[Why All Hipsters Look The Same] (Viewer #129,652)
And yes, I think the host is completely missing the irony of sporting a scruffy beard, moussed hair, and faux-geek t-shirt while hosting this video.

And It’ll Create Jobs and Stop Global Warming, Too!
Democrat Congressmen are pressuring President Obama to issue an executive order to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Probably had the request dropped off at the White House by an unpaid intern.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
IMAGE SOURCES: Lots of great Obama pics to be found at the White House Flickr page.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
Glorious Conformity!
Criticizing US reporters, China’s President said “media outlets need to obey China’s laws and regulations”.
Considering the way American news outlets ignore Obama’s scandals, I think they do.

Shiny!
Serenity. Despite all the bailing wire and duct tape, it’s a thing of beauty, majestic in its own way. Sometimes, you can just sit and stare, wonder at it. It represents Freedom. The freedom to come and go as you please. The freedom to make port in one place, move some goods, collect some coin, and move on to another. The freedom to fly. Unfortunately, you’re not free to keep one of these things in your office or workspace – a Firefly-class transport ship weighs some 285,000 pounds, and is almost 270 feet long. Also, the outrigger turbine pods have a strong tendency to suck in people what stand too close to ’em. So you’ll have to settle for this ornament.
Add some Serenity to your Christmas tree with this ornament. 5 3/4″ long x 3 3/4″ wide, she’ll look just right nestled between the branches, as if she’s hiding from holiday Reavers. Shhh. They drink your nog and open your presents and tell all the kids that Santa doesn’t exist, and if you’re very, very lucky, they’ll do it in that order. No wait. Maybe we’re confusing Reavers with Uncle Bill.

Delusional
President Obama said that the “message” from this election is “people want to see this city work”.
No, they want it to get out of the way so the rest of the country can.

A Visual Guide to All 37 Villains in the Batman TV Series
Exit question: Which five Batman villains also appeared in at least one episode of Star Trek: the Original Series (there’s only five that I recognize – let me know if it’s actually more)

Fiscal Responsibility
A California solar company is requesting a $539 million federal grant to help pay off part of a $1.6 billion federal loan.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just make electricity by burning the money?

TV in a Nutshell
Wish We Could Get This Sort of Honesty Out of Obama
[Welcome to transparent banking] (Viewer #354,329)
Related to absolutely nothing, I noticed that Psy’s video Gangnam Style has over 2 *billion* views now.
It’s still not uplifting or enlightening, just peculiar. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not missing out – stay in the 5 billion.
Ship of Fools
In a post-election conference call to fellow Democrats, Nancy Pelosi asked to remain Minority Leader because “I know where the money is”.
In this case, in the hands of those from whom it is soon parted.
Obama “Helps” Ferguson
[High Praise! to Hope n’ Change Cartoons]
Yes, panels 2, 3, 4, and 5 are quotes from Obama’s Ferguson speech.
There’s also some good points made in the commentary at Hope n’ Change.
