Support the Viking Party! Raiding, Raping, Pillaging and Raping is the path to prosperity and freedom!

Wow, I don't know how to decide between Canon Camera, Backwards Nikon Camera or Camera Phone. Decisions, decisions.

Ruler-man keeps it simple and old school, but the double meaning of "ruler" shows that he's clever. He's got my vote.

For the same reasons, I worry about Nail-man having some major infidelity issues in office.

I can't decide between the Blender Party or the Oven Party. Oven Party is promising more baked goods, but the Blender Party wants to allow more access to Milk Shakes.

Makes sense in a country where more than hjalf the peopel have Muhammad in their name...

Not to be all crazy isolationist or whatever, but isn't the whole point of spreading democracy that I wouldn't? Vote for anyone in a national election in another country, that is. Not really our business (barring FARKers from Egypt, I suppose).

Though the general idea of assigning candidates arbitrary symbols more or less pulled from a hat is pretty awesome, we should totally do that in the western hemisphere too. I vote Romney gets a one-strap sandal and Bachman gets a bag of hammers. Obama can have an extra-long scroll with "birth certifcit" on the top.

I think Egypt needs to vote on the Supreme Elections Commission.

I hear the Blender Party is bringing all the boys to the yard.

The Ruler Party and the Tank Profile Party seem rather strict.

Sour Grapes Party all the way. I'm gonna be extremely and vocally unhappy if they lose.

Seems unfair they can't pick their own symbols. Not like our elephant and jackass mean anything...but still, they are self-assigned.

I feel very secure with this political party.

/not sure why the gypsies left out "Travelers" in the logo, though.

Yeah, maybe. If by wine you mean the blood of martyrs and apostates.

Heh... it's like some kind of bizarre Monopoly game.

Oh, no, you found a logical contradiction in my totally-serious post that wasn't being flippant at all and was definitely srs bzns and not an off-the-cuff poke at the usual politics tab targets in any way.

I must now commit seppuku to abate my family's shame. By which I totally mean literally end my life honorably by gutting myself and not grabbing more coffee and heading for the office, me being all serious and this post, like the last, not being laden with blatant indicators of flat silliness at all.

//What? The Callahans are totally a clan of honorable samurai warriors, like Tom Cruise in that highlander movie or whatever it was.

I have become oddly intrigued with the chair-in-an-egg with the peace sign behind it.

I'm personally voting for the Clip Art Party.
 
2011-11-28 09:33:27 AM
I gotta go with the backwards Nikon camera. That's all kinds of awesome.

this totally looks like the range of images you have to pick for a site key at banking websites.

Eww subby, that's the Egyptian NAMBLA party. Their party slogan is "Come ride the rocket"

The Blender party shall rule victorious, or by Osiris, there will be blood on the streets.

I think all the household appliances should form a coalition.

Pretty good odds that the next ruler will come from this party.

Nevermind.

Anybody notice that the "girls" have to vote in a separate line,probably followed by a very large shredder from the Imans.

Spigot, for definite.

//they're both offering so much!

If you were a women in Egypt you wouldn't want to be in a line with men, especially if you weren't in ninja garb.

Pretty much guaranteed to get molested.

Its not a space shuttle. Its a two stage unicorn bomb, dipshiat.

Shallow well hand-pump guy all the way.

/because he both sucks and blows.
 
2011-11-28 11:47:55 AM
Wait, so one candidate gets a tank, while another gets a women's dress? Sounds like the people in power are already playing favorites.

"Hah, looks like ol' Larry el-Masri is running in the election. Let's make him the Star of David and see how that goes..."

Definitely nokiN. Don't give me any of that Canon crap, much less what the cannon spews.

"And as it goes to the polls, today's historic vote is no exception, with 250 symbols in use, from Viking boats to umbrellas, each assigned to a prospective MP and then given to them at random by the Supreme Elections Commission."

Wow, what a lousy system. All the power of a symbol...given at random. Doesn't necessarily represent a damn thing. The guy who got a dress as his symbol hates it, as he considers himself a manly man...got it...
The guy who got a tank, hell, he might be the biggest anti-war dove EVER, but his name will be linked to a gigantic weapon. Then you have the household appliances...seriously, is this a joke?

Sure. Which one would you rather have in bed with you?

Agreed. One would also think that whoever was assigned the pyramid graphic would have a bit of an unearned advantage.

I don't know. I like camera pointing left's focus, but camera pointing right has not had as much exposure. Maybe he's just a flash in the pan.

I hear their platform involves building a laser to write their candidate's name on the moon.

Who's Viking Boat Guy? He seems like he has good ideas about boats and invasions.
