<p>Ok, two semi-decent reasons that you might only consider after a few cervezas. Still, you&#8217;ve gotta respect her angle here. She knows her policies won&#8217;t earn her any conservative votes, so she says screw it and gets naked. A campaign ad like this would never fly in America. But if it did, I can guarantee we wouldn&#8217;t hide that stone cold fox all the way in the back row. Viva los ta-tas bonitas!</p>

Remember Herman Cain, the Godfather&#8217;s Pizza baron who tried to be the next President? Specifically his love for <em>Pokemon</em>? Well Nintendo&#8217;s pocket monster are back in the political spotlight, this time connected to another nominee: Ron Paul.<span id="more-225594"></span></p>
<p>No, the Republican hopeful that&#8217;s still in the running, but whom the mainstream news has all but forgotten about, isn&#8217;t a fan of Ash and Pikachu himself. But Jason Paige is, who sang the original <em>Pokemon</em> theme back in the day, and who also supports Ron Paul.</p>
<p>Despite one&#8217;s feeling about the candidate, the song above is pretty neat. Now all we need is Obama to get the voice of Optimus Prime to cut a promo for him, and the Presidential race will officially become exciting.</p>

<p>That just can&#8217;t be possible, right? It doesn&#8217;t even make sense within the context he would have dropped it. </p>

