MoveOn goes too far

This sounds similar to the Net video where you put a friend’s name in & it creates a news story about the grassroots campaign to elect him/her President.

I got the same one. They are trying to scare you into voting. Fighting complacency, which they fear.

I got it yesterday too. I thought it was a little over the top but I saw the humor.

I got that one–the only thing that annoyed me is that you’d think they’d be a little more on the ball and not send those to people in Oregon. We do ALL our voting by mail, so Election Day is whenever we toss it in the mailbin, y’know? We don’t have to take time off, car breaking down ain’t an issue, etc. It just cheesed me, not a lot, but imprecision and lack of insight gives me the pip.

I am, and I did. Of course, I’ve already voted. (Washington has ‘vote by mail’ too))

That IP address has too many bytes. Which means it’s an IP address…OF HELL!!!11! (really loud music sting.)

So, yeah, Lansing seems about right.

I thought it was brilliant and it didn’t even occur to me that anyone could feel threatened by it, it’s so absurdly over the top.

Kipu Lobsang, Goatherder: I can’t believe Charlene would let me down. I am afraid McCain will bomb my goats. He is a crazy man!

What?
Oh.

Could it have gone into your spam filter? I’m a member in Chicago and got it Wednesday. Love it!

The cussing old lady was my favorite! Reminds me of my mom!

That was hilarious! I sent it to my brother and a few friends I knew would appreciate it. :smiley: I particularly liked the graffiti. Actually, I didn’t send it to my dad yet…
Yeah, it lost a bit of punch due to the location, but still.

I wonder what the SDMB response would be if a Republican organisation did a similar thing.

Actually, no I don’t.

A friend of mine at work got it today. It was exceedingly hilarious when the church sign came up and said “ALL GOD"S CHILDREN WELCOME” “except for Jesus”. :smiley:

What I find most disturbing about this whole issue is that you’ve elected to refer to your GF as Charlene Hawtboddy, but you haven’t posted any pics to prove that the pseudonym is accurate. :wink:

For real, I just viewed that email prior to opening this thread.

It’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. The old lady with the arthritic hip was classic.

Seriously. I find the concept disturbing, too. A real guilt trip.

Pubbies did it, it would be as funny as Mallard Fillmore.

I, for one, am shocked.

Yeah, those moderate centrists can be a bit dull, but bless their hearts, they mean well…

Guess the OP wouldn’t find this funny, either. (Its worth a chuckle, IMHO.)

Out of curiosity, tdn, what is your favorite joke?
