Obama shows versatility.











While W was merely portrayed as a fascist, Obama is now a triple threat: Socialist, Muslim and Communist! Oba Mao is the latest incarnation slash play on words showing much love. Not gonna lie, that’s a pretty good play on words, if, you know, I were a political satirist slash t-shirt copywriter. I’m sorry, what, it isn’t just in China with flaming statues either? Washington, D.C. of all places, with the added bonus of a peace sign? Represent! Thankfully* the other coast still has its senses as there seems to be no hate in The Haight. (Or is there.)

*In a post referencing Godless isms, I didn’t think it right to use the words Thank G--.

Um, is pop culture supposed to cannibalize itself this quickly?



I mean, computer speeds double every 18 months, but if we keep eating our references the way we have, at this rate we’ll have nothing left for the next generation. I give you... JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND BRITNEY SPEARS OPERA: TIMBERBRIT. And the video above is a montage of—can’t believe I’m writing this—the “work’s” themes, released ahead of the final production. It’s something that only the French or David Lynch could appreciate. I dare you to sit through it.

Please let this just be a twisted record label promotion for a future CD or something.
