Wonkette
Which is worse: MoveOn.org with a sense of humor or without one? Trick question, the answer is “nuke them all.” Here is their new “funny” ad about how a bunch of people have the Hope Disease, as embodied by a cute lil’ chicken. Will that chicken be sent to Iraq later, like baby Alex? Meh. This video is especially hilarious because it features “Shawn” from hit loser teevee show Boy Meets World. You know, “Shawn,” the one that lived with the English teacher who had a motorcycle. [YouTube, First Read]
LIBTARDS
Meh… I thought the “General Petraeus or General Betray-us” ad was funnier.
Anyone who tries to make a joke about that ‘this is your brain…’ commercial should be sent to Iraq immediately.
Shawn looks like he’d be more comfortable with boy meets boy…or boy eats boy ala Jeff Dahmer…I ‘jus can’t decide.
McCain should do one where he wears high heels and steps on the chick…oh wait that’s already in my DVD collection of crush videos…
my brain on drugs was a lot funnier than that guy’s brain on hope.
Wait one minute…is that that kid from Boy Meets World? The one that isn’t a Savage?
Snark all you want, but I think it’s sad that all of those people have genital herpes.
What?
NoWireHangers: Yeah I read that somewhere, where was it, OH MAYBE IN THE POST I WROTE THANKS 4 READING.
What, is hope like bird flu now?
slavojzizek: Agreed. Especially when the implications of “your brain on hope” results in Obama supporters being compared to fetal fowl.
Jim Newell: Hahaha…erm…sometimes I have to at least try to pretend I’m sort of doing my day job, which means that the comments suffer. I’ll work harder on working less.
Jim Newell: uH-OH. Jim’s resorting to CAPS. Is he just pissed or has he been kidnapped by the Paultards?
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Somebody know A LOT about Boy Meets World.
Well that ad’s about as useful as a bag of rhetoric.
Advocatus_Diaboli: But it’s got that really unfunny comedian guy that no one knows the name of!
Jim Newell:
NoWireHangers:
Snark: 1
Reading Comprehension: 0
Jim, it’s slow. Forgive us as we forgive you.
Mr. Feeny would make an EXCELLENT running mate for someone.
But why is no one remembering that the lesbian from Buffy that’s not Willow is also in the ad?
kizmets_adjutant: This is why Wonkette has hired Jim! Because he is in touch with the things that the Youth Of Today like, being only eleven years old himself.
I prefer to remember him as the hero from Eli Roth’s “Cabin Fever”, where a flesh-eating virus decimated nude and semi-nude twenty-somethings. The more apt analogy for MoveOn.org.
El Bombastico: Were they attractive, male twenty-somethings? I’m looking for some soft-core porn I could pass off as a proper movie when I watch it in the living room.
Josh Fruhlinger: Exactly. I watched almost every episode of “Boy Meets World” and “Full House” when I was 11, which was yesterday.
slavojzizek: They must’ve hired Hillbot’s peeps.

I know MoveOn ‘does a lot of good’ etc but I find them as irritating as Richard Dreyfuss. I’m too lazy to take my name off their mailing list, but never give them a dime. They take the fun out of being a liberal somehow.
Bet their “Gen Betray-us” did way more harm than good, played right into the rightwing bullshit about hating America. For the record I probably DO hate America, but that’s beside the point.
Fail for making us think sad thoughts about how it’s too bad Hopey’s hope is not actually sexually transmitted.
Obama is to Hope as Yogi is to Grizzly Bear.
MoveOn.org — oh how the mighty have fallen.
Actors need money badly, apparently.
Actors are so cute when they try to explain politics.
Well - except for Arnold.
I was actually prepared to like it, and I was going to come back here with a comment about how everybody’s being so damned cynical and it’s easy to criticize and all that, but Jesus H. Fucking Christ on a pogo stick, that was lame.
i watched saved by the bell…so i have no idea what is going on here
This video should be sent to failblog. The transition from pain to perkiness in the middle of the ad doesn’t work.
And why the poultry?
I guess it’s an obscure reference to “a chicken in every plot.”
Oh, Jim. Was this just an overly elaborate way to say you heart “Boy Meets World”? Cause there are chat rooms out there for you, buddy. Just ask Larry Craig (or, hell, any member of the GOP).
Barack Obama will give you horpes.
pickleandcake: That’s the first thing I noticed. Am I sad?
It turns out Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy) is in it too but unlike the dude from Boy Meets World, she cleverly hides her identity by hiding behind a lot of bangs.
Oh snap- hope is that a chicken egg will turn into a chicken? And so many people have been asking what he means.
MoveOn.org, the only media outlet that manages to make Fox News look sane.
itgetter: i think it’s less sad to heart cute buffy lesbians than boy meets world. sorry jim.
