"There's No Escape"

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

From an article I read in the paper over the weekend:

There’s no escape
Some Democratic White House candidates are jumping on the text-messaging bandwagon.


People who join the text-messaging campaigns of their favorite prospects will receive text messages with updates such as “Debate tonight! Watch Barack Obama.”


Obama media director Joe Rospars: “Your cell phone is probably the one piece of technology that is with you all the time.”


Tim Chambers of the Media 50 Group: “If we can support our ‘American Idol’ contestants by texting, why not our presidential candidates?”

Well, at least you have to sign up for this shit. For now, anyway. If politicians can get around the no-call list, it's only a matter of time before they're able to get around the no-text thing, too, probably.




And Tim Chambers brings up an interesting point, which I've bolded, because obviously American Idol is of the same importance or possibly even more important than national politics these days. How about this: Let's get rid of conventional elections entirely and just choose our representatives via some crappy reality show based on Survivor!



Who's with me?
