So by now you’ve seen that famous Shepard Fairey print Barack Obama. A lot of peeps since then has tried to emulate and imitate, including yours truly on some pictures. Anyways this is by far the easiest way to achieve that look that I’ve come across. Here’s a plug-in developed by Dubi Kaufmann for Mac users only. This is a plug-in for the application Photo Booth, which comes loaded on all Macs. Once installed you can have your own look-a-like image. It’s a bit finicky and requires a certain background and blah blah blah. Anyways have a look at the ones I did of myself. I had to go shirtless in the top picture, you can see a bit of my tattoo on the left shoulder.

I’m going to start out this post by saying I AM A BLACKBERRY ADDICT. There I said it, it lets me keep up with my three different email accounts, the Blackberry messenger is a good way to keep up with friends, and texting is so much easier than trying to text on regular cell phone.

Most of us have seen that Obama has been on his Blackberry most of of the campaign, keeping up with new articles, blogs, speeches etc. I wonder what steps Obama is taking right now to get ready to have his blackberry leave his life. Personally if I had to give up my Blackberry I would take it harder than breaking up with some chick.

Word on the streets is saying that the Smithsonian Institute is interested in purchasing Shepard Fairey’s Obama picee for the National Portrait Gallery.  The price tag for this is $75,000.00.  Will Fairey’s work be displayed in the hallways that house famous portraits of Ab Lincoln and George Washington?

We’ll keep you posted.  This is an exciting time to live in DC.

This comes by way of Jeff Hamada over at Booooooom.com, I was at a meeting with him and some talented writers, Bart, Chris and Mike. Watch out for them dudes, they’re gonna be working on some hilarious shit over the next little bit and will be sharing with you Killahbeez readers. Anyways during that meeting of the minds, Jeff got us to pull up this clip of someone taking the time to cut up words from Barack Obama’s speeches and matching them to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” lyrics. This may be the illest shit ever. Anyways I realize this is  old, but I hadn’t seen it and I thought I’d share incase anybody else missed it.

Also see the follow up with the video inserted into John McCain’s rally.

Here are the speeches if you want to watch them over and over. I have to say John McCain’s speech was stellar, if only he gave speeches like this throughout the campaign, maybe, just maybe he would’ve had a chance. Probably not, but it would’ve upped his chances at least. He definitely showed a lot of class with this speech and actually had me choked up a bit.

Below is Barack Obama’s victory speech, which too was pretty fantastic and inspiring. I had some man tears in my eyes as he was speaking.

Part One

Part Two

Undrcrwn does it again. First they brought you the O-Face tee, now they’re taking a historic sports image of Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston from the 1965 bout and put a twist on it. Undrcrwn logo in the background with the words “Down Goes McCain!” and an image of Barack Obama standing over top of a downed John McCain. Great looking shirt and retails for $30.00

But in all fairness, McCain’s speech was pretty fuckin’ fan-tastic when he conceded to Barack Obama. Really did a great job in congratulating Obama and the hard fought political battle that they went through together.

Obama vs McCain - November 4, 2008

Get out and vote today! Some polls have opened at 12:00 AM and will extend to the evening. It is highly recommended to vote earlier during the day. During the evening, the lines are expected to be longer as many are expected to vote after work. It is critical to participate in this historical event for our generation. This will affect us all and will determine the next four years of our lives. Get out and vote!

Happy Election Day!

LIVE UPDATE:

November 4, 2008 - Yes We Have!

Since February 2007, my best friend Lauren and I have followed Obama’s campaign trail.

10:20 PM EST - CNN’s live Election results are projecting close numbers for both candidates in the popular vote. However, as we all know, the Electoral College will determine our next President.

11:08 PM EST - CNN has declared Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America

There were times when I was criticized for believing in Obama but I never gave up hope.

From my blog postings, AIM away messages, mass emails to the Myspace and Facebook status updates - I have always stressed the importance of voting. Regardless of your color, Blue, Green or Red - THANK YOU FOR VOTING TODAY!

For the countless political talks (both drunken and sober), to the arguments I had with friends, family members and random strangers, I can officially say, “I told you so, Barack Obama will be on the general election ballot in November 2008 bitches!”

P.S. - My 21 year old cousin Steven volunteered to work the polls in Virginia today, my family rocks!

11:22 PM EST - Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America

With the election happening tomorrow, I was sent this little gem on Sarah Palin getting…well pretty much punked by a couple of fellow French Canadians.

She actually thinks the call is coming from French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The PR manager really botched this one up badly without confirming or checking the call first. In this prank call they tell Palin that she would make a good president, to which she replied “maybe in 8 years”. The pranksters even mentioned the porno “Nailin Pailin” and I’m not sure if she didn’t understand or just didn’t hear. A great reason as to why this woman should not be in office, cus let’s face it McCain ain’t gonna make it past 2 years if he becomes president.
