Yes, I’m playing this game right now and yes, it rules. It’s the best of both worlds. You get all of the goodness of a classic Nintendo game, without the Nintendo. At the same time, you take on the role of our future president, Barack Obama, as he stomps any conservative daring enough to stand in his way.
Words cannot simply do this video justice except that it blew my mind how much spare time people can have.
Halloween is upon us, so we’re keeping our eyes peeled for some spooky home decorations that will surely scare the kids. What could be more frightening than pumpkin carvings of your favorite (or least favorite) politicians? Nothing comes to mind.
These “campaign-o-lanterns” offer a slew of PDFs you can use to begin carving your political pumpkins. I don’t know about you, but a Sarah Palin pumpkin would scare the shit out of of me. Not crazy about politicians? How about their wives? Both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama are also included in the package. Scare both liberals and conservatives showing up for candy at your doorstep. That’s killing two birds with one stone.
Barack Obama clothing is everywhere these days. In order to give your even more Obama wardrobe options, UNDFTD teamed up with Geoff McFetridge to make this shirt featuring likenesses of the Democratic Presidential candidate.
UNDFTD’s Obama shirt is part of a voter registration drive. They’re releasing the shirt at an event in Las Vegas on October 4th. It’s a pretty cool shirt, but I can’t help but think that it looks a bit like a ripoff of Pharrell’s last album cover.
In a terrible attempt to stay partisan, we’ll just point you to the link on the iTunes store where you can download a Obama/Biden ‘08 iPhone application. It has campaign news, an Election Day ticker, donate button and plenty of other information. You can even call your friends to get the word out. Anyone used it? Decent? Since McCain has admitted he’s out of touch with technology, I doubt we’ll see an iPhone app from him anytime soon.
Artist Jim Lasser is showing a political art exhibition in Portland, Oregon called “The Dunk on McCain.” For the exhibit Lasser made this neat pair of Barack Obama Air Force Ones featuring the Democratic nominee on the soles.
Lasser’s exhibition also features a series of prints made with the shoes. You’d think that Obama fans would prefer stepping on John McCain’s face. Kids these days just don’t make any sense.
Apparently, people may have actually listened to Vince and sent out fake Vice Presidential pick announcements in advance of Barack Obama’s VP selection. Obama generated a lot of buzz for the decision by telling the press that he’d announce his choice via text messages and email blasts to his supporters.
Joe Biden was named as the Vice presidential candidate this morning, but before the news actually broke there were tons of hoax emails. CNN reports there were scams claiming that Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, and Kathleen Sebelius had been chosen. One of the e-mails came Friday morning from “obama08campaign@aol.com” and reached many prominent Washington reporters. I wonder if the pranksters behind these announcements were actually hoping to influence the selection process or if they just did it for the lulz.
Discovered on someone’s Tumblr yesterday, I found this link to Wonkette that explains how you can send a fake VP announcement to your friends. Why is this a riot? If you follow politics, you’d know that Barack Obama is announcing his vice president via SMS. Text message. Phone rants. So with a little Verizon Wireless trickery, you too can tell your friends that Obama has picked Ryan Ash as his VP, a choice sure to please the nation. Now go fuck with your friends and don’t rat me out.
