Barack Obama, as quoted in the Washington Post, Feb. 2008:
I know how hard it will be to alleviate poverty that has built up over centuries, how hard it will be to fix schools, because changing our schools will require not just money, but a change in attitudes.
We’re going to have to parent better, and turn off the television set, and put the video games away, and instill a sense of excellence in our children, and that’s going to take some time.
Today’s Wired Blog:
In their eternal quest to capture the youth vote, Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has taken to the streets of Burnout Paradise, filling the game with billboards promoting the presidential hopeful.
“I can confirm that the Obama campaign has paid for in-game advertising in Burnout,” Holly Rockwood, Electronic Arts director of corporate communications told virtual world fixture Wagner James Au.
“Put down that video game! But not until you’ve seen my ad…”
Barbie twin Hills villains Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt may have made good on their promise to knock Heidi up for publicity purposes.
Because, guess what guys? Heidi’s sporting a baby bump!
One can only hope that it’s from tacos and not Spencer’s evil sperm.
Dear God:
I don’t ask for a lot. (Well truth is, I ask for a lot and you just rarely grant me such necessities as that Mr. Big-style Mercedes and my own pony.)
But if you hear just one prayer from me, let it be that Heidi Montag’s womb is empty. I’m not ready for Armageddon, got too much shiz left to do. Like looking forward to Britney’s tour next year.
Sincerely,
Holly Won’t
How many times do I need to say this?
Penn Badgley and Blake Lively from Gossip Girl star in a new McCain-focused ad from MoveOn.org, made in the style of an anti-drug commercial.
Yes, they really say, “Voting Republican even once can have disastrous effects that last for years.”
Now, before I get accused of being a “budding Republican” again, let me assure you that I am not. Deceiver is a nonpartisan blog but the accusation that I’m a Republican, budding or otherwise, is truly laughable.
That said, Dan and Serena would have been better off keeping their political views in their pants after appearing in this ad. Tell me, do they believe it’s still important to come out on Election Day if you’re voting for the other guy? All the dancing in the world couldn’t get me to buy that.
