Inside Jon Stewart's Book, Earth: A Visitor's Guide To The Human Race.




Jon Stewart's newest book hit the stores yesterday. Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race is his highly anticipated follow-up to mega-hit America (The Book) Teacher's Edition: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction



The man behind the best-selling America (The Book), Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart asks: Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? Questions that have puzzled us since the dawn of time. But when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture -- all bound in a 256 page book with lots of color photos, graphs and charts.



With eye catching page designs by Pentagram, this definitive guide to our species is filled with Jon's trademark sense of humor. Nothing is sacred and everything is hilarious. From captions under images to the appendices, the book is filled with wit, sarcasm and style. Here's a look at many of the spreads, crops and images (not in actual order) from this fun and fabulous new trendy tome.

Obama Loses By One Vote: Blame Your Friends With This Customizable Video by MoveOn™



Above: It's all my fault.

In an effort to get people out and voting (and in this case, for Obama), this hilarious mock newscast blames the loss on a single non-voter. A customizable non-voter to boot.



All you do is fill in a name and the newscast blames he or she for Obama's loss by one single vote, watch below:



The mock newscast is laden with hilarious knocks at the intended target complete with accompanying articles.



Now go make one! And don't forget to vote!
Special thanks to Andrea Goldman for bringing this brilliant piece of viral propaganda to my attention!

Wassup... For Obama.

The Wassup guys are back- 8 years later, in a world of tumbling markets, inane wars, natural disasters, unemployment and unaffordable health care.

60Frames works with talented artists to create, original internet programming. This week they're featuring "Wassup 2008" (not at all affiliated with Anheuser Busch. ) Ah, how soon the state of the world can change.



Special thanks to Tricia Ting for bringing this to my attention.
