Christopher Walken For President

Gahid · 10-08-2006, 02:40 PM

It seems Christopher Walken is really running for president. His website (www.walken2008.com) gives a very ambiguous impression of his political views. This little quip tells it like it is:

To: Friends, Family, and my fellow Americans
Subject: Get America Back On Track!

It's not too early to be thinking about the future of this country and who's going to lead it. Election after election we're given the "choice" between two unappealing candidates and have no choice but to vote for the one we dislike less. But now, that's about to change.
Stepping up to the forefront of politics is a new type of leader, motivated by his love for his country, not special interest groups. His distinct image and captivating voice you already know, and now it's your chance to make him the leader of the people, for the people, by the people. That's right... Christopher Walken is running for President.

Now, at this early stage of the campaign, is when the grass-roots voters like us can really influence the candidates we'll see in the elections. So take a few minutes to visit the Walken 2008 Home Page at http://www.walken2008.com, read about the man and his ideas, and send them a message of your support. This is how the system should work, and now's your chance to have your voice. Don't let it slip away!

Sincerely,
-A caring citizen

It seemed a little sketchy, and if I had found the site over the internet I wouldn't have believed it, but there were fliers circulating around downtown Portland, Oregon, so I figured it was real.

The "Walken for President" web sites were actually the communal product of members of an Internet forum who opted to launch a faux celebrity presidential campaign as a prank.

... Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Well, me obviously.

I think the ultimate joke would be a real-seeming well-funded movement to change the Constitution back to where Presidents could serve unlimited terms. In order to re-elect George Bush for another term.
