A link to what is essentially a caption contest in the Something Awful forums? This is a terrible, terrible link for a FPP on Metafilter.
However, I do find your user profile and its contents amusing. So it's not all bad, I guess.

There's just something about the way her head suddenly turns that made me lose it, sorry.

It's on the middle of the fifth page, referencing the original Alien.

Hey, this is pretty good, and I only got through the first page. I'll share the rest with cow-orkers tomorrow, the few of us there who have senses of humor and aren't rabid conservatives ...
Guys, hotlinking to the images ain't working, link to the posts with the "#" in the lower left corner.

this one is kinda funny too, as are several of these.
I'm not really sure it's FPP material, though. But whatev's.
There are a lot of "goofy" pictures of politicians out there. Basically, anyone speaking empathetically will look strange in a still image.

Anyway, the waffleimages.com ones I linked to loaded/reloaded/loaded in another browser. But anyway. The other one I liked was her head on Howard Dean while he gave his famous scream.

I'm pretty sure the race for post of the day is going to come down to this one and the two hour video of colorectal surgery.

I guess the admins will decide, but in any case, I just thought it would be fun to share these seven pages of hilarious, odd and absurd Photoshoppings.

This kind of thing is very easy. And the reason I think Hil doesn't stand a chance.

It's easy to get past that hotlinking thing. 1) click on the link. 2) when the no-hotlinking thing shows up go up to the address bar and hit enter to reload the image. The image now shows up.

Or I guess you could just copy and paste the image URL into the address bar, it does the same thing. That site is checking the referral site so if it doesn't find one it serves the image.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I hope both Hillary and Obama get dissed and kicked to the curb. Why? Cuz they cheated that's why. They started running like a whole year before the first primary. That's like kicking from the blocks before the starter pistol goes off. FALSE START. They should be disqualified. It's bad form. Now we got over twenty-five states talking about doing their primaries in February, and there's talk of a mandatory nationwide primary date in future elections. Lame. We've got these cheaters to blame.
I still resent what the media and the public did to Howard Dean. He was made a laughing stock for what? Why? Cuz he was overenthusiastic about the job? HELL! I WANT someone who's enthusiastic. What's wrong with being enthused about your job? I didn't really wanna vote for Dean until AFTER he yelled. Then it was too late cuz the rest of the world said he's too...what? Still I don't understand why we turned our backs on Dean.
Freeze frame someone as they're talking enthusiastically, and you're gonna get a picture like we have now of Hillary Clinton. Heck, if you take any public appearance of hers that's on tape and go through it frame by frame like some lunatic, I bet you'll find a dozen or so shots which you can make fun of. Means nothing, but somehow it'll affect polls and the talking heads will eat it up and Clinton will eventually get so ridiculed she'll be out of the running. Good. Drop her. Do the same to Obama. Zap out all the Republicans too. Those guys look like a bunch of fried grapes anyway.
What you want for a president? Someone you can't make fun of? Hell! When has there been a president people weren't making fun of? It's like Pin The Tail On The Donkey, even when the elephants win. Whoever we put in office, the only real reason we put them there is cuz we want someone to be the fall guy, the patsy, someone we can blame when the shit hits the fan - then we laugh as he slips on the banana peel or chokes on the pretzel or gets spooge on the blue dress. Or takes excessive naps. Or gets impeached for wiretapping.
From the perspective of Humorist Supporters, Hillary Clinton's going to keep people like Bill Maher on the gravy train a helluva lot easier than Obama. Can you think of a good Obama joke? He's boring! Worse than Al Gore was. Come to think of it, this picture of Hillary Clinton may actually put her in the White House!

Meanwhile, McCain has become completely ridiculous. Oh please don't let 2008 come down to Clinton v. McCain; either way we all lose.
