Candidates That Fight Back - Obama Snaps, Threatens to 'Go Gangster' (SPOOF)
Whether this is fake or not, it was f**ing hilarious. Obama may be half African American but he's not running for President so that he can represent and support the black community; he's running for President so that he can lead the nation--that means ALL OF US, not just those who match his own skin color. And don't anyone start by saying that all the previous white Presidents supported white people more so than they did African Americans, because that's not the point. The point is that Obama notices this and instead of trying to even the score, he is disregarding his own race and is trying to do things right for a change. If this is real, his method of saying that was definitely brusque, but it surely needs to be said, regardless.

Taming Las Vegas Dress Codes - Showing Underboob is Now Illegal
This is ridiculous...the logic of the illegalization of the "underboob" makes no sense whatsoever. So, a tourist can go to Nevada to pay a hooker for sex, but it's now illegal for a woman to bare the underside of her breasts to these same men? The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

Rebellious Technology Ads - Kingston Uses Piercings & Tattoos Sell Memory
I think that the description of this ad missed the mark a bit. It doesn't have as much to do with space as it has to do with personalizing and doing what you want with everything in your life (i.e. skirt length, body art, and memory space). I found the accompanying description of this trend very confusing the way it was worded; I just think it could have been summarized in a much simpler, shorter, and easier to understand manner.
