As I was walking home from work last night, I happened to notice the new(ish) Obama posters (below) in a discouragingly high amount of dorm windows round campus….I hate college kids. The new posters for Obama’s presidential campaign display the hopeful candidate as somewhat of a totalitarian communist manifesto returned from the depths of hell. They immediately bring to mind the T-shirts of douche frat boys who favor themselves “revolutionaries” or some such garbage displaying the face of Che Guevara. While I don’t think that this is the message he was hoping to send, I do, however, feel that they convey clearly and adequately what his campaign platform as been in the use of “HOPE” on the bottom. Originally, I had thought maybe it was an acronym to cleverly highlight specific points of his platform, but upon further investigation, it turned out that (A) there is no acronym – it’s just a stupid word that in this case is exceptionally vague and open-ended and (B) it was hung in a girl’s window who seemed to feel I was really trying to watch her undress. Using my quick, sly thinking, I calmly explained that were that the case, I’d be hoping she’d be a little easier on the eye if she caught my drift. She didn’t. She did, however, catch my nuts with her boot. In conclusion, I hope that eventually my testicles redescend from my stomach and it stops hurting to move. At this point, I think it’s safe to say kids are doubtful. Thanks, Obama. Sweet future I’m hoping for now….
