The Presidential Picks

Heard a funny story on NPR the other day. Like ta hear it? Here it go....

The two presidential candidates were asked to give their top ten songs. Kind of some odd picks in there. John McCain's number one is especially ridiculous:

John McCain's Top Ten

1. 'Dancing Queen' ABBA

2. 'Blue Bayou' Roy Orbison

3. 'Take a Chance On Me' ABBA

4. 'If We Make It Through December' Merle Haggard

5. 'As Time Goes By' Dooley Wilson

6. 'Good Vibrations' The Beach Boys

7. 'What A Wonderful World' Louis Armstrong

8. 'I've Got You Under My Skin' Frank Sinatra

9. 'Sweet Caroline' Neil Diamond

10. 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' The Platters

Barack Obama's Top Ten

1. 'Ready or Not' Fugees

2. 'What's Going On' Marvin Gaye

3. 'I'm On Fire' Bruce Springsteen

4. 'Gimme Shelter' Rolling Stones

5. 'Sinnerman' Nina Simone

6. 'Touch the Sky' Kanye West

7. 'You'd Be So Easy to Love' Frank Sinatra

8. 'Think' Aretha Franklin

9. 'City of Blinding Lights' U2

10. 'Yes We Can' Will.i.am

I'm not mad at ABBA by any means, but number one? Jeez, Louise, bro. Looks like someone forgot to grow a pair.

Actually, I don't really get Obama's number one, either. I mean, it's not as lame as McCain's, but almost like he was trying too hard.

In equally idiotic news, some idiot decided it would be a good idea to make a Barack Obama action figure. Don't fucking ask me.

Why do we have to have an action figure for ever prominent figure in American society? It's stupid. Save the petroleum it takes to make this pointless piece of plastic (that will probably be worth $3,000 in 20 years) and fill up your Escalade with it instead. All the full grown men that still collect toys should really reevaluate their lives.

My suggestion to curb this childish behaviour is for all the ladies out there: if you go over to a guy's house and he has action figures hanging on his wall, don't fuck him, and tell him why you aren't going to fuck him. He will quickly mend his foolish ways, and we will all be saved the pain of seeing our political figures being mocked by being modeled into a Curious George looking toy.

Another point against the mental retards that made this toy is that they are charging $15 for it, and only giving $1 to Obama's campaign for every toy sold on the internet. Weak.
