The Mitt Romney Condom Is Exactly What You Want To See Before Sex

By

It was only a matter of time – Obama Condoms, meet Mitt Romney Condoms:

Nice job, people who manufactured this – like the Obama condoms, it’s definitely a useful thing that people will regularly use and isn’t just to make tourists in Times Square giggle and get blogs to link to it and make fun of it (oops!) Hehehe…boners.

Still, I think we can all agree: When you think about f***ing and unrestricted access to instruments of birth control, the first thing you think of is Mitt Romney’s NBA-Jam-sized cartoon face. At least I do.

“Turn This Ship Around” Is The Most Epic Political Ad In Nautical History

By

The season for viral political campaign ads is officially upon us, thanks to this commercial from Florida congressional hopeful Mark Oxner, who urges voters to “turn this ship around” by staging a mutiny against a cartoon Obama-captain to save a large boat of enslaved children from a perilous waterfall. It contains everything you could ever want in an absurd political ad, particularly if you enjoy a post-apocalyptic nautical setting giving way to some super chill piano.

This 30-second ad is way more exciting than at least two of the Pirates Of The Caribbean films:

BLAMMO. You have officially met your match, Rick Barber slavery ad.

(Thanks, Alex!)

Futurama Comes True: Newt Gingrich Wants “Activities And Tourism” On The Moon

By

Newt Gingrich led a roundtable discussion about the U.S. space program at Brevard Community College in Florida on Wednesday and made a number of ambitious claims:

Gingrich surprised many with an ambitious plan that he said involves a permanent U.S. base on the moon, activities and tourism in orbit and a rocket engine capable of getting astronauts to Mars, all by 2020.

Gingrich said he thinks the moon could be the 51st state, and there could be five or more launches a day.

We can discuss the plan’s financial feasibility and the U.S.’s right to own the moon some other time, but for now, I’d just like to point out that the notion of “activities and tourism” on the moon was COMPLETELY PREDICTED by the second episode of Futurama, when Fry finally lives out his boyhood dream of flying to the moon only to discover that it’s been turned into a cheesy, Disneylike theme park.

Watch the Futurama “Moon Park” clip below, and brace yourself for the complete inevitability:

YES, ME CAN: Obama As The Incredible Hulk

By

Pop artist Ron English just unveiled his newest impressively random combination of things, a sculpture of Barack Obama as The Incredible Hulk:

Waaaitttt a minuttttee – they just slapped an Obama head on a Sammy Sosa Starting Lineup figure! I guess that still counts as art, because it’s anything. And it looks way better than both recent Hulk movies (though possibly not the original tv show).

Next step: Make Wolveromney and put the two figures in a this fight pose and have it be the cover of every New York Post between now and 2013.

President Obama Sings Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” At The Apollo

By

Here’s Barack Obama singing the intro to Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, to raucous applause. This doesn’t seem entirely fair, cause the time I ran onstage at The Apollo and started singing Al Green into the mic it merely confused the audience, but I guess that’s why they say the Apollo crowds are notoriously tough.

Looks like we’ve figured out the President’s karaoke go-to. I kind of always had him pegged as a “Santeria” guy?

Well done. Probably the most noteworthy Presidential singing performance since Herbert Hoover’s rousing rendition of “I Faw Down And Go Boom” in 1928, which instantly earned him 90% of the Olde Timey Party vote (Historical fact).

This Chris Matthews Remix Is The Dumbest Thing You’ll Laugh At This Week

By

During the New Hampshire primary this week, Chris Matthews talked to several analysts about whether or not certain subsections of the Republican voter base really “LOVE” Mitt Romney, making sure to slightly over-emphasize the word “Looove” in a slightly cartoony, almost ‘kids on a playground’ way.

Here’s the original clip of Chris Matthews asking “But do they looove him” (it comes at the end of this short clip):

For no reason in particular, our pal Noah Garfinkel took the clip of Chris Matthews saying “But do they luuuv him?” and made the following Remix. It is very stupid, but I’ve watched it like ten times and keep laughing:

Noah adds, “I really am sorry, you guys. I’ve wasted everyone’s time including my own.” You sure have! You know who else has done that? The entire internet always. That’s why were here. Hi everyone!

The 12 Most Adorable Presidential Dogs In U.S. History

By

In the midst of an extraordinarily divisive GOP Primary that will assuredly lead into an even more divisive Presidential Election, sometimes us regular American (professionally blogging) shmoes are left to wonder if rival politicians really can ever agree on anything. It turns out, there is, in fact, one – and ONLY one – issue on which nearly every president of the last hundred years has seen perfectly eye-to-eye regardless of their politics, platform, or party affiliation: Dogs are awesome.

Because we strongly agree with this sentiment as well, we’ve compiled the following playfully subjective list of the 12 Most Adorable Presidential Dogs of the last hundred years (sorry, William Henry Harrison’s pneumonia-retriever). Enjoy it now, cause it’s the last time we’ll all be agreeing on something vaguely political for the rest of 2012 (click any for Full Size):

12. Liberty, Gerald Ford’s Golden Retriever

11. Millie, George H. W. Bush’s Springer Spaniel

8 More Dumb Stock Photos To Improve Herman Cain’s Website

By

Herman Cain recently formed a new “Women For Cain” website in an apparent attempt to win over a subsection of voters he’s largely alienated. However, Cain then came under fire after multiple sources pointed out that the banner for Cain’s “Women For Cain” website was actually constructed from a stock photo of four women.

While some see this action as dishonest and perhaps emblematic of Cain’s struggle to court female voters, we at BWE find it completely hilarious, and after a quick perusal of the rest of Herman Cain’s website, we realized that if anything, he should actually use MORE stock photos to spruce up his image.

Here, as a free donation of our web design acumen, are 8 More Stock Photos To Improve Herman Cain’s Website:

Anne Hathaway Joins Occupy Wall Street Protest (OK?)

By

Here’s Anne Hathaway marching with Occupy Wall Street protestors on Thursday and holding up signs (click for full size):

Um, alright! We could criticize her for clearly aligning herself with a general anti-establishment sentiment to add street cred and appear very down-to-earth, and we probably wouldn’t be wrong, but also, her presence will draw more attention to the #OWS movement regardless (thanks to dumbass pop culture blogs who only link to political things when celebrities or pizza songs are involved – thooseee guyssss), so it’s hard to roundly criticize. Although, if Anne Hathaway is part of the 99%, we need to get into hundredths-of-percents to figure out exactly where my income falls.

After the jump, three more pictures of Anne Hathaway and her boyfriend Adam Shulman marching with OWS:

Benetton’s Controversial “World Leaders Kissing” Campaign Is Actually Super Adorable

By

Italian clothing company Benetton just unveiled a provocative new ad campaign featuring Photoshopped pictures of various opposing world leaders kissing one another, as part of their promotion of the UNHATE campaign, a foundation committed to establishing “a new culture of tolerance.”

The ads have already sparked predictable controversy (oh Italian clothing company Benetton, will you ever stop sparking controversy???), but to our internet-schorched eyes, they really just seem harmless, entertaining, and kind of cute. Check out the 6 ads below and agree/disagree:

1. Barack Obama and China’s Hu Jintao
