When white people get angry/sad/want to exchange pictures of cats, they almost always create “groups” on the Internet, because that’s how you show that you care about the issues (“1,000,000 Facebook Users For More Fruit in Our Yoplait Go-Gurt,” et cetera). So when current DC Mayor and champion of white-people causes “Adrian Fenty” lost the Democratic mayoral primary to Vincent Gray, a random black person, you can imagine what happened! Yes, white people made a Facebook group asking, “Wouldn’t you like more fruit in your Yoplait Go-Gurt? There is simply not enough fruit in this Go-Gurt.”
But what also happened is that white people made a different Facebook group called Run Fenty Run — which is also the name of a famous German movie about a lady who does things over and over again. So what is this group all about?
Would you vote for Adrian Fenty as a write-in candidate in November?
If so, click “like”, and let’s see what support we can muster… (note: this is a grassroots effort, not connected with Fenty)
Oh, all the “young professionals” from Columbia Heights are going to start a grassroots movement on the Internet to re-elect Adrian Fenty, because Adrian Fenty keeps the streets safe for their skinny jeans. What’s next? Does Adrian Fenty get to keep his seat on the fancy Senate Energy Committee, now that all the white people want him to be a sore loser, like Lisa Murkowski? Hold on we are making a Facebook Group right now called “Let Adrian Fenty Keep His Senate Energy Committee Seat. Also: My Go-Gurt Needs More Fruit.” Please “like” it? [Facebook]

I'm still holding out for Fenty's entry on stuffwhitepeoplelike.com
White people AND all his frat brothers.
There's also a twitter and a Yahoo Group. And here I was thinking no one besides gay guys trading pics used Yahoo Groups.
I have to admit that I just assumed Fenty was gay until just about election day of his first campaign when I saw of photo of him with his wife. I'm not sure why I assumed that, I just did.
Wait, he's not gay? I had assumed he was until right now.
Is Fenty going to give all his supporters free skybox tickets?

Gawd, the distortion on that video grates my fuckin brain. Anybody got any footage of those Hopey-Fenty dance-offs they have late on a Saturday night in the VIP room at the White House?
Please, white liberal people, you do not want to join the ranks of semi-moderate Republicans and Joe Lieberman; the "I want a do-over" after losing an election is for whiny douchebags.

