Get To Know Them First

This is great ad series that aired in California on inauguration day. It strikes exactly the right tone. It's just honest about how little a person's sexual orientation has to do with his/her lifestyle. Unfortunately one of the ABC affiliates, KABC in Los Angeles, refused to put the ads on air because they were "too controversial" considering that "many families will be watching."

By the way, here's a promo for ABC's sunday night line-up.



Now there's some heartwarming family television advertising. Let that be a lesson, gay-rights advocates. Sex it up a bit! Put a little boobage in there. Use "slumber party" as a euphemism for lesbian sex and KABC is sure to come around. Because let's face it, kids love slumber parties.

President Badass

Finally, a chief executive who is action figure worthy.

Forget W's cowboy image. Obama is a secret fucking agent!



Oh, I think you're gonna want some free health care, when he's through with you!



And you have to admit, Barack Obama does kind of sound like a name George Lucas would make up.

McCain/Irony '08

I created a facebook group today. It's called McCain/Irony '08.

Here's a photo I made for it.



Here's the text from the group's description.

This group is dedicated to documenting the supreme love of irony John McCain has shown in his bid for the presidency.

--------

Some examples of John McCain's delicious sense of irony:

McCain is married to a corporate heiress and owns seven houses, yet he chides Obama for being an out-of-touch elitist. Obama, meanwhile, was raised by a single-mother (sometimes on food stamps) and wouldn't even qualify as rich today by McCain's own standard (over $5,000,000 a year).

-Well played, John.

**************************

McCain uses the slogan "Country First." Yet in his pick for Vice President, he blatantly pandered to a specific demographic, showing more of an interest in electioneering than governing. Obama, however, picked someone who, while he didn't electrify pundits and commentators, is clearly qualified to be Vice President.

-Oh, that is wicked!

**************************

McCain has accused of Obama running on celebrity, when McCain's own career has been built on the cornerstone of being a famous war hero.

-Oh, I see what you did there.

**************************

McCain insists that Obama is all talk and no substance. Meanwhile, newspaper headlines are showing the concrete results of McCain's prefered financial policies and he insists that he'll reform the very system he helped implement.

-He's the master. You got me again, McCain!

**************************

The Republican National Convention was a smorgasbord of irony, as McCain received exuberant cheers for supposedly fighting against the very people who were exuberantly cheering. His speech could be summarized thusly:

"I'm going to go change the way they do business in Washington, where I've done business for 26 years, and tell my colleagues, who I've consistently agreed and voted with, that I won't put up with our way of doing things anymore"

-Vonnegut Smonnegut! If he was any more ironic, we'd start to think he was serious!

Think Tinker

I am brilliant!

It's the sleeves, what does it.

Two hilariously outdated films posted in one day? Ooh! Swish!



The narrator does accurately predict portable phones and music players for men. Sadly, looking like Don Quixote in a spaceman suit has yet to become the social norm.

Few Blind People Join Nudist Colonies

This "outstanding news reporter" is really obsessed with porno. Someone should tell him he has a problem.

"I whispered it to you during the movie."

My new favorite film critics.
