[mystieus]

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. Is he selling paper towels?

[Fenris]

34. From the makers of "BRAWNY," it's "ORNERY"!

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. How Republican of him

I must say that is a classic and not unexpected

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

3. Aaaahh, another "Decider" aye?

.

[mystieus]

58. lol

[EFerrari]

4. It's like a really bad parody.

lol

[dmr]

48. Next, he's gonna ask to be Obama's VP

He knows a winner when he sees one ...


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


No, seriously! He wants the job!

I can tell.

[Bicoastal]

5. "The DECISION CENTER?"

Boy, that's inspiring. :rofl:

[uppityperson]

32. I clicked on the "sign the petition...a visit to Iraq" link and found this...

Bwhahahahahaha. THAT certainly sets the tone for a civil campaign.

[Cha]

6. Creep..don't they have any original logo

guys working for them? They had to steal Obama's.

[Thrill]

7. Another Politican stealing Obama's slogans

[TahitiNut]

8. It could be worse. McCain could have ripped off McDonald's ... with the 'M'-shaped golden

... dentures.

:evilgrin:

[Willo]

68. Oh that's a good one! nt

[Hatalles]

9. Follow the LEEDAR!

[liberaldem4ever]

19. He looks like one of the old men

I used to take care of in the State Mental Hospital in Texas. We used to have to tie him in his bed to keep him from hurting himself. Seriously.

[ShortnFiery]

10. Grampy McSame is such a BiTTER BASTARD ... cheater and unoriginal seems to fit too. n/t

[redstate_democrat]

11. No really. Is this serious?

Edited: O MY GAWD IT'S REAL!

This ancient fucker is pathetic!

[mystieus]

16. Yes.

[nerddem]

23. haha, look at that "mccainspace" link

if i mccainspace you, will you accept my friend request?

[bobbert]

31. I would, but what are the benefits?

Benefits of joining Team McCain include:

Already a Team Member? Click here to login now!

[redstate_democrat]

35. If I was a trouble maker I would join his dingy site and cause trouble

}( But I'm not. I don't want to fool his campaign into thinking he has more support than he actually does.

[dmr]

49. But ... but ... you'd get to be on the GOP mailing list

think of the benefits ...


:evilgrin:

[WeDidIt]

54. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

HE only had three friends on MySpace and all three were spam!

That is just so pathetically lame.

He's not McSame, he's McLAME!

HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE

[blogslut]

12. Sad

A pale (lol) imitation.

The Obama graphics are so fine, so perfect. The O site is a thing of beauty.

McCains' new design is a knockoff and a crappy knockoff at that.

[izquierdista]

13. How long?

How long until McCain starts appearing in blackface like Gene Wilder in "Stir Crazy"?

[redstate_democrat]

14. I just involuntarily relieved myself.

Thanks for that. No really. Thanks.

:P

[blonndee]

42. OMG...

:rofl: :yourock: Freaking funniest thing I've read all week!

[NatBurner]

55. ha

[me b zola]

15. McCain:

A leader you can
believe
will bomb Iran

[me b zola]

17. McCain

A leader you can
believe
will stack the supreme court
the McBush way

[boppers]

18. It's Web 2.0 style.

Gradients? Check. Pastels? Check. Rounded corners? Check. Soft drop shadows? Check.

It looks "hip" now, but in ten years, it'll be just another design fad. :shrug:

[bhikkhu]

20. LOL...he sucks so bad

:rofl:

If there is an age or an intelligence level where that looks good, I'm just not there at all...

[anonymous171]

21. "Decision Center"? Like the "Decider"?

[Barack_America]

22. Somehow, that just makes him look even older. nt

[TexasObserver]

24. CHANGE ... that makes Old Man McCain's pants smell better

[PretzelWarrior]

25. even in this "best photo we could find" he is very old and sickly looking

not an image to inspire hope and trust. even his grin is kinda creepy
:yoiks:

[Asider23]

26. really...

lovely

[Oak2004]

27. Proof the Republican Party has run out of ideas n/t

[anonymous171]

40. lol quite literally.

[KittyWampus]

28. GET OFF MY LOGO! lol

[uppityperson]

29. "Obama on Iranian Influence Equals Failed Judgmen" bwahahahaha

Don't want any of that failed "judgemen" now, do we? And no, it's not just a word wrap issue since other sentences wrap to the next line. Hey McCain! Spell Check. And then have a live person check it again.




