  1. Nader by ifreakshow · · Score: 5, Funny

    Disappointed that there was no Nader mask. Very scary to us Democrats.

      Nader's easy. You just go to the party then stand out in the cold.

  2. Yes, flimsy paper masks! by mixtape5 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can just picture swarms of kids running around with printer generated masks. Ink running off the page because its raining.

    Rubber is definately the way to go.

    no halloween would be complete without a Darryl McBride mask.

    Just don't forget to wear a bullet proof vest when you venture out.

    This is cool. Or rather hot. Particularly where the flames are coming out.

    "It's as unscientific as it gets, but the theory, according to some people in the costume business, is that the winner in every election since 1980 has been the candidate whose masks were most popular on Halloween."

    With all the paranoia about kids trick-or-treating

    Paranoia? About what? Adulterated candy? People still believe this crap? Hoaxes for the most part, and when true- often it's family members.

    But don't take my word for it.

    The link on Moore's website is for the book "Culure of Fear- Why Americans are Afraid of the Wrong Things" by Barry Glassner. Highly recommended, and it attacks both the right and left politicians, and the right and left media, for ignoring the real issues facing our country, and whipping up hysteria.

  12. iPod Variants by Gallenod · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, just what we need! More iPod flavors!

    The GOP Presidential iPod: comes in a red, white, and blue case. Only plays Pat Boone, Mel Torme, and John Phillip Sousa. Invades you're active applications on the desktop when you sync it, attempts to download and then fight as many viruses as possible, and then claims you need to keep it installed to finish what it started.

    They Kerry iPod: Will play any tune, but never the same way twice. Married to a rich file-serving application that can get it any song it wants. The case is painted to look like a waffle.

    The Red Sox iPod: Plays the blues for 85 years before finally blasing out "We Are the Champions."
