11 Parodies I Made of the Obama Hope Poster
Published Friday, January 23, 2009 at 12:00:00 PM
Many people were surprised that I didn't do any list related to the inauguration on Tuesday. (I was focusing my attention on my "Lost" list. Priorities, you know?)
So I decided to do something for the Obama inauguration. And this is what happened.
Here are 11 spoofs and parodies I made of the iconic Obama "HOPE" poster. I know that other people have parodied this thing before, so I tried to make sure none of the parodies I made had been done before. Fortunately, some combination of my insanity, my love of wordplay and my strange, strange comedic world view allowed me to keep it all unique.

11 Points is a collection of exhaustively-researched, meticulously-written, theoretically-humorous 11-item lists, covering topics ranging from TV and movies to the Internet and video games to food and dating to politics and race relations.
It's all written by Sam Greenspan, a Midwest-born, classically-trained journalist who now tries to make a dollar out of 15 cents in Los Angeles. (It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent.)
