Deez Nuts Files for 2016 Presidential Run

As this next election season kicks into full gear and becomes a tidal wave of slimy politics, moronic commentary, and gaffe-centric news cycles, we’re all likely to think: What does any of this matter? We’re all going to die one day, so screw it, why waste time caring so deeply about something so futile?

One anonymous American seems to have recognized the farcical nature of partisan politics. But instead of whining about it in a blog post, he filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2016. Under the name “Deez Nuts.”

It’s not that difficult to file an FEC Form 2 to declare your candidacy, so on Sunday, Mr. Nuts submitted the proper paperwork and became an official candidate for office, running as an Independent. The campaign is registered to an address in rural Wallington, Iowa.

Here’s hoping for a Deez Nuts-Sweet Meteor of Death 2016 ticket.
