Deadspin received this video from last night’s debate recaps on Fox News where we finally learn what is inside the head of Mr. Met. Another HEAD! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! This could have been totally traumatic if any kids were watching, but it being Fox News, if kids were watching they are already brain damaged so… ZING!
It’s just so scary to see behind the curtains sometimes.

Because the World Series doesn’t start late enough, Barack Obama has asked for, and received approval from MLB and Fox to start any potential game 6 of the World Series fifteen minutes later. That’s because he’s purchased a half hour of airtime from Fox so that he can air a longer commercial for his campaign.
“Fox will accommodate Senator Obama’s desire to communicate with voters in this longform format,” Fox Sports said in a statement. “We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for Fox to carry his program on Oct. 29. If requested, the network would be willing to make similar time available to Senator McCain’s campaign.”
I for one hope it is like the old Ross Perot ad buys where it is a half hour full of lots of charts and graphs. Now THAT’S exciting television!
