Thanks. I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Coincidence the way the page is laid out?

—Golden Oscar on 0’s right shoulder
—”SUPERSTAR!” above his head
—His head covers “entertainment” so that the word becomes “entent” (intent?)
—NOT President but “Barak 0bama “
—”He’s Changing Pop Culture Forever” (sorry all you unhip oldster outsiders)
—”Oprah, Clooney, Anniston and the rest of HIS Hollywood entourage”
—”Tina Fey gets Lucky” on his left shoulder
—”Special Double (as in two-terms?) Issue” at his temple

Rather cultish is it not?

This is what Obama voters wanted...a rock star...American Idol...the winner of Survivor (without all the hard work). They wanted a kid with his feet dangling from a chair to sit behind the ‘big desk’ in the Oval Office. Being an adult and acting like one are too difficult because adults sometimes have to make unpopular decisions. Heaven help us all until the grownups are in charge again.

Their making a terrible mistake, even from their perspective. Obama has become a fad, and we know what happens to fads. They rise, they become extremely popular, and then they become a laughing stock. You could probably find 100 Hollywood celebrities that ran that course.

It was called “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust” for a reason.

I betcha he’s got them ‘thingys’ I used to put on my dog to keep his ears pinned back [coincidentally, the reason he only wants the WH photograph to snap him - so that he can control the ‘Dumbo Effect’.....bwaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaa!]

Sure enough.

He is the high school trinity: homecoming king, prom king, and class president all rolled into one.

Beyond that?

“the human manifestation of an alien being who is hoping to present humanity with a message of hope in the last five years of its existence. Ziggy Stardust is the definitive rock star: sexually promiscuous, wild in drug intake and with a message, ultimately, of peace and love; but he is destroyed both by his own excesses of drugs and sex, and by the fans he inspired”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_Ziggy_Stardust

Huh-whaaaa? You mean there’s some sort of connection here? (/sarc) LOL

“OMG is there any end to this?”

Anyone go into a Barnes and Noble lately? At least half the magazines have O-vomit’s mug on the front cover, and at least two or three tables are packed only with books, puzzles and artwork by and about him.

I never thought my own country would descend into such a cult worship mindset; that was supposed to be for Asian and Latin dictatorships.

Ya just couldn’t make this sh*t up.

Those ears of his were photo-shopped to look smaller. They are normally MUCH larger than what is shown on the “Entertainment” cover.

They photoshopped his ears so that his mug would fit on the cover.
