This is the thread and poll where I get to sample the political landscape of NSG via the use of fictional characters.

Amongst our roster is a Kryptonian tyrant, a demonic deity, Christopher Walken (He's Christopher Walken), a vampire, a vampire's rival, a Sith Lord, a television and movie character, and an irate martial artist (technically not fictional, but still present). Oh, and I threw in the "other" category, but we are not accepting factual contenders.

As for me, Kneel Before ZOD!!

Gotta go with Walken.

Tell me you wouldn't want to hear the State of the Union address recited this wise:

:p

Edit: Sorry about the canned laughter - I thought it was funny regardless. Actually, the canned laughter probably makes it sound *more* like the State of the Union address, rather than less, but that's neither here nor there. :p

Cthulu, but I should point out that I'm pretty sure all the real candidates are fictional as well.

I nominate Major General Webelo Zapp Brannigan.

What about that Japanese anarchist guy?

"If I am elected, they will be scared. I will be scared."]

Or Colbert/Stewart...

Or... *idea* Black/Mencia

"The earth? Oh the earth will be gone in a few seconds...I'm going to blow it up. It's obstructing my view of Venus."

Manifesto of Marvin the Martian

My vote is already in the ballot box.

Captain Picard!

Cthulu is already taken by GOP.

Cthulu. No doubt.

the puchuu. i heartily welcome our obscenely cute overlords...

with already having shrubery the simple, do we really need more evil overlords?

i'm not so sure i'd want to trust anybody who actually wanted the job.

but i would like to see something completely different then anything that currently stands a snowflake's chance (which also somewhat excludes evil overlords as they appearently do).

i think maybe chobbits would make a good president.

or l.u.m. or maybe even rainma 1/2!

or how about hello kitty? or hamtoro? or the samurai pizza cats? or ... ?

or possibly a lottery of homeless persons. or highschool students.

artists other then game designers. there are several poets and science fiction writers i can think of, although most of those are dead now. the one's i'd want that is. come to think of it, a dead person might not be a bad idea either.

i really don't thing there needs to be anything as powerful as the current u.s. or any other super power.

there are probably a number of tribal elders and volunteer broadcasters on community radio stations i could recomend.

along with nome chomsky for president. howard zinn for vice.
and amy goodman for secritary of state.

maybe jerry brown for attourny general, or epa, or health, education and welfare.

oh wait, but i wasn't supposed to mention real people?

or at least not nationally or internationally known ones?

i really think there's just oodles and oodles of pretty good noodles, well way better folks for the job then anyone we've ever seen in it or are likely to.

ah, speaking of noodliness, how about, who'se that god of the pastafarians?

or elxita, or green tara, or ...

=^^=
.../\...

i've had a good idea: how about we get 3 different computers that vote between each other in order to decide how the world is run?

Does Mike Gravel count even though he is a real (but chanceless) candidate for the Democrats? I mean, he compared himself to a potted plant... No? Then I vote rms!

Donkey Kong

So the OP is saying that Christopher Walken and Chuck Norris aren't real but are fictional characters? Someone should tell them so we can watch them disappear as soon as they stop believing in their own existence.

I wouldn't mind Norris disappearing for a bit - I've had about enough of him, with those commercials now. :p

Hehe. Silly. Cthulu isn't fictional.

Optimus Prime for '08! "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

I vote for Emmett Brown and Marty McFly for President and Vice President respectively. Why?

...

Because...they were the first fictional characters to jump to mind and none on the list were even remotely interesting.

Hah. McFly. :p Who's Emmet Brown?

Doc Emmett Lathrop Brown!

Doc, you fool! Doc!


Aha, right, right. :p

Have you seen those commercials recreating scenes from older movies with the actors doing new dialogue, all photoshopped to look like the original? They did one from Back to the Future - freaks me out in a way. :p

Great Scott! The successful election of Emmet Brown would generate exactly 1.21 Gigawatts of kinetic energy from ecstatic American voters!

Yes. Yes I did. I freaked out at the T.V. over it, mainly because it made no sense. DirecTV didn't exist in 1955! Hell, it didn't exist in 1985 so Doc's comment is completely idiotic! Come on, people, if you have to reference a movie, make it fit with the movie!

...

Okay, so after a bit of Wikipediaing I see that it did exist in 1985, but it was a small company that had just gotten off the ground four years previously. Unless Marty blabbed to Doc about DirecTV--in which case Doc would have no reason to tell Marty about it--it's just idiotic.

Makes me wonder what kind of rip-offs or spoofs are possible with that video-editing software. I hope it doesn't catch on, to the point where every hit movie becomes forty dozen commercials. That would suck.

Well it wasn't just video editing...Christopher Lloyd did have to act out that bit about telling Marty about DirecTV. :(

I was never really sure that Norris isn't some kind of CGI creation - that beard has just never looked convincing.

Yeah, I just meant the seamless blending in of the dialogue along with the editing that allows Chris Lloyd to look 20+ years younger. I guess we're safe from rip-offs of movies where the cast is dead, at least. :p The one with Charlie Sheen (Major League, I think) was also pretty seamless.

Yeah. That and the wooden acting, of course. Keanu Reeves has nothing on old Chuck. :p It's especially apparent in his new Pepsi (Coke?) commercial, where he's chasing those kids around.

Luckily for me I am in the UK and so have so far managed to avoid adverts featuring Chuck - though from your description it sounds like it could traumatise a whole generation of children.

We;re talking about the fictional Chuck Norris from the Chuck Norris Facts (http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/). And the fictional Christopher Walken that has the site Walken 2008. (http://www.walken2008.com/)

I'm surprised, though. Dracula would at least offer bitter truth, and yet nobody votes for him.
