Depends to sponsor Democratic Underground
Hygiene product maker Kimberly-Clark recently announced a new, major banner ad tie-in with the political website Democratic Underground. In the near future, all discussion boards on DU will feature a floating banner ad for Depend adult incontinence underwear.

In making the announcement, Kimberly-Clark spokesman I.P. Freely stated, "We figured far more people had problems with incontinence than our typical customers. So when I had an intern Google 'peed in my pants' or 'peed just a little', and the first 1000 hits all linked to Democratic Underground message threads, I knew we'd hit a goldmine."

Reached for comment, DU Uber-Admin Skinner said, "This is the best day of my life. With the additional ad revenue, we can stop all of the quarterly funding drives. Hell, I've just advised all of the moderators to stop locking threads until November 2008. In addition, for a small percentage of the cut, the moderators will create bogus accounts and post 'Hillary is a racist' and 'Obama is sexist' threads every 12 hours in every major category. At this rate, I might retire before summer."

When asked about the possibility of a similar campaign at DU's direct opposite, Free Republic, whose members void their bowels, bleed from their eyes, and spit bile at the mere mention of the name "Clinton", Mr. Freely stated, "We approached their administrators, and were told, quote, 'they prefer to stew in their own filth.'"

8. There is an upside to this
If we laugh so hard we crap our pants, we now have a sponsor.
