20 Ways They Could Make The Debates Actually Worth Watching

article image

No matter who you're voting for, all of us can unite behind the fact that the first two Presidential debates have been boring as hell. The campaigns are so scared of actual drama that they turn the debates into tightly-controlled snooze-fests.

So what can they do to make them worth watching again? We asked you to Photoshop for us a debate format that would actually be worthy of our time and attention. The winner is below, but first, the runners-up:

Want in on this?

You'll have another chance. This week's theme is:

The 2008 Election, as Drawn By a Five Year-Old.

Children are stupid. We know it's not their fault, but it doesn't stop us from laughing at them. Over the past month, these adorable little idiots have been inundated with the same election coverage as you: the important economic issues, the less important stuff we actually pay attention to, the VP candidates and their folksy personalities. What do those headlines mean to a child? Fire up Photoshop (or, even better, MS Paint) and show us how they'd draw it.

If anything, they need a pimp doing the moderating. They he can be all like "Palin, b***h, shut yo ass up or I put you into a wheelchair upside down. What, you don't know what I'm talkin' bout?" Then he shows her this *nsfw*

if only #9 and #2 could work together

Okay, so we've learned that no matter how boring or stupid it is, if you submit a GIF, it's likely to win. This is what, like the 5th GIF to win? Seriously Cracked, GIFs aren't that hard to create, stop rewarding the people with stupid ideas just because they can make John McCain headbang.

#9 should have won.

Number 9 was awesome. I would watch the debates if those guys were rippin on the candidates the whole time.

Posted on 10/16/2008 3:11:49 PM

Oh MY GOD!!! # 2 was the clear winner... I'm laughing so hard that I will actually use it as my wallpaper

Posted on 10/16/2008 2:16:17 PM

#9 HAS to happen. Could you imagine the candidates talking about the issues and in-between those guys making wisecracks?

Posted on 10/16/2008 9:55:35 AM

#2 gets all my love.

Posted on 10/16/2008 9:16:15 AM

I literally laughed out loud at number 9 and number 2....man. Those need to happen. Maybe during the next election...

Posted on 10/16/2008 8:56:36 AM

#2 wins in my book. I miss MST3k. Thank god for the DVD's.

Very funny, cracked readers, bravo! Excellent contest.
Almost as funny as Murtha saying Obama will have a problem with racists.
Kind of ignoring the fact that over 80% of the African American will vote for Obama because of the color of his skin.
I'd say McCain is going to have a problem with racists.

Number 2 f'ing rocks! The photo ranked the second also rocks!
