Winning the Futurama: Catching Up with the Candidates One Thousand Years from Now - Part 2
While sifting through the flotsam and jetsam of spacetime that gathers in our utility closet for some reason (does anybody know how to repair a small tran-dimensional rift?), we stumbled upon some more photos of the GOP candidates from across the sea of time…
"It seems to me that an economy that is based upon a completely free market with no government oversight would collapse under the weight of its most greedy CEOs… Wait… wait. Oh, my! What have you done, you flea-bitten furball? I'm reasonable!"
More images from the future after the jump.
Futurama's one-hour season premiere airs June 23 at 10/9c with two back-to-back new episodes! Then, starting June 30, the show will be part of "The Thurs-Dimension" with new episodes of Futurama at 10/9c followed by new episodes of Ugly Americans at 10:30/9:30c.

Winning the Futurama: Catching Up with the Candidates One Thousand Years from Now
If there's one thing that we, as a species, have learned from Futurama — Matt Groening's terrifying portrayal of the future of mankind — it's that every famous person's head will be preserved in a glass jar so that its tenant may live a life of near-immortality. Makes you wonder what that bit of knowledge means for our current crop of presidential hopefuls.
Wonder no more, wretched human. Wonder no more…
"I know I have in the past been opposed to an overthrow of civilization by machines," the Romney shouted at voters over the deafening sounds of machine gun fire, anguished screams and whirring hydraulic joints, "But I meant that strictly at the state level."
More dystopic scenes of the future after the jump.

Has Sarah Palin Already Seen the New Season of Futurama?
From The CC Insider…
After getting the story of Paul Revere's midnight ride wrong, Sarah Palin has been treated like she tweeted a picture of her penis. But maybe she doesn't actually have a comically warped perception of American history. Maybe she just confused the truth with this scene from the upcoming Futurama episode All the Presidents' Heads that no one has ever seen.

Hypnotoad Disqualified from Russia's 2014 Olympic Mascot Competition
From The CC Insider…
Vladimir Putin is a lot of things: Russian Prime Minister, a red/white belt in Judo, a Libra, a tummy-smoocher, the list goes on. But one thing he apparently is not is a Futurama fan. According to The Moscow Times, Putin's choice for the mascot at the 2014 Olympics was a snowboarding leopard, which was chosen along with a ray of light, a snowflake, a bunny and a polar bear. Not among the mascots though, is Zoich, an Olympicized homage to Hypnotoad.Eventually, the professional jury simply refused to include Zoich, whom designer Yegor Zhigun based on the character "Hypnotoad" from the U.S. cartoon series "Futurama," on the list of finalists. The decision was in line with selection rules but de-facto voided the purpose of online voting.
"Zoich was absolutely out of consideration," a source within the Russian Olympic Committee told The Moscow Times on Sunday. "It was very depressing."
"The mascot should symbolize Russia, but imagine the impression people around the world would have when they looked at this blue toad?" said the source, who asked not to be identified because she was not authorized to speak to the media.
I spoke to another source close to the matter who added, "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! ALL GLORY TO THE HYNOTOAD!"
Meanwhile, in former Soviet Russia, Hypnotoad disqualifies you from mascot competition.
