I'm not an image guy. I work in words. This came into my mind earlier today and I just had to write it.

It's only my second attempt at satire. I'd love to hear what you all think about it. I posted it earlier, but I think it passed down the list so fast no one had a chance to see it.

Ken Doll announces his intention to run for the Office of President of the United States in 2008. Does not name Party.



Odd Squad News
February 22, 2006

Married to his long time sweetheart, Barbie Doll, Ken is a soft-spoken, cheerful fellow with a youthful smile and plenty of enthusiasm. Ken Doll has made his mark on the world as part of his wife's historic merchandising and marketing campaign that catapulted them to prominence very early in their careers.

He is not likely to be a front runner, in that though his name recognition is very high, very little is known about his personal life and political views.

Ken states that his qualifications for the Office are unique enough to merit serious consideration as a candidate.

-Ken has flexible joints, as to be more easily manipulated.

-Ken is anatomically incorrect, which precludes any involvement in Oval Office intern penis parties.

-Ken is a relatively young man at 45, allowing him to connect well with youthful voters.

-He has never done drugs or drank alcohol.

-He has no legal record whatsoever.

-He's copyrighted and trademarked.

-He has no connections with lobbyists or other Beltway insiders.

-His head is formed of solid rubber, which suggests he would be more intelligent than the current Resident of the White House.

"America grew up with me," he says with a smile, "and has done so much for me and Barbie. I just want to give something back."

1. Well done!!!!
I love the way you've made Ken Doll so REAL, so approachable, so intelligent -- so representative of everything BUSH ISN'T!

Good piece of satire!
