Sinfest's "Notes from the Resistance"

Sinfest is one of my favorite webcomics. Not because its a gaming comic (it isn't), or that it has a great plot (not horrible, but nothing long and amazing), but because it is not only funny but also very good at looking at American culture with a clever eye. There are strips in there that are awesome, basically because the maker of the strip can be funny and serious at the same time, looking at the issues of today in clever ways.

Besides, it's funny! And yet occasionally serious...

Anyway, on the front page the maker of Sinfest, Tatsuya Ishida, has a little section he calls "Notes from the Resistance", where he engages in funny, and often sarcastic, commentary. This is what he has on there right now:

New reality shows slated for the fall season:
· The Candidate. George W. Bush and John Kerry spend a whole month together in a mansion filled with lobbyists. Who will get in bed with whom? Don't miss the sizzling behind the scenes deal-making. Each episode concludes with both candidates handing out long-stemmed roses to their favorite special interest groups.
· The Apprentice of The Dark Side. The evil Emperor must choose among several aspiring Sith Lords, all vying for the coveted job of "Darth Executive," in charge of overseeing construction of the Deathstar. Each round eliminates a contestant with the famous tagline "You're fired," and is then zapped with lightning and thrown off a ledge to his infernal doom.
· Aramaic Idol. The nation wide search for the next messiah. Come put your healing powers to the test and go head to head with other saviours and miracle workers for the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever amen. Produced by Mel Gibson.
· CNN Cribs: News Anchor Edition. Paula Zahn gives a sneak peek of her kickin' pad in the O.C., all West Coast flava y'all cuz the bitch is mad bangin' wit the bling bling, know what I'm saying? Holla!
