The 2012 elections will involve Politics with Explosions.

And Obama and the Left will have like, solar powered ray guns, and then the Right and their C-C-C-Candidate will have nuclear missile loaded crossbow guns.

And Right Wing Guy is going to be all “Rar, Oil FTW!!” and blow up Yemen because it’s in the Middle East!

And then people will make Sarah Palin jokes!

And then Obama will be all “I am the President, BITCH!” and use some extreme moves that bring Yemen back to life, winning the public’s trust!

And this will go on throughout 2012!

And then the Right Wing Guy will be all, “Ho ho ho” and his nuclear missle loaded crossbow gun will expand into a giant mech suit that envelopes Right Wing Guy’s body, and Obama’s all “Dammit, I chose the wrong side to be on!”

And then people will make Fox News jokes!

And then Obama will be all “THEME SONG POWER UP” and the American National Anthem will give him a +15 boost to all his stats.

Then Obama and Right Wing Guy will have an Epic Battle with martial arts and lots of explosions and some slow mo and hell, some tits thrown in just because.

At the end of the year, the world over will be entirely ravaged, and the People of the World will be left for dead and the sun is blotted out by the Extreme! dust cloud that Obama kicked up when he Self Exploded, taking Right Wing Guy with him to the After Life (turns out the Ancient Egyptions were right). Then we all die, and Humanity’s dying word will be “Huh, guess them Mayans were right after all.”

And I will leave the world still knowing nothing about American politics.

Very plausible. I could see it happening.

there are only two Edwards left in stock.

?! facepalm

tI’ll be interesting to compare the number of Edwards they sold to the number of Bellas they sold.

I’m betting that Bellas won’t be that popular; you’re supposed to imagine yourself as one, not own a barbie of one.

Isn’t it more likely that, rather than predicting the end of the world, they just got bored of making calendar dates that they’d never live to see?

That’s my theory too. They had to stop writing eventually. Maybe the guy’s hand cramped up. Maybe he looked at the huge calendar and said, “Aw, screw it. I’ll be dead long before then. Who cares if I write more?”

Apparently the graphic novel isn't enough. A "Female Force" comic book is coming out. It's "a broad examination of strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture." A few of these women are Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Princess Diana... and Stephenie Meyer.

Not as far as I know.

Bella? Edward? Meyer?

That’s just sad. Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Rosa Parks have to share a comic book with these airheads.

A few of these women are Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Princess Diana… and Stephenie Meyer.

What a list. Really now? What about all the influential female scientists, journalists, etc. that would actually make compelling characters?

Marie Curie, Elizabeth I, Florence Nightingale, Cleopatra, Susan B. Anthony, Edith Wilson… and if we have to do modern-day ones, what about Sandra Day O’Connor, Nancy Pelosi (as much as I dislike her, she is the first female Speaker of the House, and that’s pretty significant…), Mother Teresa, Billie Jean King, Condoleezza Rice, Golda Meir, Amelia Earhart, Margaret Thatcher, Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall… of all the important women in the world, Stephenie Meyer certainly is not on my list.

You guys totally forgot Paris Hilton.

How about freakin’ Helen Thomas, certified badass?

That’s not even a recent photo.

But still, Helen Thomas is an absolute national treasure and all around BAMF.

She’s scary. We could use her as defense against the Beautiful People like Smeyer.

Now I have to go make a sparkly picture of Smeyer…

Your wish is my command…

EDIT: I made two. I couldn’t resist. The first uses something called “Glitterize”, but who can resist the “Sparkles Effect”?

That is not sparkly, that is….well, whatever it is SHOULD NOT EXIST.

Hides under a blanket

Second one is better.

@Alien
Can you do both at the same time?

I’ll be waited with baited breath. Baits breath.

Also “baits breath.”

I may or may not know what that means.

Come on, if you’re going to choose an influential female writer who has fed the literature-starved masses something they actually loved, why choose her ?

If you can see the animation, it’s even scarier, because you’re not really supposed to do both at once, and so you get this weird negative effect where all you see is blackness and Smeyer’s outline in gold.

By the gods…

Why not choose Tamora Pierce? Or J.K. Rowling? They both did exactly that, except they did it better.

Pre-fricking-cisely.

I can see it too, by the way. It’s flashing between creepy outline Smeyer and really sparkly Smeyer. I don’t know how they could have the effect in the book though. It’d have to be a Harry Potter moving pictures sort of thing.

Am I the only one not bothered by the flashing epilepsy-inducing picture? I suppose if I stared at it for a long time, but it just doesn’t bother me.

Could it be some are immune to our secret anti-fangirl weapon?

^^Thank you! I am not alone!

Doesn’t bother me either.

MAKE AN EDWARD!!!!!!!!1!!

ALL THREE!!!!

Yes, please!

Fixed.^^

Ah! Get it away, GET IT AWAY!

IT BURNS USSSSSSSSSS

The picture didn’t work. :P

Whoopsies….

Was Marquis’s supposed to be scary?

Was Marquis’s supposed to be scary?

I get freaked out by that pic. I saw the movie as a kid and that was the only part I remembered. That and him trying to touch her with a red-hot sword.

Hey, if you’re a kid, all you remember are the scary parts.
