Things younger than Republican Presidential candidate (oh, and did I forget to mention war hero?) John McCain

Am I being “age-ist”? Maybe. But maybe not. The world is a pretty complicated place right now and I’m thinking that it’s not such a great time to elect our oldest President ever. So sue me.

Video coming in a few days.

I’m working on a video that I’ll post here and on YouTube… hopefully by Friday.
If anyone out there knows the secret to having it get noticed amid all the videos of kids knocking down Christmas trees and dogs barking “Bohemian Rhapsody”, I’m all ears. You can leave a comment here or use the email link.
As always, thanks for listening.

Buy the book: "72 Things Younger Than John McCain"

  1. I think you’ll get quite a bit of traffic for the video based on your already existing audience here on the blog. Some of us will likely blog it, so on a purely unscientific hunch, I’d say that the video will find its way through the clutter.

    One thing you can do is “respond” to another popular video dealing with a related topic, i.e., a John McCain campaign video, a popular parody video. Of course if you can find footage of John McCain singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” while knocking down his X-mas tree, you’ll have the Best Video Evah!

  2. Make sure you make it easy for people to Digg it up, submit it on Fark, and so on and so forth. The more Diggs you’ve got, the more views you’ll get, which may fuel the Diggs, which gets more views, and eventually you rule the planet. Or something.

  4. Somehow work in “Barack Obama” as a tagline.

    But Chuck is right, you will probably be fine.

  5. Awesome site.

    The Cold War (generally believed to have started 1945-46, around the time of Churchill’s iron curtain speech, and to have roots in WWII) is younger than John McCain, and it’s _dead_. Although the Soviet Union was twenty years older.

    (This is in response to his saying that Iran’s a bigger threat than Russia was (or that Obama’s wrong for saying it isn’t). There is no universe in which that is true.)

  7. Your site would make a great theme for a political attack ad.

    A montage of whatever’s older than McCain.

    A black and white nuclear blast accompanied by “PLUTONIUM!” to reference the devastating Daisy ad.
