The Youth Vote
My day job involves the designing of communications for marketing and advertising. From time to time I am called on to do something for a specific market I might not be directly familiar with, such as when I had to create advertising targeted at teen girls. I knew nothing about teen girls when I was a teen boy and it seems I know less about them now that I am the parent of one!
Today I needed to do a little research into college age girls relative to beauty and fashion. Even though more than a few of the Google results could be classified as NSFW, I found a enough interesting sites relevant sites to be able to understand a visual and graphic trend.
I also found some political thought that I really hope is not indicative of today's youth vote. I'm quoting the entire post from CollegeBeing.com.
What do you think?

Like every other popular news source, the editors of College Being endorse Barack Obama. We are doing it just because everybody else is doing it, but if you are more concerned with the issues, here you go:
He’s Black
Well if you aren’t a racist this is a good thing (if you are racist, you are probably a Republican anyway). Why? Black people are cool dude. (Yeah we are totally white here… dog…) Well it is either a cool Black guy or some grumpy old man. Plus, who cares about the decisions they make when they are president? In reality we should be voting for who we can stand to watch and listen to for at least four years.
Two paragraphs that will probably give me nightmares for a month. If this were from any source other than a college student, I would automatically assume it is a parody. But given the source, I just can't decide.He’s Black

I don't it's all that serious but I don't think it's a deliberate parody either. It seems more snarky than anything else.
