<div>It has been well and truly said that if you have to explain a joke, it wasn't funny in the first place. However, if it is worth your while to ask, I must try to answer, since I offered the ad as a subject of humor in the first place.</div>

<div>I believe the point of the ad is simply to publicize the radio station and entice people to listen to it, like any other radio station billboard. They are trying a humorous twist on the election season, just like Saturday Night Live and Conan the Librarian do. (OK, what's that guy's name on the night-time show? Conan something.) Apparently -- I don't listen to the station -- these DJ's have a rep on the air of being bad guys or troubled men, so someone in the PR department thought this would be funny. I did too, but it probably won't induce me to listen to the station. The kind of humor which reminds us not to take the elections TOO seriously is always in order.</div>
