Monday Night Pimpfest, Part Two!

Smartest PR gal ever emailed me this afternoon. She must know that bloggers pay little attention to mass emails, even if they do come from someplace as beloved as Comedy Central. So she didn’t just drop some ad-spam on me. Oh, no. She read my blog first:

Hi Douglas-

While your readers are busy blinding themselves after clicking through your “Potter Spoilers” post, I thought you would be interested to know that Comedy Centralâ€™s Indecision 2008 campaign (http://www.indecision2008.com/) is officially underway, keeping tabs on all things political so that you can either laugh or cry your way through the upcoming elections.

The site is updated daily, with embeddable clips from the Colbert Report, Daily Show, and Lilâ€™ Bush. There are also customizable widgets and polls, which are also fully embeddable, so you can keep your readers in the loop on Todayâ€™s Conservative Talking Point (“Lure Mexicans across border with candy on a string”) and what happens if they Google â€œHillary Clinton + Sexyâ€.

You and your readers also have the chance to visit the “Candidate Casting Couch” to weigh in on which candidate fulfills the role of the best Harry Potter characters (preview: Rudy Giuliani = Draco Malfoy, and it actually makes sense…)

So, um YEAH I’m gonna give y’all a shout if you read my stuff! Plus, that “Candidate Casting Couch” really is pretty cute. (“Al Gore = Hermione Granger. Lovable know-it-all; has grown noticeably ‘shapelier’ over the years.”) They want to know who = Harry Potter. But isn’t it obvious?

Answer below the fold.
