What's with the baseball card names/avatars? Were they handed out by mods or picked out by dedicated users?

There was a thread in GBS where you could request a name/avatar change to a baseball card that Lowtax ran for a while.

I don't even like baseball but I wouldn't mind being changed to Dock Ellis as long as the card had vibrating colors

This one is from the D&D PoliToons thread. It's right-wing shitheel and general thread nemesis Michael Ramirez's caricature of Barack Obama, which is affectionately called "Wormbama" by the thread, due to its being more similar to an annelid than to the president. Not entirely sure why someone thought it was worth tho.

More specifically, I believe that particular image is from the numerous times Ramirez cast Obama as Nero fiddling while the US burns, hence the leaf crown thing (I have no idea what it's called).

It's called a laurel. As for why somebody somebody bought it; the PoliToons thread does strange things to people.

That and every other Ramirez these days seems to be a drawing of Wormbama and the insistence that Oblammo is arrogant, out of touch, and pants on head stupid. The guy's entire career at the moment is just nonstop "Obama is a dummy lol."

I love poorly drawn caricatures of people in political cartoons. It's like, why do political cartoons even exist other than to be brushed over by people who don't read them? :allears:

edit: Well I guess I answered my own question, in a way they exist solely to be made fun of by non-idiots.

It's his super thick eyebrows, which are a very defining feature of Obama's.

Along with his giant lips, ears and stick insect like figure.

He recently drew a plane (he loves drawing planes) with Obama's campaign logo on the side dropping a bomb labeled "ebola". Great job, Mikey! :thumbsup:
