Alaska, pigs and clothes are all Palin references. The really unrealistic part is Obama picking up flags instead of throwing them away by the thousands as he did after he descended to his temple for anointment in Denver. Although, for the purposes of the game, it might be better if he just jumps on and tramples the American Flag at every opportunity. Bonus points for wiping the lipstick off the pigs.

@GreyHammer: I think it's a reference to "pork" politics, which Palin hypocritically condemned in many speeches. I think a bunch of disembodies ears running around would have been even more confusing.

As to the commiecentricity, there is actually a level in the game kin to the Star World in Super Mario World, but it's called the Crescent World instead. You have to nationalize the means of production in forty states before you can get to it.

@marginalia: He might have been kidding. I took the word "commiecentric" as a clue.

Pretty effing offensive to this Alaskan. I'm with the first poster: the hell does this have to do with scifi?

And where else can you find it? Try Digg.com, collegehumor.com, and ebaums world, among other sites.

@cash907: How, exactly, is this offending you? Are you offended by clothes? or by people picking up American flags?

Agreed; where else would I get this gem of news? Not on Politico or HuffPo.

In a world on fire, one man stands between us and the epic collapse of the Alaskan ecosystem...

See!? It sounds like a Sci-Fi Original Picture already! Starring Dean Cain!

@Fedaykin: Dean Cain would seem to be an odd casting choice for Obama. It's got to be someone with big ears. Paul Reubens, maybe?

@brucifer: Absolutely nothing. io9's sister blog Kotaku already covered this, back when it was more timely, and on a site where it was actually relevant to the blog topic.

This post is completely daft, and has about as much relevance to this site as a press release regarding the next series of 'American Girls' dolls.

@bakana: When is the next American girls dolls series coming out?

I hate when a blog tries to define itself to narrowly. Especially one that updates as frequently as Io9.
