Ferengi opposition candidate

A Finnish member of parliament is aiming for re-election by campaigning with a translation of his Web site into Klingon.

“Some have thought it is blasphemy to mix politics and Klingon,” said Jyrki Kasvi, an ardent Trekkie. “Others say it is good if politicians can laugh at themselves.”

He said his politics posed some translation difficulties, since Klingon does not have words for matters such as tolerance, or for many colors, including green — the party under whose banner he is running in the national elections on March 18.

Non-warriors can also access the site, www.kasvi.org, in English, Klingon and Swedish.

I can’t believe I beat SmartAlix to this Post.

    What’s the big deal? I don’t see much difference between Klingons and Republicans.

  2. Calin says:

    Does that make the Democrats Romulans?

  3. Mike says:

    What’s next? Prom night dumpster babies running for political office?

    Family Guy FTW!

    I don’t see much difference between Klingons and Republicans.

    The difference is that Klingons have morals and a sense of honor. Republicans (and Democrats) are much more Ferengi like in that they have no honor and care only about money.

    I love that picture, but where’s his rifle?

    In other news, you’re all still hacks that can’t back up your bullshit… but that’s why I taunt you so.

    #6 – Hah! I figured you were in the air on the way to Cebit. 🙂

    #9 – Just because I owned you is no reason to get pissy.

  11. TJGeezer says:

    He needs a shotgun and hundreds of tame, trusting, dead pheasants, and a tame Supreme Court justice (a lesser Ferengi) waiting to kiss his ass in the background. But you can only do so much with one illustration.

  12. JS says:

    Don’t you people know the difference between FERENGEE and Klingons ?. So Sad
