10 Funniest Moments of 2012

2. White People Mourning Mitt Romney

Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney to earn a 2nd term as President of the United States back in November - something we attribute to Romney's aforementioned vendetta against Big Bird - and going by some of the reactions you could find online the next day, it was as if the Democratic President had personally snuck into each of their homes, murdered their families and then defecated in their cereal bowls. The outpour of grief made it seem as though Romney had been killed in a bizarre accident, or perhaps that each failed candidate is taken out to pasture and shot. Liberals everywhere laughed heartily at the maudlin, excessive outcry that followed Romney's loss, causing one enterprising fellow to set up the blog "White People Mourning Mitt Romney", containing a litany of pictures of the white middle-class sobbing inconsolably over the fact that the President elect isn't a heartless, callous shell of a man.
