MSNBC, Ludacris, Obama & "What the heck?"

So I'm sure you heard about the Ludacris song that says some bad stuff about Hillary and McCain. So MSNBC runs the story...but without the content. They edit out anything that has to do with the real issues! They make it seem like they just edited out some bad words...when in reality they took out the really offensive things.

Here's ALL the lyrics:
I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
Yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
Never should have hated
You never should've doubted him
With a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em

Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that b**** is irrelevant

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
If you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man

You can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your a**, black people, it's time to get out and vote!

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw 'em like candy wrap
'cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents

Get out and vote or the end will be near
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
'cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!


Nuff said.

The Missing Logos/People Groups


On Obama's website there are many people groups listed that support Obama and he supports as well. Each people group has an image or logo that highlights that specific demographic. There are, however, some people groups that make up his "base" that are left out. I thought I'd start a series of logos to help him show his support for these people as well. (I wouldn't want him to leave them out!) Logo #1. Abortionists for Obama

Obama/Hasselhoff



Boy...those Germans know how to pick 'em. Obama and David Hasselhoff...both Geman Rock-Stars! 

"The One that brings light..."

Nice sarcasm. Someone is seeing through the hype.

Iraqis agree with Obama!

The Obama cheerleaders (The Press) are spinning Obama's 16 month troop
withdrawal (which is still a bad idea, but one the Iraqi PM agrees
with) like it was the right idea from the beginning. What they fail
to point out is that any troop withdrawal would not be possible
without "the surge" which he said wouldn't work. It's a Forest Gump-
ish situation. How ridiculous!

Brian McLaren

I was wrong. I'm sorry to say that Brian McLaren is more liberal than I though he was. Not just politically, but liberal in his christian doctrine understanding. "A New Kind Of Christian" was a really good book though.

Democrats Preaching Oil Drilling Abstinence!

Yes, those silly environmental fundamentalists are trying to tell us how to use our natural resources! I have one thing to say to that "Get your hands off of MY OIL!" That's nice if you think that it's morally wrong to drill for oil in Virgin environments, but don't tell me I CAN'T! That's fine if you don't want to. 

Don't you know that we have better protection now against oil spillage? Maybe we need some government programs in our schools to help us learn about our oil. We'll call it "Oil Education!"

Indies on the Obamamania BANDwagon.

I'm starting the Official definitive list of indie-rock "Free-Thinking" bands who are now shamelessly strengthening Indie stereotypes and are gleefully jumping onto the Obama "Band" Wagon. (...Get-it...? BANDwagon...indie..BANDs....well, I thought that was funny.) It kind of makes me think that I'm not right...I'm messed up. I mean, I like all the music these guys create, and am moved by many a lyric that they have penned, but yet find myself in the unfortunate indie-minority on this one. Maybe I should just go along with the crowd. Maybe I would be liked more, or praised for my good taste. Even Pitchfork Media is hinting (not so subtly) that I should like Obama and if I don't...well...you know....

The Official Obama Band Wagon
Low, Josh Grier and Jeremy Hansen of Tapes 'n Tapes, Dosh, STNNNG, Kill the Vultures, Skoal Kodiak, and P.O.S., plus DJs from Burlesque Design, Rhymesayers, Decemberists, (ok...so maybe the is the Official Obama Band Wagon list of bands that I've come across in news stories...I'm not gonna search the internet for every bands, but I can safely say that at least 98% of indie rock bands are drinking the Obama-Aid)

Yes We Can! (No You Can't)


Just a quick graphic message reversal. An Obama sign turned bad. An evil twin of the "Yes We Can" sign.

Slow.

News is pretty slow right now, so I haven't had much to complain about lately. I will, however, post a link to my Cafe Press page where you can get my Official "NO!" sticker. (I had to change the Obama logo a bit so I could sell it online)

Say NO! to Big Corn!

Be on the lookout for a poster on this subject. Meanwhile, read this old NYT piece

Monday, July 7, 2008

Wait!

It now seems as if Obama, now the nominee, is "refining" all of his
policies. He's looking a little bit more conservative. FISA, guns,
abortion, even Iraq! Where's the mad liberals though? Anyone believe
him?

This one goes out to the ones I love.

This post is about rainbows. It's about a muppet song that has been ruined. It's about Obama's sneaky words and hidden sections of his website. This post if for all my Christian brothers and sisters who have been snookered into Obamadom. If you peruse through the "People" section of his website, you will come across something called "LGBT". You will find a speech as well as a shiny Obama "O" logo with a rainbow at the bottom. The speech you will read doesn't say much, and you can hardly find anything to disagree with (other than him equating LGBT rights, with civil rights...which should make a few minorities really mad). So the question is left "What does he really think about this subject?" You can't really tell, other than suggesting that ONLY the democratic party wants to abolish hate crimes...and that's ridiculous. 

My 2 cents: If you wanna live that lifestyle...fine. If you wanna have the same Legal/Financial rights as reproducing couples...great. If you wanna be my friend...awesome. If you want me to treat you the same as everyone else...totally fine. But please don't ask me to endorse your lifestyle.

Obey Wright Poster



Here's a new poster of the Rev Wright. I think it works great with "Hope" at the bottom. I wonder if some of the Obama masses would even notice this as a sarcastic statement.

I've already been able to pass the "Obama Obey" design off as a semi-official poster. It's been posted to at least one "Obama Poster Archive". I guess no one notices the less-than-positive light it shines on Obamamania with the addition of the "Obey" moniker.

As always, you can download a pdf of the poster.

Obey Obama



If I were the people running the Obama machine, I'd be a little hesitant to work closely with Shepard Fairey. Not that he's scary or anything, but he is known mainly for his "Obey" meaningless marketing movement. When you think about it, it really mirrors Obamamania. He's everywhere, his image is everywhere, eerily similar to the "Obey" campaign. Has Shepard unknowingly become a victim of the very over-branding-excess-hype machine that triggered his initial "Andre The Giant" series? Also, it won't be long before conservatives, ignorant of Shepard's work, see the posters of Stalin and Mao and draw parallels to Obama. Please everyone slow-down. Don't you think Obama is being idolized a little too much? Honestly. Even if He's elected, do you really think he's gonna solve all your problems? I'm also calling on designers to cool it a bit with all the iconic imagery. Seriously take a look at Communist propaganda posters and let them inform and warn against too much "leader-worship". I posted a mashup of an Obama "Obey" poster I made. You can download a pdf.

Where are the cynics?

Is everyone drinking the Obama Kool-Aid? Where are the progressive cynics who don't believe that anything will change if O is elected? Where are the people critical of his record? What has he done that makes people so infatuated with the idea of electing him? I can list great speakers all day long, and a few of them have done the world great harm. Where are the humanists that despise his faith in a supreme being? Where are the tolerance police, being critical of his close (20 year) ties with a preacher that bubbles with intolerance? Where are the postmodernists who don't trust what anyone says....especially politicians. Where are you? I'm waiting.