<p>Mitt Romney is, by all accounts, not a particularly funny guy. But on <em>The Tonight Show</em>, they really give you every chance to look good. So Jay Leno set Romney up with a word association bit about other political figures. It <a target="_blank" href="http://jezebel.com/5897017/mitt-romney-suffers-tragic-humor+circuit-malfunction" >was baaaaad</a>.<span id="more-207171"></span></p>
<p>How can you not just call Chris Christie fat? Or even make fun of Donald Trump, the easiest target outside of <em>Duck Hunt</em>? People were laughing at the end out of sheer discomfort out of how there was nothing approaching humor in there.</p>
<p>The biggest shame? This segment has set back the immense growth of Mormon comedy by decades.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>Well, he likes stuff like <em>Angry Birds</em> and <em>Temple Run</em> at least. Doesn&#8217;t mean he has a soft spot for video games as a whole though.<span id="more-195207"></span></p>
<p>In fact, according to <a target="_blank" href="http://flipthemedia.com/index.php/2012/02/mad-gaming-policies/" >Flip The Media</a>, Santorum, like all the other Republican candidates (with the exception of Ron Paul), has blamed games for all the usual b.s. Naturally. The same blog post also points out Obama&#8217;s comparatively progressive stance towards games; the wants educational software to be as compelling as video games, which makes sense, since that&#8217;s what kids really care about.</p>
<p>Besides, games by themselves can be powerful teaching tools; a simple game of <em>Pokemon</em> has kids exercising cause and effect, resource management skills, map comprehension, and more, all at once. But enough of all that, back to Santorum; here we have his kids talking about the games that dear old dad, and potential Commander in Chief, likes to enjoy on his iPad…</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_3deYGZJEY4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Jesus, a million points in <em>Temple Run</em>? Color me impressed. By the way, this is the part in which I would normally make a joke about how Santorum probably prefers iOS, since the App Store is filled with fart apps and other similar titles, all which has to do with one&#8217;s derriere, since his last name is also a term for… you know. But I know already that making disparaging remarks about politicians has it consequences, so I&#8217;ll pass.</p>
<p>And in case anyone thinks I&#8217;m an Obama fanboy, for goofing on the Republican&#8217;s gold boy at the moment (or is it someone? I&#8217;m a bit behind on my <em>Colbert Report</em> reruns on Hulu Plus I&#8217;m afraid), for the record: I am not. This year I&#8217;m voting, in all seriousness, <a href="http://guyism.com/humor/video-vermin-supreme-kicks-off-pony-based-presidential-campaign-in-new-hampshire.html" >Vermin Supreme</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>It&#8217;s amazing how the burden of looking electable will allow a politician to do all sorts of crazy things. Like being honest on stage. </p>
<p>Over the weekend, Cain appeared at the faux political rally held by Comedy Central late night star, and President of South Carolina candidate, Stephen Colbert.<span id="more-189331"></span> It would seem that he&#8217;s finally willing to be upfront and allow himself to profess his love for <em>Pokemon: The Movie 2000</em>, whereas in the past <a href="http://guyism.com/video/video-herman-cain-bows-out-of-the-presidential-race-quotes-%E2%80%98pokemon%E2%80%99-yet-again.html" >he was rather skittish about the connection</a>…</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SAfMBom2sN0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>But seriously, I was not a fan of his antics near the end, and while I still question the stance that he held on numerous issues, I find him about 50 times more appealing that the all the other Republican nominees that are currently running.</p>
<p>The only thing better is if he had sung the actual <em>Pokemon</em> theme from the show, but given how popular the above is getting, if he runs next time, expect him to do the Mario when all is said and done. And thus he will be officially electable. By the way, best YouTube comment thus far?</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Mr. Cain, what&#8217;s your stand﻿ on Illegal Immigration?</p>
<p>Cain: Gotta Catch em&#8217; All&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>Thankfully the Entertainment Software Association has changed their mind about the Stop Piracy Online Act. After it was shelved, and when it doesn&#8217;t matter anymore. Naturally.<span id="more-189096"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://guyism.com/lifestyle/the-esas-about-face-regarding-sopa-is-almost-hilarious.html/attachment/sopa-2"  rel="attachment wp-att-189097"><img src="http://s4.guyism.com/up/2012/01/sopa.jpeg" alt=" The ESAs about face regarding SOPA is almost hilarious" title="The ESAs about face regarding SOPA is almost hilarious photo" width="640" height="345" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-189097" /></a></p>
<p>For those who haven&#8217;t heard, we won! The piece of legislation that basically amounted to a piss in the face of the first amendment rights of anyone reading this, and every person who uses the internet, is pretty much dead.</p>
<p>Basically, the guy came up with SOPA in the first place, Congressman Lamar Smith from Texas, chose to postpone any action on the bill indefinitely. Same went for the PIPA, or Protect IP Act as well.</p>
<p>Why? All the bitching and moaning actually worked. Which means even gamers, the ones who took the time to pass along their two cents to not just their their representatives but their favorite publishers, all helped to kill the absurd piece of legislature, dead in its tracks.</p>
<p>See? Stuff can happen if you actually give it a shot. Unfortunately, the one group they tried repeatedly trying to get the message across to, but to no avail, was the Entertainment Software Association. The body that supposedly represents the interest of the video game industry as a whole, and by far the biggest game related supporter of the bill.</p>
<p>The ESA spent a good chunk of change to lobby for its passage, and every-time they had a chance to change their mind, they stuck to their guns. But once it was officially DOA, much like every fair-weather d-bag that just want strangle, they immediately changed their tune…</p>
<p><em>&#8220;From the beginning, ESA has been committed to the passage of balanced legislation to address the illegal theft of intellectual property found on foreign rogue sites. Although the need to address this pervasive threat to our industry&#8217;s creative investment remains, concerns have been expressed about unintended consequences stemming from the current legislative proposals. Accordingly, we call upon Congress, the Obama Administration, and stakeholders to refocus their energies on producing a solution that effectively balances both creative and technology interests. As an industry of innovators and creators, we understand the importance of both technological innovation and content protection and are committed to working with all parties to encourage a balanced solution.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Jesus, what balls these people have. I honestly would have more respect if they had just stuck their guns. But anyway, good job internet!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m thinking that there&#8217;s only one way for the Republican candidates for President to respond: Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney putting their differences aside to cover <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oYrOtdlPsc" >The Osmonds&#8217; &#8220;Go Away Little Girl&#8221;</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>To be clear, he&#8217;s not really an avid follower of Pikachu and company, just of Donna Summers. Who happened to sing the song from which he derives his favorite quote.<span id="more-178592"></span></p>
<p>Here he is, pulling the plug on his bid for candidacy over the weekend, with the same choice words that he&#8217;s been using for some time now…</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1jV_11_q6Hc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>To compare, here&#8217;s the source: a Donna Summers song from <em>Pokemon: The Movie 2000</em>…</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iqyZ1hbwWDw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Such a shame, I really liked the guy! Actually, I&#8217;m mostly a fan of Godfather&#8217;s Pizza, which he used to help. That stuff is great, and I really wish it could be found at NYC.</p>
<p>Anyhow, ever since the Cain X <em>Pokemon</em> connection was discovered this past August, when he used that same quote at a Presidential debate (which has been in use for some time, in various speeches, and even in one of his books), he&#8217;s tried to claim that he had no knowledge about it&#8217;s source and is no fan of Nintendo&#8217;s hit, kiddie property.</p>
<p>Though a recent interview with GQ has him revealing the real story: he heard the song when NBC used it for some kind of video package. The interview also touches upon his background as a motivational speaker, and as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/12/03/cain-quotes-pok-mon-movie-in-final-speech.html" >The Daily Beast</a> point out, most of those folks rarely know the meaning or source of whatever catchy phrases they steal and repeat ad nauseam.</p>
<p>He also address where his 9-9-9 plan came from, and it&#8217;s apparently not from <em>SimCity</em> after-all. Or maybe it is, and he&#8217;s just not forthcoming (which might be the case on a lot of stuff, or so many people believe). Either that or GQ didn&#8217;t want to get Cain all pissed off, like the last time it was brought up (fast forward to 3:37 to see his response)…</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wQMc2ceuzdI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Is it just me or is he far more animated here than when he was denying all those accusations of sexual harassment and affairs? Hmmm&#8230;</p>