Just go for the fall back snark of "poopyhead." No matter the story, it fits.
My legal team will be in touch regarding this blatant copyright violation. Next thing you know, you'll be usurping the Palin Hookworm Conjecture. Slippery slope, folks, slippery slope.
You'd have a bit more of a legal leg to stand on if you would put that little © thingie afterwards.
I thought that little @ thingie was already copyrighted!?
It's not copyright if it's an homage, sir. It's a compliment!
Wonket is just jealous of Go-Gurt's massively huge and throbbing facebook fanbase.
Unless a Fenty is an alien. Has anyone noticed this steady drumbeat of extraterrestrial news lately? A few months ago, the Vatican again reiterated that it has no problem with aliens on other worlds, they'd have their own alien jesus's, everything would be copacetic, even if we did just happen to meet some aliens, no threat to our Catholic beliefs, no sirree. Than, a few weeks ago, some science group of science-y people issues a "prediction," that we are gonna make contact with ETs in the spring of 2011, based on what the fuck-all I don't know, you get cancer they can't predict when you gonna die, how the fuck do you predict contacting aliens? Then last week, the UN creates an alien-welcoming committee, to arrange a reception for visiting aliens. Then yesterday, hey-now, its announced we discover the very first apparently habitable earth-like planet, and its only 20 light years away, holy shit, they even determined its got an atmosphere and an average temperature that we could stand, a bit chilly, though. TBC
Message to our New Alien Overlords: Those Americans registered as "Republicans" are especially plump and delicious. Please take them as our Peace Offering!
Yes…they are certainly "well marbled". Plus, I believe our NAOs already have the cook book.
And salty! They're really really salty! And who doesn't like salt?
The Gray that lives next door to me have a fabulous recipe for broiled bagger. The secret is spicy dorito chips slipped just under the surface of the skin. This gives the skin a double crunch and a kick of spice.
Back in the day, some good advice was given at Woodstock: stay away from the brown acid.
Hey, life is meaningless and futile, I gotta get my jollies somehow, an active fantasy life is fun, and sometimes, it doesn't involve teenaged twins and Anna Nicole and farm animals. Though I suppose the only real reason the prospect of contact with ETs is exciting to me really is because of the possibility of hysteria-induced mass public orgies.
Oh, the discovery of aliens would be very exciting; but actually finding life as we know it anytime soon is very unlikely. It's cool that we can now find earthlike extrasolar planets, but we still have no way to detect their chemical composition so all we can figure out is if their location makes life likely.
Even intelligent life, we can only detect if they've developed technology to beam radio waves, and could only separate a signal from background radiation if it's within about 30 light years, unless it was directed at us. So actual detection will probably take much better technology than we have today.
Still, it would be great if it actually happened. Seeing the reaction of the fundies and Catholics would be especially fun; though I'm sure some would immediately decide our priority should be teaching Alf about Jesus.
Stop with the "logic" and "facts" and so-called "science," for God's sake, and just let yourself fall into feeling it, come on, its fun, just think, "if the government did have evidence, if they had detected radio signals, or even a visiting advanced race, what would they do, hmm, complete openness and transparency, or, incredible secrecy and carefully thought-out manipulation of public attitude?" Then just go with it. Buy the heavy duty tinfoil, and Reynolds is actually better than the cheapo store brand.
how the fuck do you predict contacting aliens?
It helps if you know they've already booked their rooms at the Marriot.
It helps even more if you send an embargoed press release announcing their arrival. Just don't send it to Wonkette, they can't keep a secret to save their lives.
You utterly win, DB. If I could give you a million Pee's I would.
The planet doesn't rotate, so it's way hot on one side and way cold on the other. The inhabitable area is the dusk/dawn line, which they are calling "the Gray Zone." Coincidence?
Ok, on this alien news, seeing all the above, I put my tinfoil cap on, so the TIA scanners can't read my brainwaves, and I thinks to myself, shit, it already happened, we are in contact with aliens, and this drip-drip-drip of information is a planned slow roll-out, a psy-op strategy designed to prepare the public mentally, in order to reduce the hysteria, rioting and mass sex orgies (like the big gay sex pile in South Park, but hetero, thats what I am betting on) that would otherwise result from a too-sudden announcement of little green men in the house.
Thoughts?
No snark here – been sort of thinking the same thing. However, any civilization that could actually travel here would be so advance that they would probably see us the way we see a nest of ants.
The alternative is that we find a planet of slime creatures – or someone at the same level of development, in which we can start trading 20 year old television shows in about 20 years. In other words – it would be like discovering another WTBS in our galaxy.
I call bullshit on all this. We have yet to invent the warp drive.
No sexy alien babes in skintight bodysuits for you.
But I want my hysteria-induced mass public orgies, dammit, like in On the Beach. We don't need the warp drive, its the aliens need the warp drive, the discovery of this earthlike planet so amazingly close (20 light years) is amazingly significant in what it may indicate about the prevalence of such planets. Remember, there are 100 billion stars in this galaxy, the percentage of them with a habitable planet determines the odds of life, and advanced life existing, then coming here as god-like, benevolent protectors who will nurture us and save us from ourselves.
Sorry, a week late, but this almost sounds like a Joe Frank monologue. Now segue into the part about meeting up with the old girlfriend on the rainy night in the neighborhood bar, speaking to the rhythm of soft electronic beats in the background.
For what it is worth my Twitter feed which is full of polls, pollsters and polling news indicate that he or his allies may be polling about a write-in campaign. http://www.themonkeycage.org/2010/09/adrian_fenty...
Look, Muffy, a candidate for us.
I've told you before, Trent, do not pester me when I'm on my yoga mat.
And what is Fenty going to do about our yogurt? I know he likes fruit, but I've heard Gray has a proposal to build better yogurt tubes. And isn't that the real problem with yogurt today? Insufficient tubing.
What would the ghost of Ted Stevens think?
what marketing genius approved 'go-gurt'? i mean seriously.
After his second term, Hopey's going to shave his head. He, Fenty and Cory Booker will form a performance art troupe called Black Man Group. Their shows will end with a disorienting blizzard of Starbucks coupons.
Oh no. Barry can't do bald. I'll start a FB group to make sure that doesn't happen.
"1,000,000 women who like Obama's hair"
The real question involves the color of Fenty's pee score.
I really think Fenty would've beaten Vincent Gray if he would've more clearly laid out his plans to gentrify the District.
Yeah, the guy that copyrighted that hit the jackpot, as soon as they invented email.
