DNC Hotel Shocker: Wooden Key Cards Suck

by Sara K. Smith  

'The trees say wooden key cards suck.'The downtown Sheraton in Denver was handing out WOODEN key cards, made of WOOD, as part of the Democrats’ secret plan to embarrass themselves in front of the nation with their deliriously impractical solutions to such urgent problems as America’s overreliance on plastic hotel key cards. Of course these wooden key cards did not work right and clerks had to give people plastic cards so that they could actually get into their rooms. Next thing you know, we will be hearing that the DNC-endorsed woven hemp condoms for local courtesans weren’t such a hot idea either. [New York Sun]

Wooden magnetic strips don’t work?

That’s unpossible!

Naked Bunny with a Whip August 25, 2008 at 12:54 pm

The condoms work great if you can work up enough friction to set them smoking.

Anita Cocktail August 25, 2008 at 12:55 pm

Ahh, gricklegrass.

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 12:55 pm

You guys just weren’t using them correctly! You’re supposed to rub two of them together until you can burn the door down. DUH.

StripesAndPlaids August 25, 2008 at 12:56 pm

Somebody is just giving Fox news a chance to run the headline: “Democrats Sport Wood in Denver.”

wx insider August 25, 2008 at 12:58 pm

“puting the wood to her” takes on a whole new meaning

spencer August 25, 2008 at 1:00 pm

Europeans can get these to work no problem.

freakishlystrong August 25, 2008 at 1:00 pm

Man, can the Dems sound any gayer? They need to pound whiskey and eat fresh babies like the republitards do, so they too can be porcine, bloated, macho douchebags..

Hart88 August 25, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Oh, like you hate hemp condoms…

RuperttheBear August 25, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Maybe they should rethink the recycled mouthwash.

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 1:02 pm

[re=68345]wx insider[/re]: I was going to say “I’ve got wood”, but yours works too.

MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend August 25, 2008 at 1:06 pm

So, they wasted some wood to make keycards when the plastic ones are already available? Brilliant!

Miller August 25, 2008 at 1:06 pm

Wood? What next, carved metal trinkets you have to turn inside a metal orb to gain access to you room? Witchcraft.

I like the kind with stems and seeds for her pleasure.

Deepthroat August 25, 2008 at 1:09 pm

all that wood and no slots to stick it in… sad

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 1:10 pm

…lemme get this straight, to emphasize our dependence on plastics(oil based I assume) some rocket scientist decides to clear cut a couple acres of rain forest to make key card?! Makes perfect sense to me!!! *face in palm*

shortsshortsshorts August 25, 2008 at 1:11 pm

Hey DNC fuckheads! Here’s a sustainable idea!!

Leave the fucking doors unlocked.
TA DA!

itgetter August 25, 2008 at 1:11 pm

Stupid dems. A thneed is a thing that everyone needs!

Tybalt August 25, 2008 at 1:12 pm

[re=68366]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: What’s worse, every single one of those trees could have given us 40 barrels of oil. A tragic loss.

ReelectTilden August 25, 2008 at 1:12 pm

This is what happens when you believe your own bullshit.

snig August 25, 2008 at 1:13 pm

They just need a little piggy to build one out of bricks, and it’ll all work out.

Naked Bunny with a Whip August 25, 2008 at 1:13 pm

I used my condom to pick my lock.

…Wait, I probably shouldn’t be admitting that.

shortsshortsshorts August 25, 2008 at 1:13 pm

[re=68370]Tybalt[/re]: Fuck ya.
Win.

LittlePig August 25, 2008 at 1:17 pm

Once you go truffula…

ManchuCandidate August 25, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Could have been worse, the Downtown Sheraton scrapped the plan for gasoline filled water beds and candles.

Aurelio August 25, 2008 at 1:19 pm

Those “wooden” key cards were actually slices of Bill Clinton’s pecker.

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 1:20 pm

…hemp condoms? Well atleast you would have something else to smoke after sex other than cigarettes. Do they come in Menthol?

columnv August 25, 2008 at 1:20 pm

I assume they were using wood because it’s more environmentally friendly? Can’t you recycle plastic key-cards?

Fuckers. You guys are pussies too. You should all just leave your doors unlocked and fight the anarchists and fox anchors who come down your hall asking if you love freedom.

I reiterate: pussies.

WadISay August 25, 2008 at 1:22 pm

In Saint Paul, the Repub’s hotel rooms will all have “Protected by Smity & Wesson” stickers on them.

WonksRunAmuck August 25, 2008 at 1:23 pm

I can see the headline now: “Hemp Condoms: Edwards Environmental Concerns Responsible for Love Child”

Cogito Ergo Bibo August 25, 2008 at 1:23 pm

A clerk said they were now handing out one of each and suggested that the wooden one could kept as a souvenir.

Nothing says “I went to the Democratic Convention” like a little wood in your pants.

