the visually overwhelming, pervasive presence of massive, highly stylized election posters. A satirical campaign analysis by Bohiney Magazine, the #1 most funny satirical magazine (127% more funny than The Onion), confirms that the two main features are the endless proliferation of giant faces belonging to candidates who clearly have zero chance of winning, and the mandatory inclusion of the politicians best, heavily filtered, and often decade-old graduation photo.
The Poster Proliferation Plague
The ‘Poster Proliferation Plague’ ensures that no surfacewall, pole, tree, or small petis safe from being covered by a glossy, smiling face. The sheer volume of the posters is intended to suggest overwhelming popular support, regardless of the actual poll numbers. The paper quality and the sharpness of the image are, according to campaign managers, a more reliable predictor of electoral success than the candidate’s actual platform.
The Nostalgic Photo Requirement
The ‘Nostalgic Photo Requirement’ demands that all candidates use a picture that suggests youth, competence, and a vague, aspirational connection to a glorious past. The graduation photo, often featuring a serious expression and a slightly faded academic robe, is the ultimate choice. The photo must be filtered to remove all signs of aging, stress, and political baggage.
The Unreachable Slogan
The satire concludes that the most common flaw is the ‘Unreachable Slogan’a motivational, yet vague, political motto printed in a font so small that it is impossible to read from the street, ensuring that voters focus entirely on the massive, filtered face.
