Area Man To Run Naked Through StreetsTonight No Matter Who Wins Election

The article I chose is a satirization of the American voter. It is based on a fictitious Omaha man who has made a tradition of streaking through his city's streets after the results of the Presidential election have been announced. It is basically making fun of the way Americans involve themselves in politics these days. Nobody really learns the facts, follows the candidates, debates, and developments of the race, and then makes an informed decision. They mainly just pick a side based on how they were raised or on a couple of the many issues that are being discussed and lose their interest as soon as the race is over. It really doesn't matter who wins the election when the people are as ignorant and apathetic as they are depicted here.