The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind

[msallied]

30. Christ... that could also be grounds for a lawsuit. What a dumbass.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

33. SO many ideas stolen but the design doesn't work. BTW, kudos to Obama campaign designers!

[quakerboy]

36. It looks like he may be giving away cheap hotdogs

in the hope you will buy a mattress today.

[ORDem]

37. Someone was up very late photoshopping that pic of McCain, and he still looks like crap!

The smile is weird and it looks like they actually had to add highlights to his pupils.

[cottonseed]

38. This has been tried before (lifting from Obama)

and it didn't turn out well. McCain is not 'leading'. He's trying desperately to keep up.

Obama is an iPod
McCain is a Zune

[discopants]

39. expect to see streetwise McCain poster real soon :-b

the "new" McCain branding = pathetic imitation

We thought the Hillary "Mao" poster was perverse ... just wait till we get a high-contrast McCain graphic with big bold "HONOR". Oh the agony.


Not just the weak appropriation of the slogan ... the entire website has been redesigned (appropriated) to follow Obama's brilliant graphic branding. Like Clinton, McCains website has retooled the navigation site architecture to copy Obama's (because it worked so well for him) ... McCain will keep tweaking it, imitating the whole color scheme, the typography.

Expect a new logo too ... my guess he'll use a big "M" with wispy clouds and bright sky. You know, because McCain is the real "Change" candidate.



on second thought, his poster should just be adapted from:

[NYC Liberal]

41. Wow, that photo is horrible.

Look at that fake smile. I wonder if they lifted the corners of his mouth in Photoshop.

Could they not have whitened his teeth a bit, as long as they were touching him up?

Why is half his face almost completely in shadow? Not normal looking lighting...his face is half light and half dark right down the middle.

[blonndee]

43. Off to the greatest.

[blonndee]

44. One of the "candid" photos on his front page

He managed to find the one black dude in the whole crowd. And check out the sick shades!

[jgraz]

46. Damn, is that Harold Ickes on the right hand side?

[Unbowed]

45. Notice they left out the clouds on the McSame version...

probably don't want to remind people of the pearly gates.

[goletian]

47. lol, john mccain in spanish.

http://www.johnmccain.com/espanol/

holy shit... obamas spanish version of his site has a bunch of misspellings!

[ContinentalOp]

50. The nice thing about the McCain version

Is that they thoughtfully used large-sized type for the visually impaired. B-)

[Raine]

51. NOT an original thought in his head or in

his campaign. x(

[Califooyah Operative]

52. Kinda like "Change We Can Believe In."

Original.

[rucky]

53. You should see the version where he's in blackface.

calling all photoshoppers...

[my3boyz]

56. Pathetic. They are going to try to copy Obama's primary

playbook but Obama will have a brand new one the general election. They will be play checkers as Obama plays chess........

[tekisui]

57. Notice the shadow on the side of his face with the swelling.

[applegrove]

59. What an idiot.

[PoliticalAmazon]

60. John McCain: The "Me, TOO!!" Candidate. n/t

[SaveAmerica]

61. Next he'll come after Michelle

[snooper2]

62. at least they can color his dentures white...

:rofl:



GOBAMA!

[uppityperson]

63. Did you notice what he listed as "news"?

In The News
06.05 Why Obama Must Go to Iraq

[NC_Nurse]

64. "A Loser we can't believe won"....that's what the Repubs are thinking...

:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

73. This is just SCREAMING for a photoshop!! Unfortunately, I don't have the skills...

:(

[Arkana]

65. Classy, Mr. McCain.

You want to see REAL plagiarism? This is real plagiarism.

[papapi]

66. Paper or plastic?

[Willo]

67. It was that or the puke green

:puke: :rofl:

[Sultana]

69. eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww

McBush is nasty looking... :puke: and with all that cash his trophy wife has, at least invest in some Crest White Strips :eyes:

[and-justice-for-all]

[Sultana]

72. A note from their blog about the logo

Posted at 8:06 PM on 5/21/2008 by michael_palmer

JohnMcCain.com

As you can see, we've changed a few things on JohnMcCain.com. We have a new design, a new look and some new tools to help us in the fight to get John McCain elected. This is only the beginning of what's to come, so stay tuned.

Take a look around and let us know what you think!

[Avalux]

74. Cheap knock-off that will fall apart once purchased.

That's about it.

[MiniMe]

75. OK, somebody photochop that to say the recession center

:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

76. I wonder if the Obama campaign holds copywright on all its graphics.
