Contest: ENTER TV & Media Avatar Contest: Pick a POTUS!

So... the President of the United States has been in the news lately. Like, a LOT. And, well, let's just say it's not because he's doing great work. I believe I read that his approval rating is the lowest of any president in the first year of their term, ever.

So a lot of us probably wish someone else was sitting in the Oval Office. And we've all seen those fake election stickers and signs showing fictional characters running for president:

What if you *could* actually elect a fictional character as president? That's the theme for our contest: pick a character from TV, movies, comics, video games, etc, who you wish could be President of the United States of America.

Standard avatar rules apply: maximum dimensions of 200 x 200 pixels, and maximum file size of 1 MB. Science Fiction and Fantasy is OK. For this contest, we'll ignore those pesky requirements in the American constitution such as minimum age, citizenship/country of birth, and residency. (And species. Is species mentioned in the constitution? No? OK then.) Contest will be open for about a week.

Please indicate the name of the character, and what show/movie/etc they are from. They do not have to be a president, or even a politician, in their source material (but it's fine if they are, too). You do not have to explain your choice, but feel free if you would like to! :)

Have fun! :techman:

Kris Kringle, as portrayed by the late Sir Richard Attenborough, in "Miracle on 34th Street"

He's the embodyment of selflessness, and he's cunning enough to get us what we want even if it seems impossible. Oh, and he already knows who's naughty or nice, so no need for morally questionable surveillance and intelligence gathering tactics.

Nice entries so far! :) Might try to come up with one.

Thinking of either Captain Picard or Captain Janeway.

@Orac Where did that Spock pic come from? It's brilliant. :)

Here's my choices:

Definately Janeway.



I photoshopped Spock's head onto Obama's body, since Trump's body is too fat to be Spock's.
Ah I see. Cool. Nice job! :techman: Looks almost seamless.

Dammit you guys. You're making it hard to choose! :p :lol:

I'm going with Janeway as my entry as it (the avatar) looks a little bit better.

Since you mentioned Gallifrey, I assume this is someone from Doctor Who?

Last call!! I will post the poll over the weekend, possibly as early as Friday night depending on how things go, so get your entries in now if you'd like to enter!

And speaking of entries,
