Japan’s Power Rangers sentai erotica Love Ranger features some “verypopularTVtalent,” wink wink, and kind of beats out American-made porn parodies, if not by wankability, definitely by kitschy weirdness. Read more »
Here’s a parody about MasterCard withholding $15 million in WikiLeaks Defense Fund donations, filmed according to the conventions of the credit card company’s own signature ad gag and featuring the notorious Australian himself. Read more »
Apparently, BP is a little worried about their public image and since their $50 million ad campaign—which isn’t being seen in states affected by oil spill—is a flop and the buying up of keywords in Google searches isn’t all that effective, they’re now focusing on the real heart of the matter: Twitter.

Poor Tim Burton. Even the Goths are giving up on him. The director, recently buffooned a la College Humor parody, is taking hits from all over. In the crotch. Read more »
Website Targets ‘Rapist’ Glenn Beck
Ha! A new website claims that advertising killjoy Glenn Beck is a rapist and a murderer—but they’re just kidding and doing it to make a point. The parody site, Glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com, employs the same type of journalistic integrity the Fox newsman does in his scurrilous reporting.

By now you have all seen Olafur Eliasson’s not so impactful, public arts project known as the ‘New York City Waterfalls’ scattered along the East River, but have you seen the renderings of the proposed East Village version of the water works?

Here’s the latest—in an increasing collection—of the Obama “Hope” parodies, seen on the streets of Hollywood. The work was created by politico art blogger Mark Howard of NewsCorpse.com, and features the image of a monkey looking McCain with the exhortation “NOPE.” But the artists intent isn’t just to discourage votes for the old fucker. “The initial motivation is to go after McCain” Howard tells ANIMAL “he’s the anti-HOPE candidate. But needleing Fairey, that’s the cherry on top. I think he’s kind of a fraud so I’m stealing from the style thief.” The NOPE t-shirts are landing in interesting places in DC, specifically ANIMAL hears, the office of Congressman Keith Ellison, D. Minnesota. The press secretary for the the nation’s first Moslem elected to congress ordered a batch of them. You might recall Ellison brilliantly showed up detractors when he was sworn in holding Thomas Jefferson’s Koran. The timing couldn’t be more perfect either with word that the Associated Press is calling it for Obama, finally ending Clinton’s chances and setting the stage for a general election duel to the death with the old war monger.
