I got an e-mail this morning from "My friend Kristen," called "Kristen sent you a video." Now, I have one friend Kristen, but I was a little skeptical that she would bother to send me a video. Turns out I was right. AGAIN. Here's the e-mail in its entirety.
Dear Derek,
Your friend Kristen sent you the following video from CNNBC: "Obama's Loss Traced To Derek Roy"
Watch it here:

When I followed the link (you should too), I immediately realized what the video was: A fake report from November 7th, 2008 (that's in the future! someone is gonna invent a time machine in the next week! YAY!) titled "Obama's Loss Traced to Derek Roy." I could try to explain how stupid this video is, but I recommend you watch it for yourself to truly understand.
I'm not even going to address that this video is A) Not Funny. 2) Not technically possible due to the Electoral College and numerous other reasons that I dont want to get into. D) Really fucking annoying spam.
If this little piece of shit viral marketing campaign is endorsed by Obama, I just lost alot of respect for the man. I hope for all of our sakes that it isn't.

A) It's not spam. It's sent only when people go on the site and enter in their friend's email addresses -- Kristen probably did send it.
2) It is technically possible--though, of course, beyond unlikely-- that one person's vote could tip victory away from Obama and toward McPain. One vote tipped the 2000 election in Bush's favor --ok, he was a Supreme Court Justice, but it's possible that a civilian could do it, too (if one state decides like Florida did in 2000 and all elgible voters minus one vote).
D)Yeah, it's pretty irritating. How about the woman who curses? They bleep it out, but you can still tell what she's saying and it's just a little over the top, eh?
R) The People want to see some pics from SuperHouse.
Not endorsed by Obama Campaign. It's done by MoveOn.org, one of whose leaders coincidentally, was born and raised in Maine. Ha.
it was a joke, jeff. i knew it wasnt spam.
