Editor's Pick

Piggybacking the election hoopla, McCann Worldgroup, San Francisco developed a more humorous and less annoying online takeoff of Hannity & Colmes that lets audiences interact with two fake pundits, a liberal male and conservative female. 

Visitors can ask questions on a variety of hot-topic political terms including "Iraq war," "gay marriage" or "the economy." The two anchors then square off in a brief, witty point-counterpoint argument. Meanwhile, a large screen opens in between that shows actual Microsoft Live Search results and links to your inquiries. Of course, if you're stalling on typing, the anchors will pass the time by either playing the guitar or talking on their phone. Wonder what they do if you ask about antitrust legislation or net neutrality...