Obama is tempting" title="University of Texas College Republicans president says shooting Pres. Obama is tempting photo" width="309" height="202" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-174239" /></a> Pierce&#8217;s tweet, seen to the left <a target="_blank" href="http://www.texastribune.org/texas-politics/texas-political-news/ut-gop-leader-draws-attention-anti-obama-tweet/" >via the Texas Tribune</a>, said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Y&#8217;all as tempting as it may be, don&#8217;t shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we&#8217;ve EVER had! #2012</p></blockquote>
<p>The incident occurred shortly after the arrest of a mentally ill Idaho man named Oscar Ortega <a target="_blank" href="http://news.yahoo.com/dc-shooting-suspect-could-threat-obama-police-020705229.html" >accused of shooting a bullet at the White House</a>.</p>
<p>Pierce told the Tribune that the whole situation &#8220;is stupid,&#8221; saying she &#8220;was essentially just saying any kind of assassination attempt is just stupid.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear what the punishment for Pierce may entail.</p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;m just inspired by the fact that an attractive blonde in her early 20s is just as capable of idiotic anti-American and borderline racist missives as people twice her age in the Tea Party. It really shows you how fast and dumb kids grow up these days. Brings a tear to my eye.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>There&#8217;s no disputing that public speaking is hard; I once spelled the word &#8220;sneeze&#8221; as &#8220;sneze&#8221; during a 3rd grade spelling bee as a pure public choke job. But when you&#8217;re a Presidential candidate, people hold you to a higher standard. So Rick Perry&#8217;s answer to this question last night has <em>probably</em> ended any hopes of the public ever accepting him as a leader.<br />

<p>I&#8217;m not as bothered by his brain fart as I am with the faux-super-political way he said it. If you don&#8217;t know which three things you&#8217;d be eliminating, it&#8217;s probably not a great idea to trumpet your idea in the same way the Gettysburg Address was conducted. It&#8217;s like wrapping up a Christmas gift in a huge box with solid gold wrapping paper only for the person to whom you&#8217;re giving it to find a pair of socks someone used to masturbate in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p><em>BioShock</em> isn&#8217;t copying the tea party and Occupy Wall Street movement, it&#8217;s copying the stuff that came way before it.<span id="more-169474"></span></p>
<p>If the upcoming <em>BioShock Infinite</em> feels like something that&#8217;s ripped from today&#8217;s headlines once it arrives, it should… even though those headlines are quite old. Because the tale it weaves, that of a class struggle between the Founders, the privileged few who basically run the entire show, and the Vox Populi, the disenfranchised and disgruntled everyman that feel used and abused, is a vicious cycle that&#8217;s been happening for a very long time now.</p>
<p>With the only difference it the game being how everything takes place in a floating city. As <a target="_blank" href="http://www.destructoid.com/bioshock-mirroring-history-and-occupy-wall-street-214763.phtml" >Destructoid</a> points out, in an interview between creative director Ken Levine states and The Washington Post…</p>
<p><em>&#8220;When we started the game, we had this idea for these movements, and we were looking back at history. Our games are heightened versions of history — “BioShock” was kind of a hyper-realized Ayn Rand if she had made Galt’s Gulch. But instead of having her idealized characters, we put in more realistic characters.</p>
<p>In this world, we came up with the idea of looking at what was happening at the time of the game [the 1890s], with the jingoism movement and the nationalist movement versus internationalist movement. This was before the tea party, before Occupy Wall Street. Actually, when people saw that demo, they thought we were aping the tea party; they thought it was a hit piece on the Tea Party. But these movements tend to happen. There have been nationalist and nativist movements many times through history.</p>
<p>As we developed these opposing groups, the Founders versus the Vox Populi, it was interesting to see this play out in real time, so that the fictional movements we’re creating that are set in this heightened past are almost being duplicated in reality.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Levin goes on to state that, because it so closely mirrors what&#8217;s happening today, he fully expects a backlash of some kind, from both sides of the fence. Case in point, he makes mention of how some white supremacist site who called him out for being Jewish, for encouraging the murder of white people. Oh silly racists!</p>
<p>And since we&#8217;re talking about video games and politics in general, a number of folks have recently come to the same realization that the noting of debt that one which has no hope of paying off was something they learned at an early as, as a kid, <a target="_blank" href="http://stfuconservatives.net/post/11684091691" >while playing <em>Animal Crossing</em></a>…</p>