FalconerHK August 25, 2008 at 1:24 pm

From teh Fox website:

In order to steal some of the limelight from the Democrats’ environmentally-friendly convention initiatives, which included wooden room keys and “green” campaign materials, Republicans decided to go one better and make their convention stage backdrop from the eco-friendly recycled skin of Iraqi orphans. The 90-foot by 120-foot skin curtain is hand-painted by the youngest residents of Abu Graihb in a festive American flag motif combining smiley faces, happy soldiers and whimsical tiger cages.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain stated, “This backdrop is a perfect metaphor for our all-American, Republican family values. We’ve got a giant American flag which has been tanned and painted by the children of Iraq, our Middle-Eastern beacon of democracy. ‘Waste not, want not’ as they say, and taking a cue from that cute Jack Johnson song from the monkey cartoon, we’re ‘Reducing, Reusing and Recycling” the no-longer-used skin from sub-adult insurgents recently freed from the heavy yoke of life in Iraq.”

When asked about the various small perforations in the backdrop, Sen. McCain stated that “they left open the eye holes, mouths, buttholes, bulletholes, power drill holes and shrapnel wounds to help tell the story of the glorious victory we’re about to achieve in Iraq. Also, those open orifices keep the curtain from flapping around in the breeze. This is a convention souvenir I’ll be proud to hang in my third ranch house in the Hamptons… or maybe the Dubai house. Or, instead, maybe I’ll have the inside of Air Force One reupholstered with it… once I’m officially the president, of course.”

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 1:25 pm

[re=68378]ManchuCandidate[/re]: …well those were still better than the idea to replace the toilet tissue paper with 30 grit sandpaper!

MoodProcessor August 25, 2008 at 1:26 pm

But were these wooden keys organically grown and processed locally, by DNC convention standards?

Big Al1317 August 25, 2008 at 1:27 pm

Now for sure I’m not voting, both parties are full of douchebags.

edgydrifter August 25, 2008 at 1:30 pm

[re=68380]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Sorry, they only come in patchouli.

Hemp condoms rule!

villageatrois August 25, 2008 at 1:41 pm

[re=68387]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: “the wooden one could kept as a souvenir.”

Security alert! You could pull off the magnetic strip, stick it on a piece of plastic, and open room doors. The people actually in charge of opening room doors never imagined such a thing….

Oscar Folsom Cleveland August 25, 2008 at 1:44 pm

Yeah, the Healthy Forests Restoration Act, don’t you remember? Passed by Congress, signed by the Great Woodchopper from Crawford. It regulated that trees west of the Mississippi – I hear tell that’s where America’s trees have fled – are to be restored by being made into useful products and made available to American and overseas consumers.

You East coast types will be surprised to see the ingenuity with which wood is now being utilized: shoes, automobiles, headgear, dollar bills (worth 76 cents at last count), natural gas pipelines, rifles, bridges, marital aids, and yes, hotel keys, too.

Gopherit v2.0 August 25, 2008 at 1:57 pm

Hemp condoms: Thatched for her pleasure.

Gopherit v2.0 August 25, 2008 at 2:00 pm

[re=68336]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: No, the THC in the condoms gets your sperm stoned. They stop swimming towards the uterus and look for cheetos and a couch.

TGY August 25, 2008 at 2:07 pm

This is only an intermediate step until they implement DNA recognition, whereupon you’ll have to pee into the lock. Might be tricky for those with poor aim.

shortsshortsshorts August 25, 2008 at 2:09 pm

[re=68467]TGY[/re]: Now that’s sustainability we can count on.

BlackEuro.Observer August 25, 2008 at 2:12 pm

Sarah, do you smoke? That thing might be made out of hemp and hashish. Try holding a lighter under it and sniff the fumes.

WhatTheHeck August 25, 2008 at 2:15 pm

Don’t be too hard on them. At least they are trying to show some ingenuity even though this cut against the grain for most dems.
But true to republican values, the wooden keys were probably made by 9 year-old Chinese kids for 3 cents a piece.

Scooter August 25, 2008 at 2:17 pm

Why not go all the way and insist on room keys made of flint?

Gopherit v2.0 August 25, 2008 at 2:22 pm

[re=68478]WhatTheHeck[/re]: Or out of old growth redwood.

Guppy06 August 25, 2008 at 2:27 pm

[re=68341]StripesAndPlaids[/re]: That would only bring attention to the fact that most GOP candidates couldn’t sport wood without the help of large quantities of pharmaceuticals.

dearest August 25, 2008 at 2:31 pm

If the condom situation is not addressed, they risk to worsen the shortage of Democratic male pols without out-of-the-wedlock kids and prostitution issues.

Obamaton August 25, 2008 at 2:32 pm

I say I say I say . . . My hotel gave me a wooden key for my door!

And what happened?

It wooden work!

Tum-kish!

Cute. However, this just in:

The Denver police haven’t chased away the hookers? Or is Obama’s native Indonesia providing exotic immigrant hookers? I haven’t tried it myself, but others tell me Indo girls have special abilities….
