In case you were wondering what the current status of the debt crisis negotiations looks like, it’s the same as it was a few days ago when designer David Colarusso first created this illustration. (Image: @colarusso)

“It Was Page Six You Dumb Fu@%in’ Bitch”

Bucky Turco — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:47:53 +0000

By now you’ve likely come across the New York Times’ high-minded ‘Weekender’ commercials, right? Well… here’s the New York Post’s “(unofficial) response.” After all, “where else are you gonna find out that Kim Kardahian is a whore?”

Lady Gaga’s Poker Face Covered With A Mic and An iPhone

While the more nerdy among you might be impressed by Apple girl’s iPhone skills, it’s her vocal parroting of Lady Gaga that piqued my interest. Speaking of the Gaga: happy billion hits!

A ‘Forest Hills State of Mind’

You’ve heard the original countless times, but here’s the official parody of “Empire State of Mind” by comedian Billy Eichner, featuring the wonderfully strange Rachel Dratch as Alicia Keys for a more local and Judaistic version: “Forest Hills State of Mind.”

The New Times

When it comes to parodies, the New York Times is the paper of record for artist to incorporate into their work. Artist Steve Ellis fired off this freshly drawn image with a note: “What a historic and beautiful day for our country. Ahh, and farewell to our former president Bush. This drawing is a “no thanks” for the memories entitled The New Times.”

Targeting Wasilla

ANIMAL — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:34:58 +0000

Alaska continues its march towards modernity and this Sunday will mark the official opening of a new Target store in Sarah Palin’s hometown of Wasilla—she refuses to live at the Governor’s Mansion in Juneau with all those radical Obama-supporting neighbors. The discount retailer—a favorite of Eastern elites too—has an excellent opportunity to utilize the bull’s eye to their advantage and lock in on the local populations who will inherently appreciate the hunter-centric logo, even when they finally realize it’s not a gun store. ANIMAL whipped up a few ads that might have a better chance of appealing directly to the small town ~~militia~~ residents. Jump for the rest.

Mock Vogue Cover Conveys Sarah Palin’s Debate Performance

ANIMAL — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:47:10 +0000

If you watched the vice presidential debate last night, you were probably shocked—along with 69 million other Americans—at how well Sarah Palin could spit out premeditated barbs, rehearsed talking points, and what can best be described as “glittering generalities.” Her spritely smile coupled with the lowest expectations ever held for a vice presidential candidate has given Conservatives a sigh of relief after those disastrous fireside chats with Katie Couric, again giving John McCain the chance to die another day. Plus, she got an opportunity to bitch to Fox News about how elitist the mainstream media is, especially when it comes to the annoying CBS anchor and her softball questions that come standard on citizenship tests.

Even Fictional Moose Subjected To Palin’s Rifle

ANIMAL — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 23:03:57 +0000

Forget about Trig being her grandchild, that earmarked bridge to nowhere, putting the jet on eBay, Troopergate, the teleprompter lie, using Yahoo emails for state business or any of the other myriad of lies that show how dangerous a pick Sarah Palin is. Here’s the real reason you shouldn’t vote for McCain and his Alaskan prophetess: she killed Bullwinkle. |DonStuff|

The Best ‘New Yorker’ Cover Parody Yet

ANIMAL — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:21:04 +0000

“[I]magine this: a jaunty young John, in his pilot uniform, sitting comfortably and chatting with his Vietnamese captors. Two gorgeous gals serve his every wish. He is smoking a cigar and drinking a martini. In the next room other POWs are being intensively interrogated. Ha ha, Republicans?” |Wonkette|

The New Yorker’s Cartoon Cover Provides Fodder for Cartoonists

ANIMAL — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:52:16 +0000

The spinoffs of the now infamous ‘New Yorker’ cover that spawned a huge news cycle of outrage and controversy for depicting the Obamas as extremist terrorist caricatures, has almost topped that of Shepard Fairey’s HOPE poster for Obama despite only being a few days old now. Cartoonists from all sides of the political universe are taking shots at the cover and redrawing it for their own heavy handed satirical purposes. The parodies are numerous and can all be viewed on artist Daryl Cagle’s blog or you can jump for a cartoon collection of our favorites. |E&P|