<p>Meanwhile, here&#8217;s something that I&#8217;m shocked hasn&#8217;t gotten more attention: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.foramerica.org/" >For America</a> goofy use of Super Mario motifs…</p>

<p><a href="http://guyism.com/lifestyle/video-games-are-destroying-the-very-foundation-of-manhood-claims-cnn.html/attachment/screwgamers"  rel="attachment wp-att-163886"><img src="http://s3.guyism.com/up/2011/10/screwgamers.jpg" alt="screwgamers Video games are destroying the very foundation of manhood, claims CNN" title="Video games are destroying the very foundation of manhood, claims CNN photo" width="600" height="279" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-163886" /></a></p>
<p>The author in question btw is William Bennett, who was the U.S. secretary of education during President Regan… remember, ketchup is a vegetable kids… and the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President Bush Sr, which means he&#8217;s yet another guy who supposedly has all the answers, but couldn&#8217;t do jack himself.</p>
<p>The editorial in question can be found <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/04/opinion/bennett-men-in-trouble/index.html?hpt=hp_c1" >here</a>. Entitled &#8220;Why men are in trouble&#8221;, it starts off with him citing that women are finally getting the same education and equal pay as men, plus other examples of the gender barrier slowly but surely breaking down. Which has him exhibiting a &#8220;that&#8217;s cool… but not really&#8221; attitude. lol.</p>
<p>So what does he (mostly) blame? Video games, like all conservative pundits, naturally…</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Today, 18-to- 34-year-old men spend more time playing video games a day than 12-to- 17-year-old boys. While women are graduating college and finding good jobs, too many men are not going to work, not getting married and not raising families. Women are beginning to take the place of men in many ways. This has led some to ask: do we even need men?</p>
<p>Movies are filled with stories of men who refuse to grow up and refuse to take responsibility in relationships. Men, some obsessed with sex, treat women as toys to be discarded when things get complicated. Through all these different and conflicting signals, our boys must decipher what it means to be a man, and for many of them it is harder to figure out.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Yeah, because men only began objectifying women in 1985, when Super Mario Bros came out, yup. As further evidence, he notes that he knows way too many young women that ask where all the decent single men have gone to. Really William, you talk with that many young single women? Seems kind of… I don’t know… odd. But anyway, what&#8217;s his solution? Why what the Founding Fathers believed in! And that&#8217;s being industriousness (nothing wrong with that), marriage (ummm… okay), and religion (whatever dude).</p>
<p>BTW, regarding his call for dudes to get off the couch, put the controller down, and get a job; I know plenty of dudes who spend all day long playing because they can&#8217;t find one! And they&#8217;d give their left nut for a job, ANY job. Sorry William, but when you spend hours upon hours sending emails to prospective employers via Craiglist, knowing full well that no one will respond, and especially after eating instant noodles for the 15th day in a row, it&#8217;s amazing how a few short and sweet hours in Halo can do wonders for the soul.</p>

<p>Lenart, a political science student, says she doesn&#8217;t think the ad is distasteful, claiming, &#8220;My campaign targets young people, and young people are only interested in controversial stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lenart claims that she went for the controversial approach after a more conventional ad failed to drum up any interest.</p>
<p>In related news, this is the most I&#8217;ve ever thought of or will ever think of Polish politics, so clearly her strategy works. Best Polish invention since those submarine screen doors I&#8217;ve heard so much about.</p>
