29 December 2007Repelling the Ronulan EmpireIt looks like they'll be busy in Azeroth for a while:
Republican presidential candidate Pon Farr's [not his real name] internet regiment has come to World of Warcraft — a group of his supporters are planning to form a guild on Whisperwind and do a march from IF to Stormwind ... on New Year's Day at 8:30pm EST.
To E. M. Zanotti, this explains much:
World of Warcraft, if we aren’t mistaken, is centered around a lot of killing, and this is an ample opportunity to take out certain feelings of frustration with Paultards [her word, not mine] through wholly legal mutilation.
And there's this possible vulnerability:
Also, we can rest easy knowing that a key requirement to be a Pon Farr [still not his real name] supporter is not having a girlfriend, which explains why they have so much time to spam stuff and so much apparently disposable income.
I should point out that this doesn't work in reverse: there's no evidence to support "unlucky in love, lucky in delegate selection," which is just as well, because if there were I'd have done at least one keynote speech at a convention by now.

But hey, it's the morons down at the bar who determine who wins the election. |
