Freak Out Your Friends With Fake Obama VP TXT

Here’s some low-level fuckery to get you through the afternoon, courtesy of perverse Wonkette Operative “Bobby,” who sends hilarious instructions for sending legitimate-looking TXT announcements from Barack Obama. Who will be the new vice president? Whoever you want, that’s who!

Using Verizon’s website its super easy to send fake VP nominations…

https://text.vzw.com/customer_site/jsp/messaging_lo.jsp

Just make the From and Reply to number 62262.

(You have to put your real number in the Call Back field, but it doesn’t show up in the text.)

… and send a message (to your verizon wireless friends) thanking them for their support and letting them know you have chosen Hillaryt Clinton as your running mate!

Don’t forget to hit the Urgent checkbox!

-Bobby

Thanks Bobby, you really know how to take advantage of excitable Obamatards.

    Here’s Sam Nunn’s big chance.

  13. Ken Layne says at 2:28 pm, August 20th, 2008

    AmericanValues: That’s pretty much how Obama won his Illinois state senate seat!

    So I sent my messages. Barack Obama chose either Sen. Barbara Boxer, or former Vice President Walter Mondale, depending on which message you got.

  14. GIJoeIce says at 2:30 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Obama/Snipes!

  15. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:30 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Ted Stephens, with a bullet. Too bad my Obamatard friends are also self-loathing intelligible libruls.

  16. Too Lazy To Sign In says at 2:30 pm, August 20th, 2008

    “Hi Barack here,

    Just wanted to let you know that my running mate will be…

    Your Mom!”

  17. grendel says at 2:35 pm, August 20th, 2008

    It’s gotta be Schwarzenegger … I mean, sure, the Constitution says he can’t be President, but it doesn’t say anything about Veep, does it?

  18. obfuscator says at 2:38 pm, August 20th, 2008

    GIJoeIce:

    “Always Vote on Black!”

  19. Jobbotch says at 2:47 pm, August 20th, 2008

    grendel: But then, when Hillary poisons Obama, who gets to jump to the front of the line? Pelosi?

  20. defeatism says at 2:47 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Um, the callback number definitely shows up in the text.

  21. theblackdog says at 2:47 pm, August 20th, 2008

    I, Barack Obama, have picked Robin Quivers to be my candidate for Vice President.

    BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY!

    Maybe her?, she’s Phat…

  24. masterofzen says at 2:51 pm, August 20th, 2008

    I just texted Rep. Dr. Ron Paul. He shares our campaign’s opposition to the war in Iraq.

  25. OMFG! Now my entire afternoon is shot! Cancel all meetings! This is so much fun.

  26. masterofzen says at 2:55 pm, August 20th, 2008

    By the way, the Verizon site works for Verizon numbers only. Try this instead:

    http://www.txt2day.com/

  27. Oh, please, someone send an “Obama/Cheney” message.
    Then we can talk freak-out…

  28. JadedDIssonance says at 3:07 pm, August 20th, 2008

    I told my Obamafreakyfriends it was Paris Hilton…not trying to be too cruel…they make it so easy though!

  29. ronaldpagan says at 3:10 pm, August 20th, 2008

  32. jinmoom says at 3:15 pm, August 20th, 2008

    masterofzen:

    Those don’t look “official” at all. It says it’s from Txt2day and has some major formatting issues.

  33. JadedDIssonance says at 3:20 pm, August 20th, 2008

  37. obfuscator says at 3:33 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Obama/Edwards 2008

  38. superfecta says at 3:33 pm, August 20th, 2008

    4tehlulz: That would explain why there have been young LaRouchies outside my train station every day this week. I always assumed they had a lower age limit, but apparently I was mistaken.

  39. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:34 pm, August 20th, 2008

    grendel: 18.
    Thyroid condition. Cancer survivor…

    Probably more reliable than McCain living through the next four years.

  40. S.Luggo says at 3:36 pm, August 20th, 2008

    One must decide either to indulge in satire (Obama/Geo. Allen) or to crush the fembotz with false hope (Barry/Hillary). Choices, choices.

  41. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 3:46 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Hmmm. Obama/Kittens? Or Barry/Ice Cream?

    Oh, hell. Barack Obama/Katherine Harris ‘08. [Send! Mwuhahahaha.]

  42. El Bombastico says at 3:47 pm, August 20th, 2008

    This will help the chances of Rep. Truck Nutz (D-TX) immeasurably.

  43. CivicHoliday says at 3:48 pm, August 20th, 2008

    grendel: Socks has 5 out of 9 lives yet to go. That’s 4.7 more than McCain.

  44. voidifaltered says at 3:51 pm, August 20th, 2008
