Justice for Trayvon Martin: Mitt Romney to the rescue

Mitt Romney features Trayvon Martin in justice-oriented ad campaign.

On the evening of February 26th, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman inside a gated Sanford, Florida community where he was living with his father, stepmother and little brother.

More recently, in an effort to court black voters (which, contrary to the assertions of Newt Gingrich, means to try and woo them)… Mitt Romney released the attached set of pictures — mock-ups for a potential ad campaign tentatively titled, “flip the script” — in order to gauge the public’s response.

(As CFAAP.com is one of the blogs being used to gauge, please let us know what you think.)

According to Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, the FTS campaign will attempt to promote two central conceits.

They are as follows:

One – Mitt Romney is an everyman.

Two – If Mitt Romney had a son, he would look like an amalgamation of all the murdered minorities of the past 10 years.

Should reception to the campaign be positive, Sauls hinted that Romney will consider tattooing a likeness of Trayvon on his chest — possibly with the intention of revealing it for the general electorate during an upcoming presidential debate.

Romney stated that if a Latino child were killed, he would consider taking similar action.

Romney is believed to be unconcerned with Muslims.

Per Sauls, Mitt Romney will be appearing Friday at Coachella with the Tupac hologram.

Herman Cain vs Prominent Muslims Series: Herman Cain vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Herman Cain battles prominent Muslim Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as we return to CFAAP’s most popular series!

We’re still working through the backlog, and next up is a return to the once oh-so-promising series: “Herman Cain vs. Prominent Muslims.”

In case you missed the first…

HC v. Muhammad Ali.

Sadly, due to the unforeseen and semi-impractical lawsuit that has slowed the rocket-like take off of this blog, the “Herman Cain vs. Prominent Muslims” series may be left in the end an unfinished work (unless Herman Cain can beat off Chris Christie and Paul Ryan for the 2016 nomination — unlikely because Herman left things a bit of a mess + the majority of RNC members are contractually incapable of beating off anyone or anything.)

In closing:

Herman,

The day your ended your candidacy for President of the United States, my world got a little blacker.

I think I speak for everyone short of Sharon Bialek when I say that I miss you.

I miss you a lot.

To the only guy in the history of American politics to quote Pokemon with a reverence usually reserved for MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech…

Godspeed Herman Cain.

Wherever you are, whoever you're in... Godspeed.

Luke Harangody dunks the ball in Space!

Luke Harangody can dunk a basketball in space.

Nice tan Harangody...

Also, he's black.

- Courtesy of my racist cousin Adam, now 2 for 2.

(Editor's note/note that Adam's mom made me type: He's not really racist; he's seven. Also, this time I may have had some influence in the black Harangody. And by "had some influence," I mean that I told my cousin to draw the Irish guy black so as to continue the amusing trend of racial errors in his work. Thanks for contributing, Adam. You're awesome, and we look forward to your upcoming piece, "Asian Dan Gilbert," which will be featured on the blog in a few weeks.)

CFAAP: Antawn Jamison dunks the ball in space!

Antawn Jamison dunks the ball in space!

From Cavs: the Blog:

I promise an extravaganza (and/or a normal cartoon) next week to make up for this.

A last minute scheduling conflict nearly derailed this week’s entry…but fear not. My always wanting to help out, super-awesome, 6-year-old cousin Adam has agreed to contribute this guest-submission of his favorite player Antawn Jamison to Drawings from the Notebook of Chris Grant.

Antawn Jamison looks pasty...

I count two major errors.

……………………….

Check out the picture blog at CFAAP.com. (Our membership has grown by 200% in the last week alone…which bolsters our ranks to a hefty seven. So basically, the glass is half-full, but it’s a two-inch glass.)
