Thinking about the upcoming presidential debates, things I'd like to see:
1. Each candidate has to answer one question after breathing in a big hit of helium.
2. Each candidate is given two "Challenge Cards" to call BS on the other candidate. Once thrown, their opponent's answer is either validated or deemed to be BS. If BS, the candidate who threw the challenge keeps the challenge. The lying candidate has to apologize and wear a "Liar" button until the other candidate loses a challenge, at which point, the button is exchanged.
3. Each candidate is allowed to ask the other candidate two questions of their choice which must be met with a reply. The Challenge option is applicable to all answers.
4. Each candidate is allowed one three minute uninterrupted thrashing of a moderator of their choice at any time during the debate. If the moderator flinches, speaks and/or makes a discerning facial expression the candidate may slap them across the face with a dead fish.
5. A lighted like/not like meter is attached to the front of each candidate's podium. Live analysis based on an equally distributed voting mechanism. One meter will be voted on only by children under 10 years old, a second by US veterans who served in a location of conflict and a third by the Widespread Panic fan club.
6. Each candidate will be backed by a team of scantily clad cheerleaders of their choice and Snoop Dogg will be one of the moderators.
