With just under a week left to go before election day in Virginia (November 3), many local publications have put out voter guides/election previews.  And if there’s one thing cVillain does well, it’s put out.

But since we don’t do politics around here, I’ll just point you to other sites if you want serious coverage:

• A little gubernatorial preview from C-ville Weekly
• UNCUS looks into a non-Democratic Party candidate standing a chance in our Burg
• Local candidates overview from Los Hookers
• Cavalier Daily comments on Deeds-McDonnell race among students
• Voter guides from Charlottesville Tomorrow/Daily Progress (also, click on “Elections” at the top for complete coverage)

So now that all that is covered, we here at cVillain can get down to the important stuff.   We must get Scowly on the news.  Here’s the scenario: David Toscano is the delegate for the 57th district (covering Charlottesville and some of Albemarle County).  He’s basically running unopposed.  He’s going to win a walk.  Two years ago he won with 98.34% of the vote.  Well, we can make Scowly the second place finisher.  Vote however you like for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and City Council/Board of Supervisors.  Then, simply write-in “Scowly” for delegate.  Toscano will still win in a landslide, but we might just get enough votes to cause a slight ripple. 

And at least we’ll be having fun.  I mean, who are we, Fails Church?

So who’s with me???  Yeeeeaargh!  Scowly for Delegate!  FREEEEEEEDOM!

But they certainly are making some odd noises and seem to be experiencing delirium tremens from time to time.  So we are here to figure out just what they might contain, and we need your help.  We’re inviting all you readers to submit your favorite ideas for the sites future mascot (or mascots…  one good, one evil perhaps?)  The ONLY components of Scowly’s DNA that we KNOW carried through is the mask and cape, after all, what kind of champion for change and cheap drinks could he or she be if getting constantly recognized?

Contest Outline:

• Must Use Mask & Cape
• Must Be SFW (no masked UVa Playboy shots please)
• All Submissions Must Be Original Creations
• All Submissions Become Property Of cVillain
• Contest Runs For One Week
• Voting Starts On Monday
• Votes Determine Top 3

After the top 3 are chosen, we will narrow the vote down, and select the latest addition to the cVillain family.  The winner will be awarded a cVillain shirt proudly sporting their mascot on the front, and eternal fame and glory (obvi), along with other goodies.  If you find yourself without artistic skills, but with a great idea, post it in the comments, and we will take a crack at generating your idea into a draft.

Once we have the Chosen One, we’ll vote on names to complete his entrance into the world.

Get your pencils/wacom tablets out, and start doodling!

A little birdie saw this around town and took a pic on the cell phone:

Thanks Tuffy, for the image.

CVILLAIN LAND (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) — Coinciding with the press conference that will take place at 2PM, here are the findings and the currently evolving story from the Official Election Committee.

cVillain’s Official Election Committee determined that the results of the 2008 election had been unfairly tallied. It was not immediately apparent how the cheating took place, but various lobbyist groups, legal entities and candidate supporters tried to weigh in on the issue.

Through a careful reverse route IP technoschematic supercomputer investigation, various special forces operations and foreign spy intelligence, we traced the origins of the voting confusion to a small, Cambodian city by the name of “Kep.” While Kep may deceive external viewers with a “lack of electricity,” the truth of the matter is that a large anti-cvillain rogue nation has built a deep underground liar. While we did not want to escalate the issue into an international affair, we did conduct covert operations to determine the source of our problem.

Our covert operations revealed several findings: »Read More
