When it comes to social commentary, South Park takes the proverbial cake, constantly cutting through the bullsh*t to get to the nut of the matter with hilarious vulgarity and awesome story-lines. But anyone who watched last Wednesday’s South Park election episode, “About Last Night” was crapping their pants in amazement at the timeliness of the show, which included the results of Tuesday’s election, lines from both John McCain and Barack Obama’s speeches from less than 24-hours before and the explosive celebration of Obamaniacs after his big win that perfectly matched their real-life drunken euphoria.

Immediately, we started asking, how the hell did they do it? Did they make two episodes, one for an Obama victory, one for McCain? Did they have some inside info only available to elite cartoonists? Did they just bank on the polls being right and go for broke? Fortunately, IGN TV was able to get co-creator Matt Stone on the line for an answer.  Read more

As Texas Tech Passes Texas in Polls, Harrell Passes McCoy

One play could determine who walks up to the podium to accept the Heisman Trophy in New York City on Dec. 13. Graham Harrell’s 28-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree against Texas with one second remaining not only put both Texas Tech stars in the thick of the race, but it also prevented Texas quarterback Colt McCoy from holding onto his spot as the Heisman clubhouse leader.

Much football remains, but that pass (possibly college football’s play of the year) has made the race for the stiff armed statuette more interesting. [SI]

Ladies and gentlemen, ’Yes we can’ just became ‘Yes we did’! In the most historic election in generations and one of the most significant in the history of the Western world, Sen. Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States. Wow. Just…wow.

I don’t get it.

Having proven that the State of Florida cannot handle relatively simple tasks, as was the case in the last Presidential Election, Florida’s Broward and Miami-Dade counties have announced that they will buck the state’s recommendations for handling voters flagged by the controversial Florida Voter Verification Law. I am not exactly sure who they think this will benefit, but it is ultimately bad for America.

When the election of the President of the United State becomes a political game and a pawn for either party, we have taken a serious step backwards in the upholding of our most cherished freedom. Whether you choose to “Vote or Die” or whatever dumb-sh*t anthem Hollywood will be chanting next week, the problem is real.

How can one state’s political system decide to jeapardize the voice of the whole country? Not that it will, but given the electoral college’s power, a screw-up in Florida could mean the difference between who controls one of the most influential countries in the world. These are the same people who screwed up the “butterfly ballot” and most of which have no idea how to work their TiVos. My grandmother lives in Florida and calls me every week when House is on so that she can record it and watch it the next day - so she can fast-forward through the commercials.

Oh yeah - these people are going to screw it up again…just watch!

So after weeks of jokes directed at John McCain, the Senator finally made it to the Late Show with David Letterman. And apparently McCain thinks he “screwed up.” But you didn’t need him to make the trip all the way to New York (via helicopter, BTW) to tell you that.

This picture from Wednesday’s Presidential debate at Hofstra University is already so perfect that I’m afraid I’m going to say something to f**k it up. So let’s just let this one speak for itself.

UPDATE: This is what “scissoring” is, for the two of you who don’t already know….

The last debate of the 2008 Presidential election is over, and we’re headed into the homestretch of this long and arduous political process. Both candidates had their moments to shine tonight, and Joe Plumber is suddenly a national celebrity.

But the real winners of tonight is you, because we made the trek to Hofstra University, and caught all of New York’s hottest voters out to support their candidate. So get ready to see the sexier side of the debate - this year, politics is HOT!

First, John McCain blew-off David Letterman to “deal with the financial crisis in Washington.” Then he got reamed with jabs every time Letterman opened his mouth for the next few nights - and everywhere online. But now McCain’s reportedly going to make good on his rain check and walk into the the Late Show lion’s den, appearing on the show this Thursday night, the day after the last Presidential debate at Hofstra University. Of course that probably means he’s going to get ripped to shreds. Read More »

I don’t know what the SNL folks are smokin’ over at 30 Rockefeller Plaza these days, but I’ve gotsta get me some of that.  For the first time in years, Saturday Night Live is both funny and relevant again.  Sure, it doesn’t hurt that the world is rapidly swallowing itself and the current political arena is chock full o’ highly mockable characters, but it’s the solid writing talent that has resurrected this once American pop culture icon back from the dead.

Case in Point: last night’s Thursday Weekend Update.  The prime time special opened with a spot-on lampoon of Tuesday night’s tediously boring-ass debate, but the real stand-out was the verbal stoning of AIG in Really?! with Seth and Amy and OMG Are You Serious?.

Holy hell…Regardless of whether you’re Democrat, Republican, Independent or just lazy, the fact that the fate of the United States is partially being decided by this intellectual powerhouse should be a sobering and disturbing realization. Not that she shouldn’t have the right to vote, but I’m surprised this woman can even dress herself let alone make a good decision.
