By no means are we a political site, nor is this image supposed to send a particular message. As a favor to a friend, I drew Presidential candidate Mitt Romney as a Borg from Star Trek. In all honesty, I have never seen the original Star Trek series nor the next series with Patrick Stewart, so I had to Google what it was. The Resistance is Futile slogan is well known enough in pop culture and I had a blast drawing that awesome optical thingy I put on his head. What exactly can Borgs do? Does our boy Mitt have what it takes to be a Borg?
And who in the hell should I vote for come November? Let me know in the comments and in the poll!
I’m not huge into politics. And now that it’s a major election year, being into politics is a really big deal. I hate that I have to choose from such crazy partisans and that who I do have an opinion for, there are people who exist solely to blast my opinion out of the water with a bombardment of condescending facts that they likely heard once when they flipped through the Fox channel. Regardless, whenever politics are mashed up with pop culture, I tend to have a stronger love for such things. Today I compiled a neat gallery of .gifs that compare 2012 Republican Nominee Mitt Romney and Channel 4 Newscaster Brick Tamland. Political hilarity ensues.
It’s been a long time. I updated before, promising us starting earlier mid-December. But I was still on vacation found out that I didn’t want to spend energy doing this type of thing. So here I am, trying to scramble together enough posts to satisfy the fanbase. And I’m kicking it off with a quick update with what I’ve been up to and what I’ve seen these past two months. Below is a list of ten of the awesomest things that have happened to me. Check below and hope you look forward to the newest installments I have for you guys.
Hollywood looks like it’s having plans to make entire movies out of popular board games. We’ve already seen the trailer to 2012’s Battleship [trailer below] and there are already plans for a Ouija Board and Candy Land movies. So IMDB posted a poll having rather hilarious theoretical plot lines for other popular boardgames. Here’s what the choices and the spread was.
