If Democrats Were Republicans They Would Run This Ad

Hat tip to 236.com... a little Monday humor.

If the Democrats want to beat McCain/Palin, they need to start making Rovian-style attack ads. But since they won't, the folks over at 236.com apparently will.

Scary...!

Porn On A Plane

Wherever there's online access, there will be porn... even at 10,000 ft! And flight attendants are crying fowl.

From CNET News:

Leaders of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, asked American Airline's this week to consider adding filters to its in-flight Wi-Fi access to prevent passengers from viewing porn and other inappropriate Web sites while in-flight.

A union representative told Bloomberg News that attendants and passengers have raised "a lot of complaints" over the issue.

American Airlines is one of several airlines testing in-flight Internet access as a way to lure more passengers. American has been offering the service on a limited basis since August 20th on some flights between New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and between New York and Miami. The cost of the service on cross-country flights is $12.95, and it's $9.95 on the New York to Miami route.

The controversy has stirred up an ongoing debate about whether Internet access in public places should be restricted.

Given that people are packed onto planes literally elbow to elbow, it's often hard not to at least glance at the laptop screen of the person sitting next to you. But airlines have not banned people from reading pornographic magazines or watching their own DVDs on flights. And it's just as easy for someone to view a DVD of an adult video on a laptop or flip through Hustler as it is to surf porn Web sites.

The Real Reason McCain Chose Palin

Funny... ha... ha... See my post just below this one as an addendum...

Boom! Bash! Dash!

I always love a good smack-down!!!! Dara Murphy, founder of PUMA, and Will Bowers, of "Just Say No Deal," so-called "phony Democrats" and Hillary supporters, get sliced and diced by David Shuster!

Palin: "What Exactly Does The VP Do Everyday?"

So... as expected the Sarah Palin bashing has already begun... haha.

Here's a clip of her, on air on CNBC about a month ago, July 31, 2008. In the clip, the anchor asks her about her McCain VP prospects and she answers quite emphatically actually, "... But as for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me: 'What is it exactly that the VP does everyday?'"

Well, I'll tell you Mrs Palin, you'd better catch up on your VP homework and find answers to your own question SOON!

The laughter begins around the 1:52 mark.

The Dark Knight - Child's Play

A group of kids recreated The Dark Knight movie trailer.



Here's the original for comparison - how did they do? HAHA!

When Computers Attack! Monday Humor

Something to consider the next time you get frustrated with your computer and physically abuse it... haha...



He's probably using a Windows-based PC :o)


John McCain: "I Don't Know How Many Houses I Own"

When you don't know how many homes you own, it's a clear indication that you own too many, especially given the current state of the American housing market.

John McCain said in a recent
interview with Politico on Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.

"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told Politico. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."

Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.

In recent weeks, Democrats have stepped up their efforts to caricature McCain as the real elitist, given his outlandishly rich lifestyle, as a kind of payback for portraying Obama as the disconnected snob.

Here's a video, titled McCain's Mansions, released last week by Brave New Films and SEIU:

All White Men Look Alike

But I suppose it's better to be mobbed by adoring fans of the person they think you look like, as opposed to hearing the infamous "you fit the description..." while being slammed on the hood of a pig wagon! And just in case you too are fooled by their *unmistakable* resemblance... the "idol" below is Stephen Parry - former British middle-distance swimmer and currently sports Journalist for the BBC - not Michael Phelps.

It's All In The Details... Tuesday Humor!


Do these look like the shoes of an elitist? Pushawwww!!

:o)

I'd like to take a look at soles of McCain's $520 loafers for comparison.

GOP Compares Obama To Hasselhoff

sseOh man... it's obvious that the Republicans have completely run out of ideas, and have not much else to sting Obama's reputation with.

Altogether now... say it loud and say it proud... President Barack Obama!

From HuffPo:

- In the clearest sign yet that the Republicans have all but given up on even pretending that they have ideas worth selling to the American people, the Republican National Committee has sunk time and money into this ad, their "best guess" at what an "Obama ad in Berlin" might look like. Apparently, their best guess is founded on the twin precepts that Germans enjoy techno music and that in a crowd of 200,000 people, it's possible to find someone with "Marxist" friends. Even though it has nothing to do with Germans or Marxism or Berlin, the makers of this ad saw fit to include a woefully dated kicker of Obama yelling, "I'm king of the world!" Appropriately: a Titanic joke from a bunch of titanic jokes.

Tuesday Funnies - Forrest Love?

Those wild and crazy environmentalists over at GreenPeace... what will they ever think of next to get our attention? Tut-tut-tut...

'Hancock' - The Abridged Version! HAHA!

Those guys at Cracked.com and The Editing Room have deconstructed another Hollywood script for us; this time it's Hancock! It's a little too late I think, since it would have been much more timely if they posted it around the film's release date; but, whatever... it's still pretty damn funny!

I already posted my thoughts on Hancock, which you can read HERE; or my popular review of the original 1996 Vincent Ngo penned screenplay, when it was called, Tonight He Comes, which you can read HERE.

So, without wasting any more precious time, I give you Cracked.com's (courtesy of The-Editing-Room) - If Hancock Was 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest

Obama Sells Out!

So... despite all noise it created, the controversial July 21 cover of The New Yorker portraying President Barack Obama as a Muslim, and his wife as a black nationalist revolutionary, has sold more copies at newsstands than the magazine's average sales rate.

According to the New York Post, "the demand has completely overwhelmed Condé Nast's ability to fill requests for additional copies;" Condé Nast of course is the publisher of New Yorker magazine.

Estimates show that sales of that specific issue were almost double the average, or around 75,000 copies, compared with average newsstand sales of around 43,000!


So can we say mission accomplised for Condé Nast? Of course, the publisher denies that this was all an attempt to sell more magazines. Even so... I seriously doubt that they are walking around with sunken heads. Expect more controversial covers in the future...
