In honor of the Obama inauguration, here are some parodies of his iconic “Hope” poster.

Many people were surprised that I didn’t do any list-related to the inauguration on Tuesday. (I was focusing my attention on my Lost list. Priorities, you know?)

So I decided to do something for the Obama inauguration. And this is what happened.

Here are 11 spoofs and parodies I made of the iconic Obama “HOPE” poster. I know that other people have parodied this thing before, so I tried to make sure none of the parodies I made had been done before. Fortunately, some combination of my insanity, my love of wordplay and my strange, strange comedic world view allowed me to keep it all unique.
