Best of the Internet: US Election 2008 Edition

We're having an ELECTION NIGHT PARTY on ELECTION NIGHT and I'd like to put all sorts of crazy ELECTION-RELATED crap on the walls. Can you help me gather up all of the best images, cartoons, graphs, lolcats, whatever that the internet has made to comment upon/satirize/talk about/distract from this endless ELECTION SEASON?

lol I'd never seen the gmail one before.

i wish the fucking bikini picture would drop off the face of the earth.

Aw, c'mon. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to photoshop something halfway decently.

Yeah, I thought that was real for at least 3 days.

Yeah, well, when it's your photo of your friend getting 'shopped, however well, you may be more ambivalent!

She should be honored!

(sigh) - Not really interested in fighting it out in this space, but suffice to say at this point neither of us feel honored so much as tired.

ha You took that photo? Yeah, I guess that would change your appreciation of it a bit.

Oh, internets.

I'm not trying to be a dick, Dr. C, just saying that being part of the zeitgeist could be at least a funny anecdote.

is the palin gun photo still causing you strife dr. c?

OBAMAS CLINTONS CRUISIN DOT GIF (can't find it on the nets :( )

xpost No, no, I'm not trying to be a pill about it either, I recognize the cocktail-party conversation value of this - it's just weird is all. I don't mean to be the "it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye" guy - by all means carry on thread!

For anyone who hasn't caught it, though, full story here - featuring hopelessly lengthy rambling from yours truly!

OMG, it's a Crossman 760, isn't it?

man; presumably you could've made a pretty penny off this (tho I expect you don't want to, lest it get really out of hand)

Definitely do not want to. Mainly want other people to stop doing so...

^^yup, can see how that wd be a horrible problem : //

It's all about Michelle in that one

Everything about it is the most perfect animated gif ever.

Wow, Casino. Good rantin' on your flickr page. My sympathies.

Yeah, just finished reading the whole comment thread. I wouldn't be half as level-headed as you are were I in the same situation.

I know the meme's been played out for a long time, but the editing on this is pretty amazing:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-A6KWqNUA10&hl=en&fs=1";></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-A6KWqNUA10&hl=en&fs=1"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Well, fuck. It's this:

omg Palin on a dinosaur

Dressed as Sheena, no less. Like Jimmy said. Advanced.

Or maybe she's a Flintstone, whatever.

Jesus on a Luck Dragon is nice, too.

What exactly is Darth Vader doing in that pic? Pouring something from a can to a bottle?

vs. Robocop on a unicorn

United States-born Daniel Bozhkov may be described as a relational artist, interacting with members of the public who are specialists in different fields. In Darth Vader Tries to Clean the Black Sea with Brita Filter (2000), Bozhkov posed as the Star Wars anti-hero in a noble but impractical ecological intervention. In Befriending the Bacteria (2001–2002), Bozhkov produced yogurt out of bacteria modified with his own DNA and packaged it in marketable containers. He enters worlds of genetic science, department mega-stores, world-famous tourist-sites, as an intruder/visitor who also functions as a producer of new strains of meaning.

THIS MCCAIN/FLYING DAWKINS MASHUP IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE

The "can" is a Britta water filter.

The "can" is a Britta water filter.

Just for giggles, or is that an established meme?

Who hasn't heard/seen the well-established "Darth Vader pours water from a Brita" meme? noob

Darth Vader pours water from a Brita

Kevin Smith's next film?

I had seen the pic a lot, but honestly, jw just explained its context to me this morning.

That sports news video is gold. Her eyes look sort of disturbingly... crossed. Like she's been hit on the head with a snowshoe.

They're called snow ma-shoes, Tracer.

Because its a snow ma-shoe

Is the eskimo for real?

you mean 'on the level'

(long drag on cigarette, vacant stare across motel parking lot)

The "can" is a Britta water filter.

I still don't get what's the joke there...?

^^^^ Amazing.

OMG palin talking about Basil McCrae!!!!!

http://www.thomasfuchs.com/site/digital/gop100.jpg

wtf E.T.????

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=palin

1. An applicant lacking even basic job skills

2. Someone supremely un-self-aware or lacking any relative sense of what he/she does or doesn't know.

"HR sent me another Palin for the marketing manager job."

"My new boss is such a Palin - he took my deserved place because the CEO is his personal friend."

Q: Yo did you see what that girl was wearing last night at the club?
A: You mean that topless one with footie pajamas? That shit was too Palin for my tastes.

6. To lie pointlessly and repeatedly. Also: to knowingly claim you were on the side of the issue you weren't.

"I said, 'Thanks but no thanks,' to Congress for the Bridge to Nowhere," Gov. Palin palined.

President Pryor
