STREWTH! The Michael Palin for President campaign is off to a roaring start. The campaign video, launched the same night the OTHER Palin delivered her "you haven't actually nominated me yet but I'll accept your nomination anyway" speech, has now been seen by MORE THAN 200,000 PEOPLE. According to ViralVideoChart and several other sources, we're one of the most-viewed videos in the world over the last week. The Palin for President video has also been featured in blogs on the Los Angeles Times website and the Obama-Biden website, along with hundreds ofothers all over the web. (We even got a call from CNN!) Best of all, the official Monty Python site, Pythonline.com, is currently featuring the video as one of its lead stories.
Viewer response has been almost universally positive, with an avalanche of requests for bumper stickers and campaign buttons coming in. (We're workin' on it!) Of course the opposition has been heard from as well, offering such insightful and considered political discourse as "If you have a child, I hope he dies in a car fire!" and "F--k your video and f--k you!" Apparently we've hit a nerve.
But now is not the time for complacency. As has been suggested recently (we forget where) this election is not about the candidates. It's about YOU. You may not know it, but because you signed up for this newsletter and accepted your free fuzzy thing, you are now a de facto member of the Committee to Elect Michael Palin President (also known as the Silly Party).
AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
With only two months to go before the election, there are a number of things you can do to help YOUR candidate...
--SPREAD THE WORD by sending everyone you know to: MICHAEL PALIN FOR PRESIDENT
--ENGAGE IN SOCIAL DEBATE by rubbing Fuzzy Things on Republicans.
--ENGAGE IN CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE by doing Silly Walks in government buildings.
But the big question on everyone's mind is...
