For people who do not actively participate in World of Warcraft, many of the references in the above video may not do much for you, but if you are one of the world's eleven million WoW players, this is going to be a bucket of laughs. If you have a clear idea what kinds of stats presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain might have if they were WoW characters ... well, let's just say you have a lot of time on your hands.
Oh, and while we're talking numbers, the Horde were 80 percent in favor for Obama... why am I not surprised?

It was kinda funny
I find it quite interesting. I'm actually a Political Scientist (working on a Ph.D.), and I find the bias remarkable. I can't help but wonder if the polling was truly representative. If it was, then I think there is something legitimately interesting at work here. Essentially: what is it about GOP video-game players that makes them want pick humans and dwarve disproportionately? Does it have something to do with black/white visions of morality? Note that, within the Alliance, the "different" races (Night Elf, Draeni, and, to a far lesser extent, Gnomes) still trend mostly the same as the Horde does.
Like I said, I bet there are measurement errors all over this thing, but, if some of the same basic processes are real, then it's really interesting.

Only way to describe it is:
Strange. Funny. Heartrending.
cheers to that.
that was hilarious, and awesome. i love breaking down the 4th wall.
AFAIK it's pronounced "wiv-ern" not "why-vern" so he is indeed correct. Although this is the gamer version of tomay-toe v. tomah-toe. Oh, and "Man-uh" versus "Maw-nah"
I liked the vid, good stuff. You don't need to play WoW to find it entertaining (although it helps, lol).
Now they should do this with Halo players. ;)
