Campaigning in the World of Warcraft
Update: Old school gamer and author of this post Tony DiGerolamo responds to all the haters.
There's a lot of talk lately about what Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have to do to win in Pennsylvania tomorrow. But take the long view and you realize that with each passing election, using the Internet to get votes becomes more and more crucial overall. Candidates today have to speak not only to the casual web surfer, but also to those for whom the Internet is a lifestyle choice. So, here are some tips for the candidates courting the World of Warcraft vote:

Hey guys get this, These are our choices other than I would like to believe that no vote is a vote for me and believe it that is not a vote that you would have like to make. Even the name Damian is a name and dont worry about Korea because Trust me if Korea was an issue Lady Palin would have built a bridge, instaed she intended to build a bridge from a military tactical position to our nations supplies. Hence if the airport falls so does the city. There was a reason behind the seperation of Military and state but luckily it didn't happen.
Exactly,It is right.
Nice post,Thanks..

WoW Gold
What, no shaman? Fail!
Good job, Comedy Central! God, I hate that my fellow Wowers are so freaking lame and actually took offense at this.
But, just because they did, it's only a small minority of WoW players. Most of us are adults that can laugh at ourselves, it's the dateless wonders who sit in their Mom's basements eating Tasty-Cakes and RC Cola who really take this game that seriously.
the rest of us just like to have some fun. We don;'t live the game, we play the game.
Hillary as a dwarf....just excellent man. Keep up the good work making fun of WoW. It's the best game ever but obvioulsy some of the players take themselves waaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously.
Sigh. this guy is just typical. No talent. Angry at having no talent and then posts stuff like this so he can add this to his facade of a resume. This is what happens when the web makes gold out of dross. Bet he has home "google me" parties too. Oh well...back to "World of Warcrack" for you!
What about hunters?
The best thing about this is the artwork.
Face the wrath of the nerds!
It's hilarious to see the no lifers, who all pee in week old coffee cans so they don't have to leave their computer during a WoW raid, go ape shat over a frigging parody.
These people are the definition of "cat ass".
I found this to be quite entertaining. Koodos!
Obviously something left over from when the Writer's stirke was on. "Nuff said.
