Want to make a political statement with your family's Halloween celebration this year? Forget Caribou Barbie or stuffing your shirt with pillows to pull off "I was a teenage Alaskan who studied the abstinence-only approach to birth control." Thanks to two creative bloggers with a lot of time on their hands, and us at the 'derby with even more time to search the Web, we bring you . . . the Barack-o-lantern.
Kevin Fairdosi and friend Minh taped themselves pasting an Obama template (which they provide!) to a pumpkin, and they take you step by step through the carving of a candidate. The result looks a little creepy in the daylight, but the nighttime affect is downright eerie - in a good way. So grab your gourd, your knife, your scoop
and the kids, and get carving (and by the way, if you're voting for McCain, hold onto the plans - you'll have something to take your agression out on come November 5).
Remember, It's all fun and games until someone carves a presidential candidate into the side of their gourd.
