Is this posting to the Satire page?

Oh, wait... there is no Satire page.

So you're really going to post this BS to Politics?

If they're all cats? I'd say the "most likely to be single" category.

Since my dog is named Lucifer and my cat is named Beelzebub, I'm getting a kick out of..... aw fark, I support McCain?

Hmm, my dog is Nigel. I guess I'm voting for the Queen.

Next cat I get will be named Tatiana after the SF Zoo tiger. Not sure where that places me politically.

Oh, also from TFA:

"Advocates of Clinton have liberally bestowed pejorative pet names such as Butthead, Bozo, Jizabelle and Cokehead."

You think that's a typo, or has someone actually named their pet Jizabelle? I doubt even pornstars would take on a stage name like that.

This article is fake. I can tell by the pixels and from having seen unfunny satires in my time.

Both Hillary Clinton and John McCain supporters have significantly more pets with derogatory names ...

CravenMorehead 2008-06-08 09:39:41 PM  
Why has the MSM not picked up on this? They can simply collect the names of every pet in the country and predict the winner of the 08 election with 100% accuracy.

 
Enuratique 2008-06-08 09:40:37 PM  
I shiat you not, we have a golden lab named Pancake... Definitely NOT voting McCain in November.

 
simpsonfan 2008-06-08 09:42:07 PM  
The cat at our house is simply 'the cat'. Another cat that has shown up, idiots left it, is referred to as 'the other cat'.

I'll write in Gore, beats voting for McCain, Clinton or Obama.

I own a black cat named Dante. I guess this hypothesis might have some truth to it...

What if my pet is named after a video game character?



Revan, in all his 9" awesomeness.
He is amazingly aggressive and I didn't know his sex when I adopted him, hence the gender-ambiguous name.

I have a cat named Blackie.

Definitely voting for Obama in November.

I seriously doubt any of this is related...

One of my cats is named "Zinger", a successor to my previous cat "Schrödinger", the source of which should be obvious to any science nerds.

The other cat is named "Moose". I named him that because he's big, and likes to ram his head into things.

You can take away from that whatever you like.

/voting Obama

My dog is Winston, as in Sir Winston Churchill (who also owned a pug), and I like Obama.

The ones who name their pet that are Bill Clinton supporters.

Cat: Belle (not my idea)

Guinea pigs: Mustard Plug and Spaz

no clue what this indicates.

I have a cat named Ashy McPancakes. I guess I'm voting for Cynthia McKinney.

I have two cats, one named Leopold Stotch, we call him "Butters," "Butt-plug," or "Big Boy" the other cat is named Majorine. She has a couple nicknames like "Majoreenie" or "Maggie."

/my ex has two of my old cats, Jay and Silent Bob
//The result? I like naming my cats after fictional characters. I don't think my politics have much to do with it.

3. Posting any Satire to Fark.com

My pets are all called Eric. Eric the cat, Eric the fruit bat, Eric the half bee, and so forth. I expect I'll vote for Obama, because Barack sounds the most like Eric. But I don't think there's any connection there.

 
Gyrfalcon [TotalFark] 2008-06-08 10:15:11 PM  
Xena, Gabbie and Noire. The dog is named Missy, but she came with that monicker.

Xena is a gray tabby Maine Coon Cat, Gabbie is an orange-&-black tortoise shell, Noire is a black cat (obviously).

The three cats before them were all named "Kitty". I'm not much on naming something that doesn't respond to anything except "kitty food?" The dog prior was "Alia", but more often "stupid biatch".

I guess I'm voting for Cthulhu.

My aunt and uncle's dog is named Reagan. Can't get any more obvious than that.

sararenne: was told no one adopts black cats


My wife took Dante in BECAUSE he was black. She wanted to make sure he didn't end up a victim of some ignorant asshole's sadistic pleasures. Given the lifestyle that he lives I'd say that being black turned out to be a great advantage for him--a sort of feline affirmative action.

And yes, we're all voting for Obama.

Awesome... thats why I always get black kitties... the adoption place that takes over a room at our Petco said they practically have to give away black cats, no one will take them, and they wont let anyone adopt them 2 weeks before Halloween, out of fear someone will do something to them.
Adoption place also told me that more black cats get put down than other cats. Because of superstition, no one wants them.

 
madden101 2008-06-08 10:26:43 PM  
Got two rabbits, one named Buddha, one named Jack. I guess Buddha could be derogatory. My sister also used to have a handful of fish with names like Hitler, Castro, Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini, Mao, etc. All pretty derogatory, I suppose, but we're both voting for Obama.

I have a rich tradition of swiping names from South Park,

Thus my dogs Butters and Polly Prissypants.

My dear departed J-Lo, as I had to explain often, was in fact named for Eric Cartman's left hand, not the Puerto Rican chanteuse. She was a Chihuahua/Pomeranian. Her kisses tasted like tacos and burritos.

Unless you name your pet after a shemale pornstar, Then you will know the bad news when you're writing in this guy's name on the ballot:
