Solid parody? Of what?

I'm guessing it's a parody of an HRC campaign ad. I'm glad three people ahead of me don't get it, because I don't get it either.

Hillary Clinton is an old crone

Actually, now that I see the barackobamaisyournewbicycle version, it's pretty funny.

I got most of them. But why do the sites have "isyournewbike" in the title?

The Hillary lines reminded me of that Adam Sandler song, "Steve Polychronopolous." Poor old Hil.

"Hillary Clinton means yes when she says no"?

That's a little creepy.

Michigan's Kevin Porter is the leading scorer in collegiate hockey. Why is it funny that Hillary Clinton isn't voting for him for the Hobey Baker award?

I second Ryan's point about "means yes when she says no." Up until that point, it's mildly amusing, and then wham, here's a vaguely offensive joke about her being a woman. It's all fun and games until you make jokes about raping a U.S. Senator.

Well, hell, how about "Hillary Clinton helped get your cousin killed in Iraq". Ha ha.

Matt, you have poor taste. I'm sorry.

It's worth pointing out that the phrases rotate randomly, so it's possible Matt didn't even see the offending phrases (I clicked through about two dozen times and never saw them).

I think you're misinterpreting the "means yes when she says no" one. It's more like, "Do you wanna go to the movies?" "No.(Yes.)" Or, alternatively, "Are you really not mad?" "No.(Yes.)"

For what it's worth, I think both sites are very funny.

Some of the statements were funny, some weren't.

And it's reaching to see that "means yes" line as a rape reference. None of the rest of the statements, except possibly "did not respond to your poke", could be considered sexist either. Possibly the line "thinks sexy never left" could be considered even pro-Hillary - or something.

Clearly the whole thing is intended to suggest that things people don't like about other people is embodied in Hillary Clinton.

Which would be true of anyone, so I'm not surprised if there's an Obama and McCain version.

It's a Rorschach test for site visitors.
