ironywatch: vice presidential candidate joe biden
| written by geoffrey on 09/18/08 | 2 comments |
woo! go joe! go joe– zzzzzzz…..
i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.
this year, there’s one vice presidential candidate that’s completely shaking up the race. no, i’m not talking about sarah “interesting” palin. i’m talkin’ about the great gaffer: senator joe biden! man, this guy kicks some serious ass. not only does he keep saying shit to embarass obama, which is a hilarious, but his round-the-clock attacks on the mccain campaign are keeping him directly in the spotlight. yup, just look at the big news sites and on any given day you’re sure to find biden’s name listed, maybe, once.
boy, how useful it must be for obama to have this guy on the ticket, while meanwhile people haven’t shut up about sarah palin for three weeks. mccain’s vp candidate actually gave him momentum, but joey b. is truly the “hot” vice p. so if you’re buying the joe biden action figure, or have a shirt that says, “biden power,” but it’s really just a “palin power” shirt you altered with a permanent marker, then this november you’re voting for irony.

when i was in high school, my english teacher told me watto from The Phantom Menace was an offensive jewish stereotype…
uhm… no offense teach, but if jews had wings, i don’t think the nazi’s could have captured them so easily.

who the fuck was this year’s olympic mascot?!?!?!
| written by john on 09/02/08 | 3 comments |
did the olympics just happen? i mean, i saw something on tv this summer that kind of looked like the olympics… but it couldn’t have because THERE WAS NO FUCKING OLYMPIC MASCOT!!!!!!!!!!!
i don’t know if you guys remember but back when we were kids it seemed like the actual games were secondary to what ever dumb ass character was chosen to represent them. remember back in ‘96 when they picked that izzy guy… he was like this blue thing and… and i guess there’s no other way to really describe him, he really was just this blue thing and i guess his eyes were supposed to be the olympic rings or something.
but whatever, he was slapped on every bit of merchandise imaginable. if alf fucked michelle tanner their baby would be izzy the olympic mascot (and by the way… slash fic idea!). he even had a super nintendo game!
but now there are no olympic mascot video games because i don’t even know who the fucking olympic mascot is. what’s wrong with you chinese government? you’ve enslaved so many children, can’t you put one of them to work designing the ultimate olympic mascot? an olympic mascot that will tower over all the weak willed western mascots? an olympic mascot that will drive a tank right through olypic mascot square crushing the skulls of ronny and roni the racoons, paloma the dove and blaze the colorful pheonix?

hail to the pretend chief: top 10 fictional presidents
| written by daroff on 07/21/08 | 2 comments |
we’ve all sat back and mused about our favorite fictional characters becoming president. what if jack bauer was president, wouldn’t he kick so much ass? or what if those meat heads from predator got into politics? these are characters from all walks of fiction that took on the office with strength of character or sheer strength of fist. this is fiction’s executive branch of awesome, the 10 most kickass presidents of all pretend time.
#10 - president jack ryan (debt of honor, executive orders, the bear and the dragon)
tom clancy made a career out of turning analyst jack ryan into the world’s biggest bad ass. somehow, having taken down the russians, the i.r.a., and the drug cartels, clancy had nothing left to do but make jack president. remember how bad ass harrison ford was in patriot games and clear and present danger or how much smarter than everyone else alec baldwin was in the hunt for red october. had it not been for the affleck connection, jack ryan could have been number 1.
#9 - president charles logan (24, season 5)
one of the most exciting moments i have ever had watching tv was in season 5 of 24 when it’s revealed that the president, this bumbly, mumbly lump of a man, was behind the terrorist attacks. he wasn’t your average supervillain, though. he didn’t have some master plan. it was like he was playing bad guy just like he was playing being president. that just made him even more bad ass.
