Tell me that's not real. Tell me he's not actually making a run for it.

Don't try to tell me that the American public isn't so stupid as to vote for him (I know they are).

Bejesus... Christopher "Creepy Ass" Walken. It makes me shiver just thinking about it.

It's a hoax. His publicist says he doesn't even have a computer.

Dunno, Encap might disagree....

The platform does not look very organized - no chance, IMO.

Uh, again, it's not real. As in spurious. As in fake. As in tabloid-like.

My first thought was "It looks like a farker made it".

My second thought was "Fuck... if this is actually real, and the unwashed masses flock to him... we're more screwed than a very screwed thing".

It appears that the members of the General Mayhem forums are to blame for this one.

They were trying to come up with a fake story to spread all over the internet as a joke. This one totally worked (as it's been hit with the oh-so NOT clever commentary of too damn many bloggers and even some legit news sites).

They talk about buying the domain here, start framing out the content here, hell... you can read it's whole history by looking at this post.

Yup... I have too much free time :-)
