At this point, it seems like most of the public doesn’t like either candidate very much. If you could vote for a fictional President from movies or TV instead, which one would you choose?

Sometimes they’re hand-drawn animation, sometimes puppets or animatronics, and these days mostly CGI. Whatever the method...

Some kids designed movie poster art with paper cut-outs and craft supplies… Wait, hold on a second. You’re telling me these aren’t the work of children? These are actual Blu-ray cases designed by a studio marketing department and sold at retail? Oh, holy hell… As spotted by poster Krawk in our site...
