Stalker Friend network MySpace and trash-reality HQ MTV have joined forces to promote…politics?

Yes: the two main sources of mankind’s decline will be coordinating open-forum debates with the top-tier Presidential candidates on college campuses around the country starting in September.

Candidates confirmed for these nationwide events include Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback and John Edwards.

Whether Tom will run for President has yet to be confirmed or denied. Al Gore, inventor of the internet, has yet to chime in with his thoughts.

The candidates are hoping that working with youth-orientated websites will bridge the gap between level-headed youth (voters) and those goddamn slackers (non-voters) in time for the Presidential Election next year. Smart move, considering more people vote on American Idol than for the Presidency.
