Wacked out conspiracy theorists might be an annoyance, but their outlandish ideas make for hilarious Internet parodies. Here are some of the best.
The Other Birth Certificates
It didn’t take long after the release of President Obama’s long form birth certificate for Gawker’s Max Read to have some fun with the fever swamps. Take a look at the father in this copy, a reference to an actual birther theory aired in excruciating detail on conspiracy theorist Pam Geller’s site in 2008.
Of course, the long form birth certificate looks very different through birthers’ eyes, inspiring an annotated version from the Huffington Post.
Some sites got tired of waiting for President Obama’s birth certificate and just produced their own — like this one from Pandagon.
Make Your Own Kenyan Birth Certificate
Of course, if you’re looking for President Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate — or anyone else’s for that matter — you can always make your own with this handy generator. The site was designed as a parody of a spectacularly fake birth certificate that made the rounds in conspiracy circles.
What Birthers Really Believe
Sometimes it takes a crudely animated cartoon to really hammer the absurdity home, like this TLGMedia creation from 2009.
Big Bird Goes Birther
Back when he was still with NBC, Conan O’Brien dubbed over Michele Obama’s Sesame Street appearance…with disturbing results.
The Afterbirthers
Leave it to The Onion to take birthers’ escalating demands to their disgusting conclusion. They also raised some questions this week about the birther-in-chief’s own credentials.
The Biden Birthers
Who knows if this supposed “Scranton” is even a real place?
Hail To The Chief
Of course who better to mock the birthers than the man himself, like he did at last year’s White House Correspondents Dinner.
