The Alternate Palin Bio Vid
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Y'all can accuse me of having my ox gored on this one because I found it very unfunny. If you want to, all y'all can just say that's the hunter in me talking.
Politically, we get an intellgent, savvy woman aboard vying for the VP slot, and what do we get? Faked bikini/rifle shots. Faked bios. AARGH! People who, if they thought for 60 or 120 seconds about her stance on the issues, would never vote for her in a million years, are gonna vote for her because of stuff like this.

It's even worse. That's not even a fake bikini/rifle pic. It's a fake bikini/pellet gun pic.SportsFan68 wrote:Y'all can accuse me of having my ox gored on this one because I found it very unfunny. If you want to, all y'all can just say that's the hunter in me talking.

I hope no one actually was compensated for the writing. No creativity at all. It looked like a SNL skit post Chase, Belushi, Akroyd, Curtin, Radner... You remember those?
My son's YMCA Guides group thought up an as funny skit this past weekend. And even though I'm the father of one of the 8-year olds, I and the other dads all agreed.... it sucked.
To those who thought it hillarious....why? What is it about it that is the least bit funny?

It was a completely over the top, again, National Lampoonish (remember the frog on the wagon and all that) spoof on stupid stuff.
As if anyone, with 1/4 of a brain, anywhere, would base a vote upon a YouTube of Jimmy Kimmel, or a fake bikini YouTube or anything else.
Who votes based on ads or YouTubes or flyers or anything of that sort?
It was just funny. One cannot quantify nor qualify what is funny from one person to the next.
I think we ALL need to lighten the frick up.
Well, then

Oh, I don't think it unfunny because of the political nature and that I think it may have any impact on the election (though I do think it very disrespectful and hope I would say the same for anything similar about Obama or Biden and think the trend is unhealthy for our political system), but I find it about as funny as a skit with two fat guys, one saying 'Pull my finger' and the other doing so then asking 'Was that a frog?"

I'll try again. This may be a duplicate post. The video was a juvenile National Lampoonish sort of thing which is not everyone's cup'a tea. I've received emails from Democrats, supposedly thinking to ingratiate themselves or something, about the Democratic candidate, that I've deleted from my email because they were egregiously, heinously offensive. Someone thought they were funny. And I'm grossed out that they think I'd enjoy them, or that their Democratic friends would. And yes, I know they don't like Bush, nor do they like McCain.BackInTex wrote:Oh, I don't think it unfunny because of the political nature and that I think it may have any impact on the election (though I do think it very disrespectful and hope I would say the same for anything similar about Obama or Biden and think the trend is unhealthy for our political system), but I find it about as funny as a skit with two fat guys, one saying 'Pull my finger' and the other doing so then asking 'Was that a frog?"

This video comes nowhere close. And, once again, if anyone would remotely be influenced by these sorts of videos to vote a particular way, then they're retarded. And I mean that.

I found this one disrespectful and not funny. Sometimes disrespect is funny and I laugh. This one was not.
Your mileage may vary.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
