The mysterious Internet group Anonymous may have pulled one of their greatest antics yet. They have just released this audio of an apparent phone-tapped conversation between the FBI and the British Scotland Yard. Ironically, the sensitive, and obviously classified conversation was about Anonymous itself. Read more on Guardian, Mashable, and WashingtonPost.
About a month ago, Fox News made headlines when they tried to claim that The Muppets and the new Muppets movie was part of some secret liberal agenda to brainwash children. Well the lovable and world famous Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog fought back at a recent UK press conference following the London Premiere of the new Muppets film.
Kermit explains that their film had nothing against oil companies as they frequently drive a “gas guzzler” in the film. Miss Piggy hit even harder, and added, “It [calling the film liberal propaganda] is almost as laughable as accusing Fox News as, you know, uh, being news.”
Update 1/31/12: CNN covers the viral video.
AmericansElect created this hilarious political parody of the now famous Sh*t Girls Say fad to bring light to what our election system has become. Politicians on both sides seem to all have the same message: Elect me and I’ll fulfill your wildest dreams. Of course, once elected, things always seem to stay the same, or even get worse…
Strange and peculiar political ads online are nothing. Without the need for a big budget to pay to run a TV commercial, campaigns are free to literally just go nuts with an Internet one.

At the Fox News/Google Republican Presidential debate back in September, a gay soldier asked the candidates if they plan on circumventing the positive progress for LGBT soldiers serving their country, and some audience members booed the soldier.
Later, President Obama gave a speech at the Human Rights Campaign dinner rebuking the candidates. Dankavanaugh created this mash up of the two events in October, but, as the political field is really heating up in this election year, the video only went viral now.
