Jim Newell · 10/28/11 03:04PMThe Jon Huntsman 2012 campaign is leveraging three of his daughters in a bold attempt to win over the youthful YouTube Parody Watcher vote! These gals have been quietly tweeting jokes about the other candidates for some time now as @Jon2012girls. And now they've made a parody of Herman Cain's chief of staff smoking ad, in which they blow bubbles instead.

We're at the point in the presidential campaign where Herman Cain was supposed to be dropping out and having a nice, leisurely tour to promote his latest motivational book. And yet here he is having to give, and screw up, all of these national media interviews all the time, as the frontrunner. Some "supporters" those supporters are, giving him all of this support!

Facebook thought it was bragging when it announced recently that just 0.06% of its 1 billion daily user logins were made by hijacked accounts. But that's a hell of a lot of logins by hackers and spammers: 600,000/day, according to Sophos. Their new incredibly complicated super-friends scheme should fix this.
