When it comes to social commentary, South Park takes the proverbial cake, constantly cutting through the bullsh*t to get to the nut of the matter with hilarious vulgarity and awesome story-lines. But anyone who watched last Wednesday’s South Park election episode, “About Last Night” was crapping their pants in amazement at the timeliness of the show, which included the results of Tuesday’s election, lines from both John McCain and Barack Obama’s speeches from less than 24-hours before and the explosive celebration of Obamaniacs after his big win that perfectly matched their real-life drunken euphoria.
Immediately, we started asking, how the hell did they do it? Did they make two episodes, one for an Obama victory, one for McCain? Did they have some inside info only available to elite cartoonists? Did they just bank on the polls being right and go for broke? Fortunately, IGN TV was able to get co-creator Matt Stone on the line for an answer. (more…)
Now that Barack Obama has been elected, his supporters are quickly realizing that there is nothing else meaningful to the rest of their life. So instead of “Yes we can,” it’s “Yes, I suck.” The Onion has the full report.
After two extremely long and tedious years, the Presidential horse race is finally coming to a close. There’s been ups and there’s been downs, but more than anything, there’s been an endless barrage of super sexy Hollywood stars getting out to support the celebrity candidate of choice, Barack Obama.
There’s so many hotties getting out the vote for this guy, the list is practically the entire population of Hollywood. Luckily for you, we’ve narrowed it down to the Hottest Hollywood O-Faces from this election. (Sorry Rosie O’Donnell.)
This picture from Wednesday’s Presidential debate at Hofstra University is already so perfect that I’m afraid I’m going to say something to f**k it up. So let’s just let this one speak for itself.
The last debate of the 2008 Presidential election is over, and we’re headed into the homestretch of this long and arduous political process. Both candidates had their moments to shine tonight, and Joe Plumber is suddenly a national celebrity.
But the real winners of tonight is you, because we made the trek to Hofstra University, and caught all of New York’s hottest voters out to support their candidate. So get ready to see the sexier side of the debate – this year, politics is HOT!
Holy hell…Regardless of whether you’re Democrat, Republican, Independent or just lazy, the fact that the fate of the United States is partially being decided by this intellectual powerhouse should be a sobering and disturbing realization. Not that she shouldn’t have the right to vote, but I’m surprised this woman can even dress herself let alone make a good decision.
To begin, it doesn’t matter how we got where we are. I really don’t care how often Obama wants to talk about who is to blame, but we are here now, we are screwed and we have to get out. YES, we know, McCain was not voted Miss Congeniality…we heard. And yes, no one really knows how to pronounce Ahmadinejad – we got it.
The sad part is, we sat around COED office drinking and watching the debate – and when it was done, we started talking and it was quite obvious that we were all watching different debates.
Note to self: If I’m ever running for President of the United States, don’t bail on David Letterman. Not only will he dog on you the whole time, he’ll replace you with your nemesis.
Well, this election is certainly shaping up to be crazy as f**k! With McCain’s pick of Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential choice and the historic presidential run of Barack Obama as the first black nominee of a major party in the Western world, no matter the outcome, history will be made. And all bets are off.
Will Obama turn out new voters in unprecedented numbers? Will Palin solidify the Republican base? Nobody yet knows. But what we do know is that whatever the outcome, it’s going to be interesting!
Who do you think will win the presidential election?
