Vern Anastasio: Superhero For Council

With the advent of broadband Internet and the invention of YouTube and other easy video sharing services, now it’s not just the richest candidates who can make video advertisements for their political campaigns. Sure, so far it’s only three mayoral candidates — Brady, Knox and Evans — who have ads on television, but there’s nothing to stop other mayoral candidates or City Council hopefuls from putting their videos online.

And, thus, here is Vern Anastasio’s initial campaign ad, which shows that he’s not only a candidate for City Council, he has superpowers as well.

Damn. You know, I’m all for better city services, but I think Anastasio should be playing up his abilities of teleportation and super-speed instead. I’m not quite sure how these would help our city, but, I ‘unno, I think they’d impress voters enough to give Vern their vote.

And somewhere in South Philadelphia, Frank DiCicco’s hardwood floors tremble… [Amen]
