Last Tuesday, I watched NBC’s coverage of the election in HD on my new TV. The widescreen LCD format allowed me to see electoral vote tickers on either side of the screen for both candidates while Tom Brokaw and Ann Curry talked about vote tallies state-by-state.

This was entertaining and certainly not because the election was neck-and-neck. I couldn’t imagine being more entertained now that I had seen how thin Brokaw’s hair has become in high definition. After Obama won, I realized one thing: I could watch a brick wall in HD. However, I found election coverage online that was far more entertaining than anything I could find on television.

Collegehumor.com posted a video right before the election hypothesizing what the country would be like if we had McCain or Obama as president. Both takes on the election are extremely exaggerated, but the video pokes fun at the idea of the right wing and the left. The video depicts a child going to school and returning home in a conservative world and then in a more liberal world.

The democrats are shown burning flags in classrooms and incorporating Mexico into the United States. Meanwhile, the republicans install big brother-esque cameras in homes and they incorporate “Wal-Martia” into the U.S.

The makers of the video are not biased at all; if anything, they’re equal opportunity offenders. They play with stereotypes and clichés brilliantly and with dialogue like “you’ll be tested on all these tests in the test test next week,” this video is golden. To use funnyordie lingo, it’s immortal.

Speaking of the election, here’s an article on GPS lingerie. That’s right, even though there’s no connection at all, I thought I’d let you all know some genius out there has invented lingerie that can be tracked anywhere using a GPS becon.

Some have accused the maker of the lingerie as creating a modern day chastity belt and intruding on people’s privacy. Others say it’s a great idea to wear it so husbands and boyfriends know where their significant others are at all times. I say, if your wife or girlfriend is wearing sexy lingerie and is so far away from you they need GPS installed, you have bigger problems than the controversy over GPS lingerie.

Last but not least, we have a video dedicated to making David Lee Roth look ridiculous. Normally, one could simply sit Roth in front of a camera and that would be all she wrote, but the author of the clip came up with an ingenious way to make him look (or sound) stupid.

The author of the video managed to take Van Halen’s “Runnin’ With the Devil” and strip it of everything but Roth’s vocals. If you can’t imagine that, just picture a crazy homeless guy screaming and babbling at the top of his lungs, or as the music industry calls it, David Lee Roth’s singing voice.
