Our inbox has been absolutely inundated with hot videos showing PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES in VIDEOGAMES! Because of course, we're not all sick to death of hearing the names "Obama" and "Palin" over and over again. Oh, and that other guy who nobody cares about because he's just an old white guy.
God, it's always so fresh and exciting to find out what those wacky gamers have put Obama in next. You never know what game he'll pop up in, and it's always so hilarious to see the same generic black man in a suit that has been cobbled together using character creation tools.
Obama/Palin in Spore! Obama/Palin in Wii Sports! Obama/Palin in Second Life. Oh the sheer brilliance of it all. I really wish I could post all the jawdropping videos of presidential candidates in videogames, but I might stab my own eyes out with a dog's cock ... out of sheer comedy overload, of course.
As a side note, don't forget to vote today! You OWE it to the country! Your forefathers FOUGHT and DIED on the CROSS for your RIGHT to VOTE! You should all vote for Obama because he's on TV a lot and he's really trendy. Yes, society has reached the point where even politicians can and will be used as fashion statements! But just remember that this election, just like the last one, is the most important election of all time.
So go vote and pretend that you give a sh*t about politics for just one day. Remember, when the election's over, everything will be totally different.

That being said, I'm voting for the Ba-lack Oh-bomb-us today, because I like the idea of having a muslim terrorist for president.
Now I'll finally get to see how the other half lives (meaning the other countries who are run by religious fanatics and are addicted to an oil based economy).
It is scary.
I'm just celebrating the marked end of Bush. Nothing political. I'm just tired of his face.
Hahahaha. Okay.
"hey guys politics dont matter lol HOLY SHIT SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE VIDEO GAMES STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES"
i dont think you really understand the cultural significance of a black candidate, much less president (because i mean come on does anyone honestly believe that mccain will win even if you think he is the better candidate); america had a pretty modern tradition of racism for a civilized country, and though it wasnt so pronounced as it was in other places (sup brazil), slavery still wasnt abolished for a pretty damn long time, again, especially for a civilized country
whether you like it or not, it shows a fuckload of forward social progression that someone, who when he was born wouldnt be able to drink out of the same fucking fountain as you, could be elected king of the free world (spoilers: america is still top dog in the global marketplace and everywhere else is its bitch; look at the current strength of the dollar and everyone elses shitty economy!)
also i dig the part about pretending that politics are irrelevant, considering you are a video game journalist
ill just let that one sink in on its own
video game journalist
also, before you mark me as some lunatic obama supporter or crazy patriotic dickbutt, im a canadian national in america on a student visa
go back to being insignificant and get bent, douche
You are intelligent.
The amount people have been up their own asses about this is phenomenal. The smugness is thick enough to choke most of LA.
If you want a black president because you agree with him great. Don't pontificate about electing a black president for its own sake, though. That'd make about as much sense as affirmative action. Voting for or against someone JUST because they're black or white is still racism.
Douche.
"you are such an arrogant hypocritical fat fucker"
You are intelligent.
derpity derp derp derp go back and read the fucking post
derpity derp derp derp go back and read the fucking post"
And where did I once say that politics were not important? God, for someone who is calling me a hypocrite, you are really doing a good job of showing me an example of one.
Derpity derp derp derp, you are intelligent.
what is implying help i dont know
Yay. More n00bie college poli-sci "experts" who know everything.
I am not sure what this sentence means.
Since you obviously need to be sat down and have the joke explained to you, this post is a comment on the way people are making a big deal out of how they voted like it makes them better people for pretending to give a shit about politics for one day.
Of course, you then lose your mind and start acting like a very rude twat.
I reiterate, you are intelligent.
"Yay. More n00bie college poli-sci "experts" who know everything."
the dollar is up the most in like a decade or some shit, y'know
also, spoilers: insult me all you want (dgaf about that), but ill keep calling you on it until you respond to a post, instead of "HURR UR DUM DURR"
I am terrified.
hey maybe you should have run for president (OH SHIT ICE BURN)
I hear "this is the most important election" every four years. Kind of that whole 'boy who cried wolf' thing by now.
thats what happens when you have something like ten times the population of most european countries; its all relative
also this is still the most socially important election that has ever happened; besides that, did you realize that things can progress? holy shit, alien fucking concept, right? i mean, if this car was billed as the fastest car ever when they made it in nineteen tickity two, why isnt it the fastest anymore?!
i still have a posed question relevant to the intent of this article while it may not be the literal meaning of said article, and you have yet to respond
as it turns out, i dont like you for being such a stuck up twat, and at this rate, we might just invent a wheel or some shit
Put that student education to use and actually reason this out. You might learn something eventually.
Is there some kind of Canadian English people speak that totally doesn't make sense to the rest of the English-speaking planet?
Make sense or GTFO.
This is quite humorous. Might even keep me entertained for the rest of the day. Hooray!
And Jim...it isn't just Canada's educational system, America's youth are pretty darn incompetent too!
oh man, i dont even know where to start
"WTF"
"GTFO"
this is a joke right
this post has to be a joke
oh man, i dont even know where to start"
Yeah, I can tell you're struggling to grasp to meaning of not being a hypersensitive Mr. Internet Angry Man.
Just rub those IQ points together and a spark will come, I assure you. You gotta believe!
And we know better than to act like LordGloom, at least.
Cool ad hominen bro.
He's got a point, though. I'm from Canada and I still have no idea what you're talking about.
you made a post about how you were angry at people making obama miis
Thank you for not being a dick, and least you found it funny. :-)
To answer you, I believe in voting, and I have an interest in the politics of both America and the UK, especially as they are closely linked. My article was not intended to diminish the importance of any election, but to highlight the stupid way in which people turn it into a circus and another opportunity to be fashionable.
You can't deny that Obama has been paraded around like an iPod by many people. It's yet another form of social identity that people use to cover up their own lack of personality. I've found the campaign, especially from Obama people (and I'm not anti-Obama, I think both candidates are ineffectual and shallow) has been incredibly obnoxious.
I'll just be glad to see the end of it.
Thank Christ for that.
besides the obvious issue of capitalization and punctuation, my posts have been completely accurate in a grammatical sense
