Those darn Infomercials
I challenge ANYBODY, doesn't matter how good or bad of an artist you think you are, to draw a character or your character in a terrible Infomercial. I want to create a whole series of this!!
Remember when you would turn on the television and something like this would play and it would go something like:
How many times do you try to pour soda with your ass and completely ignore gravity and it just won’t work? Well we have the product just for you!
Those commercials were hilarious and so over exaggerated and a friend reblogged on Tumblr a whole slew of terrible Informercial gifs that spurred me to draw this.

Not that I disagree in principle, but bear in mind that corruption bears no political allegiance; eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and all that jazz.
Hm. Maybe I'm a little thick, but I wonder what prompted the Obama grunt in the first place. Was he recently caught on video struggling with the complicated functionality of a blanket, grimacing in frustration at a blender, or scalding himself while attempting to cook spaghetti?

First off, I'm Canadian. Secondly, I am out of a job, most likely permanently in the standardized lockstep buyer's market which big business has created in the labour market, and resultantly I live substantially below the LICO and may in fact understand a thing or two about poverty rather intimately. Thirdly, Romney isn't/wasn't a train wreck so much as a large scale derailment of an unsecured high explosives shipment; essentially the only people who do not understand this are an unpleasantly large number of Americans, and a few members of remote tribal villages in South Africa.
The Democrats may (or may not) be less dirty than the Republicans, but things aren't as cut and dried as you seem to believe. Obama's administration isn't very popular around the world right now on account of some unlawful spying shenanigans, for example; just the sort of thing we all really hated about Bush. What I am saying is this: Your civic duty does not end with an "X" written on a ballot and stuffed into a box every few years. You must stand watch and actively interfere with poor administrative decisions, regardless of party. Nobody's perfect.

The phrase "nothing to hide" is one of the most obscene, offensively fallacious notions to ever grace the Internet. Unless you're genuinely okay with the idea of your neighbour reading your cyber sex logs or your mother scrutinizing your credit card transactions please do not ever use it again; at the very least, do not inflict it upon people who value privacy.
Canada has, up to this point, enjoyed a lack of violent terrorist activity. America has stepped on a lot more toes, but even so, I question just how prevalent the danger really is. You hear lots and lots about attacks being prevented, but prior to 2001 they were something that happened in America maybe once every ten years. Suspicious, I say. You look at cases of gunmen who publicly announce their upcoming killing sprees but go unnoticed by authorities until bodies start piling up, and can you really believe that domestic (and, more to the point, foreign) spying is effective? Terrorism is a bogeyman which has been abused as propaganda for over a decade now, built up into a towering paranoia which America uses to justify illegal wars and surveillance; these wars subsequently drain the US tax coffers into private military contractors and arms manufacturers which are owned by "the rich" which you previously mentioned. If the American government was serious about global stability and preventing acts of terrorism they'd put their money into building bridges instead of blowing them up, but that just isn't on the private plutocracy's itinerary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projec.....erican_Century
Canada isn't immune to corruption, by the way. We're currently facing our greatest threat in over 200 years as our duly unelected neoconservative administration abuses archaic legislation and strategic political alliances to completely and illegally circumvent our democratic process in decisions which stand to disembowel our economy, environment and social progress, with no sign that they will relinquish power should we ever manage to definitively annul their leadership and legally elect another party. Liberty is fleeting if it is not defended against psychopathic exploiters.
