The less internet the president knows the better. We don’t want the commander in chief looking at porn all day.

Serolf Divad June 24, 2008 at 3:15 pm

It’s a series of tubes, from what I’ve been given to understand.

MoodProcessor June 24, 2008 at 3:16 pm

But is he aware of all internet traditions?

Godless Liberal * June 24, 2008 at 3:16 pm

It’s a start. You don’t want to shock him with ALL the wonders of 1994 all at once.

“There’s a community, it’s just not on Facebook,” Mr. Soohoo said, adding that the campaign was doing other things “to get our community excited.”

Free Hoverrounds for EVERYBODY!! And Pudding every day!!”

Hahaha! Maybe he was the one who wrote that comment…

Time for the campaign to call in the “Video Professor”.

Why are we offering “Internet Basics 101″ for free? Well, we’re so convinced, John McCain, that you and your campaign staff will like what you see, that you’ll buy the rest of the series to learn more.

That graphic reminds me of a bad cult horror flick called “Teeth,” in which a teenage girl has trouble maintaining relationships because she has teeth in her vagina which keep biting guys’ dicks off. Not exactly sure what that has to do with McCain’s awareness of all internet traditions, but I had to get it out of my head and into someone else’s somehow.

SayItWithWookies June 24, 2008 at 3:24 pm

Imagine how much time he’ll save with DrudgeReport instead of that pesky Presidential Daily Brief.

Guppy06 June 24, 2008 at 3:29 pm

[re=23480]stankfest[/re]: Why not? The more he looks at porn, the less he can fuck things up for the rest of us. Heck, throw a few loose interns his way!

superfecta June 24, 2008 at 3:30 pm

But who are his base belong to?

AngryBlakGuy June 24, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Mark Soohoo : “We are going to start off checking your E-mail.”

WALNUTS! : “When did the mail man get here?”

AngryBlakGuy June 24, 2008 at 3:34 pm

Mark SooHoo : “Im going to teach you how to Google yourself.”

WALNUTS! : “What me and my dirty trollop wife do behind closed doors is none of your business!”

anabellum June 24, 2008 at 3:35 pm

a suggestion to the McCains e-campaign people concerning his facebook page..

post ‘friends only’ pics of Cindy doing her beer bottle/contortionist act….

SayItWithWookies June 24, 2008 at 3:40 pm

He would learn more about the internets, but he’s still sulking about having to differentiate between different kinds of Muslims, so he’s not really amenable to learning anything just now. Hell, the last person who told him “No sir, you have to press the Control, Alt and Delete keys at the same time” caught such a tirade that she ran off the bus crying. So right now he warms up his oatmeal in the microwave, and we’re calling that “computer literate.”

AngryBlakGuy June 24, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Mark Soohoo : “Now we are going to load some software onto your hard drive.”

WALNUTS! : “Im sorry, but I used all my viagra with Cindy last night!”

“John McCain is now aware of how to get out of a car.”

Baconcat June 24, 2008 at 3:52 pm

McCain’s first day in office:

“Charlie, check it out, this guy sent me an e-mail over the internets saying he had the plans to a secret energy source that the great Dr. Mangoambo Uzizizeki invented before he died! I wired him 300 million. Our energy problems are over!”

Day two:
“Charlie, help me! I went to Whitehouse.com and apparently the White House is full of trollops and cunts!”

Day three:

*beep* (Sound of incoming email)
*double-click* opening email.
Email: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
McCain: (To Charlie) WHAT HE SAY?

bmannes June 24, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Are you telling me that our potential president has never heard “Chocolate Rain”?!?! Oh, fuck that!

Sue Who?

Al Gore in year 2000 claims to have created the internet.

John McCain in year 2008 claims to be aware of the internet.

It’s a shame how far we’ve fallen in the past 8 years. McCain must be one of those left behind kids Bubba likes to talk about.

sarcasticusername June 24, 2008 at 3:59 pm

stankfest: i’m sure walnuts has quite the porn collection on beta-max, he’s probably the envy of the entire nursing home

Diadhuit June 24, 2008 at 4:00 pm

NoWireHangers June 24, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Those classes at the senior center sure are paying off!

NoWireHangers June 24, 2008 at 4:41 pm

I can’t wait until WALNUTS! realizes that “Googling oneself” is not some slang term for masturbation. Who knows what he’ll discover? Maybe he’ll even figure out that the kids call him WALNUTS! And why.

Baconcat June 24, 2008 at 4:43 pm

[re=23591]AxmxZ[/re]: Nice

‘John McCain is a’where? I ain’t seen ‘im since ought three.’

[re=23593]NoWireHangers[/re]: “Googling oneself” is not some slang term for masturbation. In a way it is…

Well, frankly it’s much more cost effective to order the hot water bottles in bulk online, and save on shipping. So those dehydrated babies are almost out of the woods. If they ask for Pedialyte, tell ‘em to fuck off.

pdn June 24, 2008 at 7:40 pm

Like all senior citizens: he’s not so much aware of the internet as he’s aware of AOL.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 24, 2008 at 9:34 pm

I’m aware of Ménage à trois. Doesn’t mean I’ve ever seen one in person.

McCain has announced though that he used to use his computer a lot, but then the cassette with all of the programs for this Timex Sinclair broke and he hasn’t been able to find a replacement.

shouldbeoldenoughtoknowbetter June 24, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Is John McCain aware that he can pay off the National Debt by answering the email from Nigerian bank employees?

trai_dep June 25, 2008 at 2:31 am

John McCain is aware of kids. And boy does John McCain want them off his lawn!

MathewBrooks June 25, 2008 at 9:01 am

is John McCain aware that all of your base are belong to us?
