do you think Abraham Lincoln would be able to win an election nowadays?

oats · 05-05-2014, 02:22 AM

not even really talking about political ability or viewpoints.

so I'm watching this documentary on breast cancer. and this chick talking is saying some righteous things, but she's got a noticeable mustache straight up. and all I'm thinking is, why didn't she shave that shit? it's not like she didn't know she was gonna be filming for a movie where her head would be the only thing on screen for her speaking portions. so I'm not even listening to her anymore because she's got a stache.

which got me thinking how being telegenic affects our perception of public figures. Lincoln was a top 5 president easy and overall beast of history, but he wasn't an attractive man. I wonder if even Honest Abe would be able to overcome that in this digital age.

1) We live in a world where money can make anyone at least SOMEWHAT presentable in front of the camera. I'm sure in our day and age he'd find a way.

2) What we find attractive changes with the times. In 1860 maybe people thought he was a dashing lad? and in 2300, people might think we were hideous beasts.

3) He killed vampires < scratch that, Rawn stole my joke

4) NEXT!

He'd prolly be tripped out by his face being on money.

I can't even apply modern logic to historical figures. Abe would prolly get a makeover, a convertible and be swimming in pussy.

Obama is ugly as fuck. When he burst onto the scene, 40 year old black women at my work were squirting coochie juice into infant Slip 'n Slides over that nigga.

It's all subjective bros.

In the future, democrats will be republicans

uh-oh · 05-05-2014, 12:21 PM

Agreed.

When I see how much they change history books now, I wonder how much shit was told to us that was wrong.

Now they saying "Honest Abe" liked to sleep with little boys.

In 100 years Michael Jackson will probably be on our currency.
