WHITE HOUSE GAME SHOW: MURDOCH NET PLANS 'AMERICAN CANDIDATE'; WINNER TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT '04

Move over American Idol. Here comes American President:

A Rupert Murdoch TV game show that may choose the outcome of the next White House race!

Cable channel FX is set to mount an ambitious two-year endeavor that will culminate in the American public voting on -- a "people's candidate" to run for president of the United States in 2004!

And will this be any different to the existing presidential race?

O-kay, what are the requirements for emigrating to Canada?

Relax, every generation has to have its Pat Paulsen.

The first time I read that, I thought you mean STUART Murdock, not Rupert. Put on a bit of a spin...

I've always joked that I don't believe in democracy because the only true evidence of democracy in America is the Monday Night television line-up. And now they're taking it literally...

super idea

I'm all for it IF it's hosted by Stuart Murdoch.

There really is no chance of the candidate being any worse than der Fuhrer Bush, so they may as well go right ahead...

If only Gus Hall were still alive.

Oh Hell I thought you were going to endorse Billy Idol for president

Billy Idol! hey, that would be great, we'd take the yanks seriously then :-)

That would be interesting; unfortunately there is a little Constitutional requirement that U.S. presidential candidates be born in the United States.

was he canadian then?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 23 September 2002 10:33 (twenty-three years ago)

and I thought this was going to be a thread about Lester Young.

Billy-Idol-Possessed Philippe for prez! Hands off the sex bicycle! You'd best believe he gets wicked sack, etc etc. Rad chillies.

(Has there already been a favourite web comics thread? If not maybe I should start one just so somebody would know what the hell I was talking about.)
