Okay, so you ended one of the most unnecessary and expensive American-fueled wars of all time… / Okay, so you helped to lead a covert, extremely dangerous but brilliantly organized mission that successfully killed the most wanted man in history, Osama bin Laden… / Okay, so you’re Barack Obama…
…Now don’t get me wrong, yeah, I think you’re alright, but that won’t keep backwards ass Americans from voting for you in the middle of the niiiiiiight…. (guitar riffs)
And thus, the Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum is considering launching a new mini-exhibit on the great state of Virginia, specifically addressing the political sentiments that run hilariously/horrifically rampant across nearly all portions of the state outside the Washington DC Metro Area.
So as we continue to expand our collection of Virginia-based artifacts, enjoy the above automobile whose message of stamping out ignorance by watching Fox News couldn’t get much better if it tried.
* But what if this is actually a liberal who is trying to make a post-ironic point??
What if the intent of this message and the bumper stickers is all a joke demonstrating how ridiculous Fox News / Jesus fish / Support Our Troops stickers / Glenn Beck really is??
How are we as a society supposed to be able to distinguish what is real and what is just performance art??
….Oh wait, is that a mobile home or horse truck to the left? Never mind, it’s probably real. Carry on.
NY Post’s response to their recent cover. Journalism still soars at an all-time high.
Today’s NY Post front cover:
Journalism, still at its finest.
We always wondered when Malia quotes would be used against good ol Prez Bam. Maybe Malia will become the administration’s new ambassador to tackle the oil spill.
Coming soon: more on ‘scammer to the stars’… we’re intrigued.
Nickelodeon and Kids Everywhere Declare Prez Obama & Wifey as “Cutest Couple”
In case Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards couldn’t get any sillier and more fun to make fun of, they just did: President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have just been nominated for the “Cutest Couple Award” at the 2010 Kids Choice Awards.
The competition, however, is pretty intense. They’re pitted up against “Edward and Bella” from Twilight New Moon. And in case that wasn’t steep enough, they’re also running against “Jacob and Bella” from Twilight New Moon. And the fourth nominee? “Neytiri and Jake” from Avatar.
Can’t wait to see if Obama and Lady GaGa interact backstage or on the “orange carpet” as they await their possible orange blimps.
I wonder if Barack and Miley are on good terms or are sorta frenemies… hopefully she’ll keep her cool for the “big night”.
Move over Zaknessa, Barchelle is now in town. (Is that what we’re calling the Prez & wifey these days?)
P.S. If Barack and Michelle win, they better get slimed.
The above photo could be the Commander in Chief.
Reason #693 Obama should resign: he’s a Bad Parent (via Fox News)
Last Monday, Fox News via Bill “Papa Bear” O’Reilly decided to enthrall us with six riveting minutes of more desperately-needed-to-know news by video conferencing with an “educated doctor” about whether Barry H. Obama is a good parent or not.
Mashing clips together about a short anecdote regarding Malia’s grades, the following is the Fox News-delivered product. May News Corp reign forever and ever.
I wonder why Fox News didn’t further support their “Obama is a bad parent” argument by contrasting the stellar parenting of Dubya Bush.
Love you Jenna&Barb.
Obama will never be the parent that Bush was.
WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM
Artifacts of Modernity is a internet based "museum" specializing in the preservation of contemporary artifacts deemed worthy of entrance into Western Civilization’s ever evolving canon.
One part virtual time capsule, one part white walls echoing with the sweet siren song of irony, Artifacts of Modernity is the first museum of its kind. Entrance is free, permanent exhibits down the hall and to the right, bathrooms on your left.
Enjoy.
