OK, it turns out it wasn’t quite that simple. [He auctioned off his face for tattooing, and some Republican buyer apparently won.](http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/man-gets-romney-r-tattooed-on-his-face-for-15000/) ---

And yeah, there is that element of nutjobbery. A friend of mine sounds like he’s going to pop a blood vessel the way he keeps posting on facebook. He seriously seems to believe America is going communist. (MY only issue with this site is the hotlinking images. Not cool, dude, not cool.) As for the tattoo guy, it couldn’t be any worse than the woman who got the website address of a casino tattooed on her forehead to pay for her son’s tuition. For _one year_. :rolleyes: ---

What made the faked picture extra hilarious was the way Obama seemed to be doing the classic Jack Benny pose. “…Well!” Yep, old enough to remember those. ---

Should I change my statement to, “Decisions, decisions: She’s hot, but Mormon?” 'Cuz I’m not seeing the difference. 😉 ETA: On reflection I see my logical error. You can put it in the crazy, but you can’t put it in the Mormon. 😃 ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > I feel kind of bad [for this kid](http://whitepeoplemourningromney.tumblr.com/image/35238043978). Not that Romney lost, but that he looks to be about 11-12 years old and has been dragged deeply enough into our mess of American politics that it drives him to tears when “his guy” loses. > > Go play some Xbox, kid. Or baseball. Or discover that about 50% of your classmates are growing boobs. I think the issue is that he’s next to Dan Savage. Thus, very unlikely to be interested in boobs. Also, [this photo](http://whitepeoplemourningromney.tumblr.com/image/35223536334)’s inclusion is ridiculous. Such poise, such vigour. She’s clearly not mourning Romney, she just alighted on a poor vintage of Beaujolais. Anyone doubting my credentials as a True Conservative would do well to check my Signature. ---

> [@lisiate](#): > > Damn I knew it was too good to be true, good bit of manipulation by whoever made it. Seriously? You thought that a) Romney would be watching the returns while in his campaign bus (alone, with a photographer), b) the networks would use that photo of Obama to announce the winner and c) they’d use the Obama campaign’s “O” in the “2012”? ---

Well I was sceptical but I did hope it were true. Why wouldn’t there be photographer on the bus? And as a non-American I’ve no idea what graphics your networks use and that the 2012 Obama logo is any different from the one he used in 2008. ---

I hate that I’m blocked from most of these images at work, so I’m subscribing to view later. The ones I can see are a cross between hilarious and pitiful. No, wait, they’re simultaneously hilarious and pitiful.
