I could use a political reference in my adbuster if I choose to compare the way politicians act in our government and the way players act, or are perceived to act, as role models. For example, in my adbuster, Kobe Bryant will be somewhat villainized, even though the accusations were never definitively proven, and the act was likely only a mistake of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, whether it is true or not, we know that the situation was blown up by media because of Bryant's status in the sports world. He is examined under a microscope and ridiculed, just as powerful politicians are today. They have an important job to do, but they are human, as we all are. Therefore, it seems wrong to criticize such people on everything they do rather than to only concern ourselves with the aspects of their lives relating to their job. You could also talk about how mistakes can be used against you, just as political mistakes are used against a representative or party.
