I'm not sure if I should embrace it because it's Mountain Dew, or Cry, or what...

Well, it's a lot better than a dumbocracy.

*gets pied in the face*

It lags your computer like hell, sort of like the UN.


BURN

OMG!!!!!! I FEEL SO EMPOWERED NOW, CUZ IT'S LIKE SO UBER KEWL THAT I GET 2 PICK MY V3RY OWN MOUNTAIN DEW LABEL THIS PWNS!!!!!!! THANK YOU MOUNTAIN DEW!!!!!! I WILL BUY YOUR PRODUCTS UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!!!!!!!!11 W00t!

On second thought, maybe I'm not cool enough to participate in this Dewmocracy... oh, God, now I'm all insecure...

There is no Mountain Dew, but the real deal. None of this Diet or Code Red shit. What a joke. It's almost enough to boycott all Mountain Dew if they didn't put addictive compounds in it to make me want more and more. *downs another can of Mountain Dew*

I denounce this as a self-perpetuating corporative oligarchy.

Well, it's a lot better than a dumbocracy.

Welcome to CostCo ... I love you.

*Ow! MY balls!*

Mountain Dew = Orangeade. It's not even caffeinated here...

Tsk, Tsk.

If you were a true Max Barry fan, you would have known about this already. He had a blog post about this a month ago: DEWmocracy: like democracy, but carbonated (http://www.maxbarry.com/2007/11/20/news.html). :fluffle:


But yeah, it's pretty stupid. Yet more evidence that old, rich, corporate types are not "hip," "rad," "far out," or "groovy," and should not try to be.

I'm pretty sure more people will vote for this than the 2008 elections...

Wait... I see possibililties here. First, you get to vote for how a product is developed, then you can vote for how and where it's distributed, then you can vote for how much you pay for it. Ultimately, you could vote to get rid of the product and the company that produced it entirely.

You know, it's a slippery slope - first thing you know, the Pillsbury Doughboy could be president.

Why would we vote for a somewhat pudgy white person with no real ability to manage the nation?

Oh, wait...

Back in January, there was a thread in the spam forum (for jolt) that aimed to eliminate that smilie. Ultimately, the efforts of myself and others seemed to have failed.

I can't figure out if it's a joke on US-style democracy or if it's just unintentionally tragicomic. Either way, the cleverness/idiocy is inspired.

Anyway, I have a liver to molest & some extremities to blow off. Happy new years leute.

How the hell do I get to the creating part, I don't wanna search through a pile of links and I don't see one right up top.
