Futurama: Forward to "Decision 3012"

This clip from an upcoming episode of Futurama in which a huge-headed green monster from another planet moderates a presidential debate in the year 3012 is kind of unbelievable. I mean, what are the odds that American-style democracy will survive President Bristol Palin's 16-year term?

Futurama's one-hour season premiere airs Wednesday, June 20 at 10/9c.

All Glory to Michele Bachmann's Newsweek Photo

Hmmm…

There's something vaguely unsettling about Michele Bachmann's image on the cover of Newsweek, and I can't quite put my finger on it…

I don't know… For some reason I have this overwhelming compulsion to purge gay people of their basic human rights all of a sudden.

I can't prove it empirically, but I just know deep down in my heart that it's what Jesus and Superman and the other Founding Fathers would have wanted.

Today's Candidate Must Embrace the Futurama Head in a Jar App

If there's one reality that presidential candidates must face today, it is that we are now definitely living in The Future.

Sure, we spent the land sealion's share of our nation's history living in the past. And, yeah, we were briefly living in the present for a short bit back there. But now, what with all the smartphones and Twittering stuff and iThings, we are most indeededly in The Future.

That's why I think need get on board with this crazy tech craze all the kids are crazy about these days, get their head good and severed and continue their political campaigns from the safe confines of a jar.

Failing that, they should all probably download this Futurama Head in a Jar app so that they can get comfortable with what their heads will look like inside jars once the inevitable has inevitably become evitable.

Here, see for yourself. They look kinda nice. In a head-in-a-jarsy kind of way…

More Republican heads in jars than you can shake a space stick at after the jump.

An all-new Futurama airs tonight at 10/9c.

Winning the Futurama: Catching Up with the Candidates One Thousand Years from Now - Part 3

By the great horn of Xenos! We found some more photos from further on across the fourth dimension…

Whoa! Some distinguished entity in the Galactic Congress has been making some really crazy claims about how legislation should made according to the dictates of a sort of mystical invisible all-encompassing force that supposedly moves through and influences everything in the universe. Who is that? Enhance!
