Oh yes, its time for a rant. As I’m sure every single person who has dared to be within 30 feet of a TV in the last year will know, there is an election on. Only thing is, its highly unlikely to be your country’s election: it is of course, the US election.

Now, what is so bad about it? Well, the fact that no matter where you are, what you’re doing, there will be something somewhere mentioning the latest events of the bloody thing. Hell, you could be in a sound-proof box on top of Mount Kilimanjaro and you’d still get to find out what mean word the Republicans just used to describe the Democrats.

Next is the fact that if you’re in the UK like me, not only do you get the unending coverage, but it is also presented as if it is of Earth-shattering importance. The nation could be under 5 feet of water whilst simultaneously being invaded by France and the main story would be “Obama ahead by 5 points on the latest Gallup poll”. Even when its our own election we don’t get this much coverage – just John Snow standing in front of a big graph on election day telling us we’re in line for another period of having a twat in charge. Of course this will change though, as the UK tries to do its Little USA act more and more…

But the worst thing, the over-riding evil thing, the thing which makes me want to kill small puppies with sledgehammers is that all the candidates are completely and utterly uninteresting – totally boring. Obama is only there because white people will feel racist if they don’t vote for him, Biden… well, who the hell is he, McCain looks like some kind of cartoon character with a jaw you could crack rocks on (I’m sure they deliberately chose a Stan Smith from American Dad lookalike) and as for Sarah Palin, eugh. If she wasn’t so nauseatingly cutesy with all this ‘regular mom’ crapola I’m sure everyone would realise she’s just as loaded as any average politician and likes endangering species as some sort of hobby.

Well, there you have it. If you want to see a true example of the complete and utter idiocy prevalent on the big wide webbernet which is now taking a firm hold of all that is good in the world, look no further than Teen Moms For Palin, a site which seemingly manages to make both sides look like complete and utter retards. Oh, and then there’s the people commenting who couldn’t spot satire if it wore a big sign, painted itself fluorescent pink and did a riverdance on the end of their nose. I fear for mankind.

Actually no – wait. I couldn’t give a toss about mankind either.
