Politics for men with active glands and short attentions spans

March 26, 2004 9:18 AM

Babes Against Bush "It's no secret that a lot of Americans, and particularly American men, don't pay much attention to politics, and don't seem to notice when their leaders are ruining the country they live in. We wanted to find an interesting and attention-getting way to spur at least some people to sit up and take notice of a some basic facts..... Bush got into office by virtue of a complacent supreme court-and only 537 votes in the state of Florida. We think we can convince 538 people to vote against him." And if not, they can at least have make some money for some good causes with their calendar and have a good laugh at some of their hate mail.

Good god that woman's breasts could qualify as WMDs.

Wait, men don't pay attention to politics? Have I been doing it wrong?

Of course the content is not new to any of us. But then this site isn't designed for us - it's supposed to get the attention of the kind of people who don't pay attention to politics. Seemed worth trying at least.

I don't think the turkey was the only thing that was fake in that picture.

This is the first time in a long time that metafilter has made me laugh out load.

Are any of those women the ones that John Kerry is having all his affairs with?

I remember hearing about this a year ago, and listening to an interview with one of the 'girls'.

She didn't know who the vice president was, and thought there were 51 states.

I'm just sayin'...

I applaude the effort but they really need to work on their link targets if they're going to use frames

justgary, I've been looking at the pictures and... what's your point?



P.s. If this is what it takes, is democracy just a broken idea?

And here *I* thought that "Babes Against Bush" were a bunch of radical anti-lesbians.

I thought it was an organization of bikini waxers.

Any reason to get women naked is a good reason in my book.

And it would have been really easy to see this as a site against furry fun parts.

So, the hot babes are exactly where on that site?

If you've been paying any attention to porn in the last ten years or so (and I have, believe me... [~wink~] ) you've noticed that the vast majority of female porn stars are anti-bush.
