Which Candidate Would You Vote For? (Possibly image-heavy)

[One Radical Dude]

Count me in as part of the "undecided" crowd!

True enough. But then again, he does have a remarkably wholesome and well-toned body for a skeleton, which is an impressive enough feat within itself, so naturally he gets my vote.

That may strike you as being somewhat shallow reasoning, as well as a horrible abuse of suffrage, but really, it blew my mind when recently I caught a couple of He-Man episodes for the first time in ages and realised just how amazingly macho that big old bag of bones really was. He's at least got the image nailed down to a tee. Now, if we could just do something about those eerie empty eye sockets...

Actually, can that. I want the Scotch Video skeleton for president (or at least prime minister). No reason why he should be made to die out just because VHS has: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL4obo3oFxc

That's the sad thing, in the last series of He-Man I ever saw, Skeletor had gone a bit camp like a 60s Batman villain. Btw have you heard the M&W sketch where Adam goes to the doctor because of a back-strain he's aquired lifting He-Man's Sword to become He-Man? Obviously as He-Man the sword isn't any problem but Adam is of course a regular man not a He-Man.

As regards the Scotch Tape fella, there's an exhibit in the Australian National museum in Sydney very much inspired by that ad.

Really? Oh shoot, I never made the time to go and visit the Australian National Museum during my own such trip Down Under. Hopefully they won't have disassembled that exhibit when I make my much-anticipated return (unlikely to be in the very near future).

That's too bad about Skeletor, but then again I wouldn't exactly deem He-Man the most camp-free cartoon I've ever seen, even in the earliest days. In fact, when I recently caught it again, I wasn't sure whether to react with endearment or disgust at just how overwhelming corny the dialogue and execution all were. What finally charmed me over to the former reaction was how much time Skelly and his sidekicks seemed to spend holding hands with one another, at least in one or two of the episodes I saw. There was clearly a lot of closeness amongst those evildoers.

As far as villains go, I'll vote for good (bad) ol' Megs. The whole "peace through tyranny" angle is something he's never wavered from. Plus the bot keeps some very stylish company in the form of Soundwave and Shockwave.

[fosters home fan]

I'd vote for BOWSER!

[koosie]

Oh I'm glad that Bowser got a vote. I'd hate there to be an element of anti-Reptilian slant on the results. I'd really thought he'd do well though I only know him from Mariocart where he was no more evil than Donkey Kong.

It's the big vote that's got America and the world talking.

[taranchula]

I am not too wild about any of the choices.

So here are some write in candidates.

[Sparky]

Lol at this.

[GrimTheLost]

I would have voted Bowser, but I have a write in candidate:
