In honor of the Rock-n-Roller and Cartoon character threads, which of those incredibly adorable, TV commercial filling, cereal mascots could run the country with the best results.
Cap’n Crunch has to be the favorite. He obviously has some leadership qualities. He is also flexible (original, crunchberries, peanut-butter crunch). He never goes soft in a tough situation, i.e. being soaked in milk for long periods of time. There are other qualified candidates, but the Cap’n takes the prize. (That’s probably why I couldn’t find it in my last box).
Forget the Trix rabbit as VP. Would you want the second-in-command to be a creature who can’t even get a bowl of cereal from a bunch of snot-nosed kids?
Then again, I always knew everyone else is, too. A scandal like that, mixed in with some embezzlement rumors, could destroy the largely ineffectual but well-enjoyed Cap’n Crunch administration.
Because of that (and one or two other scandals involving the Cap’n and, well, the fact that he’s still sailor and all that goes with that), when the Trix Rabbit decides to run for president, he may find himself barely defeated by the rivals in the other party, lead by the smooth-talking Sugar Bear and the Cookie Crisp Cook as his vice president. :eek:
The Trix Rabbit might’ve had the election, if only the independant charismatic Tony the Tiger had not have influenced voters who may have voted for the Trix Rabbit. Will there ever be room in America for the third party?
Not only do I remember it, I still have the campaign button I sent away for. “YES - LET THE RABBIT EAT TRIX!” with the Rabbit saying, “Thanks, nice kid!”
I’ll bet you the “NO” buttons were hardly requested at all. They must be worth a fortune on eBay.
Yeah, but only because he was born into a monarchy, not because he earned it. He wouldn’t last 5 minutes in a country whose leaders are elected democratically.
Intaglio is right – Toucan Sam is the only logical choice. He might not have the leadership experience, but that flamboyant beak of his looks great on TV and is just the thing to draw in the voters.
