Like so many commemorative plates & coins, comics are cashing in on Barack Obama. Spidey Meets the President! is a back-up story in Amazing Spider-Man #583 that reads like one those old Hostess cakes advertisements, which I guess makes Obama a Ding Dong. You know, black on the outside, white on the the inside (zing). The 5-page story takes place on inauguration day. Moments before Obama can be sworn in,
“It’s time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America,” says Hustler’s Larry Flynt. He and “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis are asking for a $5 billion bailout to help stimulate the porn industry, which is down 22%. But Congress isn’t about to get screwed (again). Any bailout will be conditional on cutting the fluff. Fortunately, Congressman Barney Frank has graciously offered to “lend a hand” (zing)
America is winning over more than just hearts and minds in the War on Terror. The CIA is offering Viagra to Afghan warlords who stand up to the Taliban. “Whatever it takes to make friends and influence people — whether it’s building a school or handing out Viagra,” said a CIA operative. The warlords (many of whom had never heard of the drug) are now free to have as much
New York Governor David Paterson doesn’t see the humor in last week’s Saturday Night Live, calling it “third-grade humor.” SNL cast member Fred Armisen portrayed the governer as a bumbling blind man, which is to say accurately. Paterson, who often pokes fun his blindness, says “I don’t mind that they make fun of me, but I thought it was important to speak up for those who don’t have a voice
“Join the gaylactic community or we’ll destroy Uranus!” Happy “Day Without a Gay” everyone! What’s “Day Without a Gay” you ask? Why it’s only the best Christian holiday ever! It’s magical time when all the gays are whisked away in a sort of gay rapture. Self-confessed sodomite Sean Hetherington came up with idea and the color-coordinated website (daywithoutagay.org) in response to Proposition 8, which came just sort of banning gays
With America’s historic election of its first black president, inquiring minds want to know… Who’ll be the First Dog? My vote is for Aibo. This robotic dog is a perfect match for the tech savvy president-elect. Aibo is 100% hypoallergenic and comes with several preprogrammed catch phrases, just like Barack Obama
In recent elections many celebrities have threatened to leave the country should their opponents win, but none have followed through… until now. Racist Frankenstein announced today that he is renouncing his citizenship. In an exclusive interview with L7 World he explains why. Mark: Thanks for joining us today Racist Frankenstein. Before we get started how was your Halloween? Racist Frankenstein: Mmmm… great. Me go as most scary thing of all:
They might not be the most coveted voters, but ironically the homeless may decide who moves into the White House next year. In a landmark ruling this week, U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus ordered swing state Ohio not to reject ballots that fail to list a home address (i.e. homeless). But not everyone is applauding the decision, Deputy Chairman Kevin Dewine (R) alleges “People are being bribed with cigarettes, money
When McCain volunteer Ashley Todd reported she’d been attacked by a black man, many people readily jumped to her defense but just as many had doubts, specifically cable news anchors like Anderson Cooper & Keith Olbermann. They contended that she had made it up, reasoning the B that had been carved into her cheek was backward because she had done it herself in a mirror. Of course, they turned out
At last night’s charity roast in New York, Barack Obama took time out to poke fun of himself, revealing he really is out of this world (video below). But if Obama’s Superman, does that make McCain Batman or Lex Luthor? Like Batman, McCain is rich, bad-tempered, and has a much younger sidekick who looks good in tights. On the other hand, McCain’s is attacking Obama so surely he must be
Publisher IDW is showing its true colors with Presidential Material, a 2-issue biographical comic book on candidates Barack Obama & John McCain. At first glance it seems nonpartisan. The covers, which show each man doing his best impression of Superman, are identical. But while both describe each man’s ups and downs, McCain’s bio is clearly lopsided. And it’s not just the abundance of unflattering facts like McCain’s unlucky streak with planes
The stock market rallied more than 300 points today that is until Congress came to the rescue with its $700 billion bailout bill (plus pork) at which point the Dow plummeted to -157. Congress has sold us a bill of goods. The goverment overpaying for things is nothing new, but if only they’d let the banks fail (like they deserved) the market could have bought them up on the cheap
People for the Ethical Treatment of animals (PETA) is known for churning out some pretty bizarre ideas but their latest is udder nonsense. According to PETA “The breast is best!” They’re urging Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to switch from cow’s milk to breast milk, which they claim is healthier and more humane (except for the actual humans of course). Ben & Jerry’s is refusing to kowtow to them but
Well that’s it, the election’s officially over. With the endorsement of white supremacist group the League of American Patriots (LAP), McKKKCain has got this thing locked up tighter than a black man in America. McCain’s LAP dogs are currently circulating fliers across Northern New Jersey that depict Barack Obama as Osama Bin Laden and ask “Do You Want A Black President?” Using what I can only assume is the scientific
If there’s one thing I hate it’s the language police, and they’re at it again. Republicans are accusing Barack Obama of sexism after he had the audacity to use the expression “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Never mind he was referring to McCain’s brand of change and not Sarah Palin, words do not take on different meanings depending on who they are directed
