KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reports a company in Kansas City, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material…

Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. At least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced…

Here's the website for Gill Studios, the company that's supposedly printing the bumper stickers. Doesn't exactly look like the kind of company that would be privy to that info.

I don't think they'd get to know who the new VP at the local Chemical Bank is.

The Minneapolis/St. Paul-area blog east-lake.net just posted this photo of an awesome billboard that's gone up over the Twin Cities in anticipation of next month's Republican National Convention…

No word yet if there's one in Denver welcoming Commie Pothead Baby-Killing Terror-Coddlers.

I'll let Videogum's Gabriel Delahaye set this one up…

Yikes. The movie was written and directed by David Zucker, who gave the world Airplane! and the Naked Gun series. He's like an American treasure, but whatever the opposite of treasure is. It's too bad 14-year-olds can't vote, because then this movie would be a really powerful political tool.

Was Gabe actually besmirching Airplane! and The Naked Gun? Whatever. Either way, this preview really shows how far this particular Zucker brother has fallen…

My favorite part of the preview — the only part that actually made me laugh — was when they cut to the country singer shitkicker guy singing the ridiculously patriotic love ballad to America in that huge pyrotechnic arena. I thought, "Wow, are they actually making fun of themselves a little?"

And then I realized that was the one part of the preview that wasn't intended as parody.

After the jump, the CC Insider's Matthew Tobey and I debate whether this is the worst-looking movie of all time or just one of the worst-looking movies of all time. Feel free to throw in your two cents…

Matt: That American Carol trailer is the most mind-blowing thing you'll see all day.

Dennis: It actually doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought it would.

Dennis: But I was thinking pretty bad.

Matt: Really? Wow.

Dennis: Yeah.

Matt: Your expectations are impressively low.

Matt: I don't think mine go that low.

Dennis: I mean, it doesn't look "funny."

Dennis: But it holds together as a thing, and I wasn't counting on that.

Dennis: I was thinking bad along the lines of 'Epic Movie' or '1/2 Hour News Hour.'

Matt: I actually think it looks worse than Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans and all those things.

Dennis: Really? No!

Dennis: Those are the lowest.

Matt: Because the humor is on par, but the politics are so fucking ham-fisted.

Matt: This looks like a cross between Postal and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

Matt: This is worse than anything. You are wrong.

Matt: This movie is mankind's greatest atrocity.

Dennis: Is that your pull quote?

Matt: It's my suicide note.

Matt: I'm just glad Anne Frank isn't alive to see it, because she'd be like, "Fuck it. I give up. We're not all basically good after all."

After that, I conceded defeat.

He goes and picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on each side. Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his left.

Ezra Klein puts the somewhat unlikely claim into a little perspective…

32 kilos is about 70 pounds. Not sure I believe this, but it does point towards an interesting campaign strategy in which Obama proves his national security chops by winning an arm wrestling match with a bear. That's the sort of foreign policy experience Americans tend to want in their candidates.

I wouldn't have believed it either, except that I came upon this exclusive footage of a disguised and undercover Obama practicing for what I can only assume is a yet-to-be proposed arm rasslin' match with the war hero McCain…

Update: For some reason, the video above hasn't been showing up on some people's computers, and it's been pointed out that we've also become "more and more un-fun."

For both issues, we apologize. We really, really don't want to be un-fun. We have special meetings here in the Comedy Central mansion where all we do is discuss ways of becoming less and less un-fun and more un-un-fun. (One executive even suggested we shoot for un-un-un-un-fun, but it was later conceded that that might be too much to ask of ourselves.)

Anyway, in an attempt to re-un-un-fun the site, we jerked around with the code to the above video. And if it still doesn't work, here's a direct link. (Let me tell you, the joke is totally not un-un-un-worth the wait.)

Update 2: It appears as though the video problem is on YouTube's end, and seems to be affecting Macs right now. Hopefully, they'll fix it soon. (The "un-fun" problem is still on our end, though. Sorry, we're trying to fix.)

And it's as funny as you were hoping it was going to be…

(via CC Insider, which stated: "This show is really great. I wouldn't be so bold to already call it the best anti-war clipart-based animated web series ever — I'm not insane — but it's definitely a contender.")

You already knew The Daily Show had "the best fucking news team ever," but last night you got expensive in-your-face graphics that told you, and that's really what journalism is about, right?

I, for one, love when they do sketch-type stuff like this on The Daily Show. I wish they did more of it. I wish they did like 36 hours of sketches per day. In my kitchen. I also wish marshmallows could read. Why don't any of my wishes ever come true? I should probably read The Secret again.

Oh, didn't you hear? It's 2003.

Anyway, I gotta open a window and let some of the deperation out of here.

Seriously, what is wrong with the McCain campaign when their strongest line of attacking Barack Obama is pointing how much everybody else in the world seems to love him. There's something off-puttingly freaks and Geeks about that.

Update: John McCain's old strategist John Weaver weighs in on McCain's brilliant new attack ad against himself…

"John's been a celebrity ever since he was shot down," Weaver said. "Whatever that means. And I recall Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush going overseas and all those waving American flags… For McCain to win in such troubled times, he needs to begin telling the American people how he intends to lead us. That McCain exists. He can inspire the country to greatness…

"There is legitimate mockery of a political campaign now, and it isn't at Obama's. For McCain's sake, this tomfoolery needs to stop."

I, for one, hope the tomfoolery doesn't stop. I'd hate to have to go back to writing my own jokes.

The first political ad, shown on both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, was paid for by the group MoveOn.org, which seems to be some sort of trucking industry lobby.

As the political season winds down, other networks are sure to also broadcast ads from the following third party candidates, should they raise enough cash to do so.

Ralph Nader, Independent
History Channel

Bob Barr, Libertarian Party
Home Shopping Network

Roger Calero, Socialist Worker's Party
Fox News

Cynthia McKinney, Green Party
Disney Channel

Charles O. Baldwin, Constitution Party
C-Span 6

Matthew Jay Borman, American Party
American Channel

John R. Crockford, Peace and Freedom Party
Adult Swim

See MoveOn's ad, which features Willow's Wiccasexual girlfriend (Amber Benson) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, on the Insider.

If you somehow don't know David Rees's work, give yourself a gutter ball in the Wii Bowling game of life, because he's amazing and you're a loser. His My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable had already made him great, but it was Get Your War On that elevated him to the Thomas Nast of the Internet.

The comics are smart, confrontational and, above all, hilarious, and now they're an animated web series, brought to you by the fine people of 23/6…

No, that can't be right. Democrats are all atheists.
