Strange School Board Candidate Commercial | How Education Is Like Star Wars
I’ve seen some downright weird commercials in my time, but this one for a guy running for school board is among the strangest. It’s not hard to fathom that he might be a Star Wars fan, but was it really necessary to incorporate that into his campaign?
You can tell that no expense was spared on the special effects here. From the state-of-the-art props to the amazingly realistic lasers, it’s right up there with the real Star Wars. OK, I’m done being sarcastic now.
Maybe there are lots of Star Wars fanatics in Rockingham county, and Mr. Knight was counting on their votes to give him a victory. Or maybe he’s just off his rocker.

It was actually more like, there were SIXTEEN people running for FIVE new at-large seats. It was the biggest field of candidates in county history. EVERYONE was doing something crazy to try to get votes! Other candidates had TV commercials using Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and midget cowboys.
Besides, if I didn’t make this commercial, it would have haunted me for the rest of my life. I *had* to make it. That it made a lot of people laugh was a heckuva great bonus :-)
