Barack Obama Releases Ad With Words And Thoughts In It

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

The Democratic presidential candidate constantly condescends to Ordinary Americans by saying, “you’re smarter than Washington gives you credit for,” and “I have great faith in the intelligence of the American people,” and by asking voters to “read” and “think about” things. OH SNOOZE. Well, here is his latest bit of elitist propaganda: two minutes talking into a camera about how everybody’s poor but he has a Plan to fix it. This ad would have improved by at least 50 percent if he had worn a bear suit, talked to a parrot, or been “disrespectful” to whatserface, the one with the snow shoes.

John McCain Buried In Pile Of Angry ‘View’ Hosts

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Everything he says is garbage.What is the world coming to when the ladies on The View ask John McCain the toughest questions he’s gotten in weeks? And yet even these hardened journalists don’t follow up on one of his most infuriating talking points of this whole infuriating campaign, which is that he had to start running ads that were complete utter laughable bullshit lies because Obama didn’t want to debate him as often as McCain would have liked. This is akin to saying, “I was forced to smother your house in a truckload of diarrhea because you wouldn’t answer my phone calls.” Anyhow, here he is, squirming despicably. [Huffington Post]

Bobblehead Pope Ad Offends Humorless Catholics

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

SO OFFENSIVEThe DC Metro ran this ad on a bobbleheaded Pope riding the Metro to a big crazy Papal Mass at Nationals Stadium, and the Washington Archdiocese was like, Hey that is not funny, you are talking about the leader of our religion there, and he would never advise riding the DC Metro, furthermore he is not wearing the right Pope-hat.

WaPo.com: Fuck You, You Love the Redesign

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

YOU LOVE IT, ADMIT IT - WonketteOh hey, do you read the Washington Post on the internets? If you do, you may have noticed that they quietly rolled out a new design last week — and if the 11 million responses to their announcement on the blog are any indication, it’s a hit!

I suppose the objective was to make the paper itself as difficult as possible for the filthy liberals to read, and comment on all the lies and propaganda you publish.

Posted by: newspaperman506 | April 1, 2007 12:36 PM

That’s one randomly selected comment, and the rest of them are in almost complete agreement that everything about the new homepage is a terrible travesty on par with the massacre of the Indians and Shakespeare in Love’s Oscar.

It turns out readers don’t like pointless click-thrus, more white space, and making more room for millions of ads (oh hi, Denton).

More reader responses, after the jump.

  • “You: Girl with ridiculously short white skirt sitting on top of another guy having sex in the corner of the front room.” The front room of Rumors last night. [Craigslist]
  • George Allen “once put a severed deer’s head in somebody’s mailbox. Admittedly, it’s not quite as bad as the scene in The Godfather….” The Godfather is fictional. [T&A]
  • Virgin, straight-edge Trekkie just needs a little more coaxing and she’ll “give it up.” [Golden Silence]
  • WSC and Blue Cross sell with blow jobs. It makes sense — join a gym, get more blowjobs. You see where this is going. [Sarcastic and Cynical]
  • I know, right? People who haven’t been on the news are so provincial. [K Street Blues]
