Unknown Speaker 00:09 democracy collusion sweeps America as puppet show reaches climax record oil profits bombing continues Africa in turmoil but who gives a fuck? In the UK sylphy phone message not left on Queen's answering machine Hello pinnacles of sentient life. Welcome to the fucking news.
I fully clothed tonight's top stories as the American election draws to a close we take a straw poll of voters asking them Obama or McCain. who really gives a fuck which one of these corporate asks looking puppets is elected by a nation of doomed consumers to preside over their fading Empire mountain of debt, fake war on terror and economic tyranny? Here are a random cross section of voters, world leaders and evil extraterrestrial aliens on who should be the next puppet of America will you know.
we want Obama to win because he'd been really good for our membership applications to join our crazy racist nut job organization have gone through the roof, just from him being a candidate. If he becomes president, we expect a further boost to our cause, as well as the opportunity to kill him Unknown Speaker 01:22 in a violent and public execution.
Shy power. I mean white power. I'll be voting for McCain Palin. These people owe me and Dick Cheney their entire political lives.
And we have filmed them in compromising position with a baby moose and a tub of margerine. That means they get elected my dad and his hunter of evil fascist corporate folks will still be able to fuck America over and send you the bill. Unknown Speaker 01:52 Good.
Oh, I'm Josie deburr I'll be voting for the 31 than the man who gave me a lollipop. I like lollipops and the party woman. She's so soft and nice and smelling. I would like to stroke her hair and love her and squeezer and cuddle her.
Unknown Speaker 02:10 She's so pretty. I hate that other guy. He kills children.
And he works for Al Capone. Al Pacino. Unknown Speaker 02:20 keiki breaky hearts.
Al Qaeda. Unknown Speaker 02:26 Anyways, Unknown Speaker 02:26
unlike lollipops, Unknown Speaker 02:29 I'll be voting for Obama who's intelligent, articulate, sophisticated, and I like to hear the argument for continuing to fuck up the planet just to make rich people richer. Put to me by someone with those qualities.
It lends a certain gravitas to the absurd, unsustainable pointlessness of our way of life that the other puppet simply doesn't have. Hello and poor imperialist American Inc. Dog. Ah, we don't give a fuck which one of you shopkeeping?
Patsy frontman shills, your leg hall you could elect Oprah Winfrey or Arnold Schwarzenegger for all we care. You owe us so much money we own your ass No matter whose face you paint on it, or your head is gone. Like either one. It makes no difference to your future of delusion debt, economic slavery, religious oppression, cultural poverty and poorly educated ignorance.
Our current polls show Obama's lead varies between unbeatable non existent and likely to disappear on election day, with many news organizations priming people for a surprise, McCain victory orchestrated by the CIA. Some people are concerned at the prospect of this likely election fraud. Other people couldn't give a task and some actually think it would be better if our shadowy puppet masters chose our leaders for us.
So there's nothing troubling to think about it before the NFL kicks off again. Well, whatever happens this time next week, we'll know who replaces bush in the White House as America's puppet leader Barack Obama, the man who's funded by huge corporations and backed by Israel and the Rothschilds for John McCain, the man backed by Israel and the Rothschilds and funded by huge corporations. More on that story.
More on that story. More on that story later. Exxon Mobil third quarter income a new record of 15 billion at least 61 killed in blasts in northeast India. 1000s of Syrians protest that US rates are killed nine Congo Exodus as terror spreads 29 killed in coordinated car bombings in Somaliland Earth on course for eco crunch free kale causes flood chaos Arctic ice thickness plummets warning as seabird breeding fails deadly blasts rock Indian states warning on dire Iraq conditions Westbank farmer killed by troops militants fire rocket from Gaza everything will cease to exist.
One day, but who really gives a fuck I know I don't be affairs of humans are trivial, irrelevant pitch as significant and important in the grand scale of the universe as an oyster Fox in the Pacific Ocean. Humans may be worried about their faith, their planet, their lives, but nothing else is at all anywhere. So put on some music give us a big grin and let's have a dance shall we? Remember, nothing pisses fascists off Borg and people enjoying themselves.
So let's really push them off. Come on, enjoy. What's left of it, smile be nice to each other. Even the Nazi punks.
You won't join us in the dads. You know, you want to cut off on Unknown Speaker 05:40 high and April shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change that to when I'm back on top, back on top in June. I said that's live. Unknown Speaker 05:58 In the UK members of the public I'm not outraged by messages top BBC presenters Jonathan toss, and Russell bland didn't leave on the Queen's answerphone.
Then a guest appearance on Russell blondes radio to show Rossen glands did not leave the following suggestive and inappropriate messages on Her Majesty the Queen's message service. Allah Your Majesty, I'm sure fascist families inherited dominion over the landless peasants of Britain going, you know. I hear you laugh yourself to sleep every night at the pathetic mass of servile war bonds who've fallen over your existence claiming it's our heritage, our fucking heritage to be landless peasants in our own fucking country.
while a family of fascist fucks in their aristocratic wanker friends on all the important land and business control government through inbreeding and the old boy networks what fuck he laughs I've got Russell Brand here. He's a rehab snack addict with a jaunty lifestyle. He's got a message for us. Well, hello, Your Majesty, Harry Krishna.
I just like to say I've shared your corgis. Well, one of them anyway, the good looking one. Do you let them have your leg? I'm just wondering Your Majesty, because it's a lovely leg.
A leg like that to rule over most of the country with just half a sovereign pussy on its own. But, goodness Jonathan. Obviously, if both halves of the policy were intact, the country would fall under the spell of your sexual juices just like ants and bees do for their queens by Her Majesty is said not to be deeply upset by the messages which were not left and no legal action is being considered. Thanks.
And now for the weather. Freak storms of controversy in the UK in the wake of filthy clothes messages not made to the royal family. Clouds of voter fraud likely in America most of next week with a chance of violent civil unrest to follow. Have a nice weekend.
Themes in this episode
Analysis essay
This 30 October 2008 episode comes in the final week before the Obama–McCain election, with polls generally showing Obama ahead nationally but memories of 2000 and 2004 keeping fears of surprise, suppression, and fraud alive. The financial crash was still dominating the campaign, oil companies were reporting enormous profits despite economic pain, and the Iraq/Afghanistan war machine continued in the background. The UK line about a “phone message” points to the Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross scandal, in which obscene messages left for Andrew Sachs became a huge BBC controversy — Deek jokingly reroutes it to the Queen’s answering machine.
The parody is an election-night vox pop before the election has even happened. Deek stages voters, racists, Bush/Cheney cronies, confused children, foreign creditors, and aliens all giving reasons why the choice is fake. Obama is mocked as intelligent and articulate enough to make imperial capitalism sound respectable; McCain-Palin are mocked as the continuation of Bush, corporate fascism, war, and grotesque culture-war stupidity. The racial slur in the headline is not an endorsement but a brutal reference to the racism surrounding Obama’s candidacy.
Recurring FKN themes dominate: democracy as puppet theater, presidents as frontmen, debt slavery, fake war on terror, corporate rule, and the dying American empire. Deek’s target is not simply McCain or Obama but the belief that voting changes ownership. China or foreign creditors “own your ass,” banks own the future, and the public chooses only the face painted on the machine. Even Obama’s historic candidacy is treated as another layer of delusion: the empire may get a better speaker, but the bombing, shopping, debt, and planetary destruction continue.
