This has been floating around for a week or maybe a little more. Samples:

This one is a bit newer, and with the addition of a 'submit' field in the page makes for some additional user generated content that is the type of funny that makes you start clicking and magically lose an entire hour of your life to the internet. Samples:
Just good old fashioned internet memes, but still... I remember back in 2004 when the media and everyone was talking about Dean and how he was really making the internet matter in the campaign. I remember going to Dean "MeetUps" and everything. Its just interesting to me how much we've all grown. Hillary and McCain aren't Y2k compliant, to quote the second website listed above - let alone Y2K8.
By now most people who'll end up reading this probably have seen the will.i.am video "Yes We Can", which has spent time featured on the front page of this website. All I can say is, if you liked that, you'll love this -- and if you didn't like that, you'll still love this. This video is probably the best thing I've seen all week, and so if its news to you, you're welcome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gwqEneBKUs
I completely forgot to snap a pic of it, but there's a Shepard Fairey (ObeyGiant.com) "Progress" paster on the 1st floor bulletin board of Forbes Hall at Pitt.
Not living there I didnt have chance to see it before today. Next time I'm passing through I'll take a snap of it though and update the post.
A Clinton supporter seems to have put up their own decidedly less posse-rific printout on the same board - which is why I regret not snapping. The juxtapoz is a little bit art itself.
Will do next time i've a chance, unless someone beats me to it.
(And props to the poster, whoever you are.)
Lawrence Lessig is basically my philosophical idol, so it was no surprise to me when he publicly endorsed Barack Obama for President. While I know that not all of my friends tagged in this note are Democrats, I think there is something more fundamental to this election that individual issues.I personally think that there's something to be said for leadership in a President. Not just in terms of that President's ability to lead the government, but in terms of that President's ability to lead a nation.If you don't feel like reading the textwall that follows, check out this video on youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=EdDzvmY1XPoThe following was originally a blog post on Lessig.orghttp://www.lessig.org/blog/2007/11/4barack.htmlHighlights are mine.
