Eerie Simulacrum of Tragic American Hero Flying Delta Shuttle Today

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

In a century or so, you'll be a Real Doll - WonketteThis is just creepy and wrong and weird — we got a press release earlier this morning advising us that “PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON D.C.” today. It’s from Madame Tussauds, whose Chinatown by-way-of-Coney Island (but somehow… not awesome?) wax museum is opening soon. And yes, Abe’s hideous life mask attached to a 7 ft tall mannequin is on the Delta Shuttle to National right now. He gets in at 11:45. They bought him a ticket and they’re posing him on the goddamn seat. Maybe they can bring JFK’s doppelganger in on the Acela. The quiet car, natch. Press release, after the jump! Still time to make it to the National to see the whole gross spectacle, guys!

So bring on the crazy challenges! MORE »


All of Don Imus’ Problems Solved

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Do it for Don - WonketteThanks, as always, to porn. A press release headlined “‘Nappy Headed Ho’s’ Movie May Fund Imus Retirement” found its way to our inbox today. It’s a heartwarming offer from some California porn producers to give $1 from each DVD sold of an upcoming release to Don Imus.

Nappy Headed Ho’s stars girls with closely twisted or curled hair (the dictionary definition of “nappy”), who have sex for money (the dictionary definition of “ho”).

That’s the kind of truth in advertising we just can’t get from the rest of the so-called mainstream media.

If Imus refuses to accept the money, the good people at Kick Ass Pictures have decided to donate it to the United Negro College Fund.

Full release after the jump.

Bush Impeached! (In This One Guy’s Mind)

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Justice at last! George W. Bush is about to be impeached and arrested, or vice versa — for trying to murder some guy at Boeing, or something.

Obviously, due to Supreme Court case 05-140, Nancy Pelosi has to order the Police to immediately seize the president and put him on trial.

The case was apparently thrown out last month. That’s probably what “The motions for leave to file petitions for rehearing are denied” means, right? But we’re as anxious to see Bush convicted of murder as any patriotic American, so we’ll show you the whole press release, after the jump.
