To further the absurdity of present-day elections and political coverage in general, as Mr. Peanutbutter decides to back away from running for governor, Jessica Biel announces her candidacy.

California needs a beautiful, yet approachable face, and the actress supposedly fits that role. Sadly she loses the election because of an article written by Diane, in which she reveals that she is not fond of avocados. And everybody loves avocados.

Screw policy and political experience, her lack of appreciation of the fruit is enough for her to lose. Coodchuck-Berkowitz is a great governor and a real politician, however the society somewhat doubts him, because his face is not as recognizable as that of Mr. Peanutbutter or Biel.

Famous people are elected all of the time, their recognizability the sole reason for them being elected to hold office. The series presents it as more absurd than it actually is, but the message is clear - one needs to understand politics in order to get elected.
