website, Slick.com.

Press Release Body: RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif., September 24, 2008 – Democratic
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama and Republican contender John McCain are lampooned
on fake currency courtesy of the satirical website, Slick.com.

Issued by “The People’s Republic of Hollywood,” the new satirical Obama Three Cent
Bill pokes fun at the Democratic presidential candidate’s liberal Hollywood backing
and “Rock Star” status.

Why a “Three Cent” Bill for Obama? Jesse Dalton, Managing Editor of www.Slick.com
says with a smile, “Obama promises change – now he’s got it!”

The McCain Three Dollar Bill labeled as a “Note of Desperation” skewers the
Republican’s aging candidate. Emblazoned with “Look what we dug up!” the bill
depicts McCain as a partially unwrapped mummy. Issued by “The Liberalized GOP of
America” the three dollar bill conceals a number of jokes and zingers.

Dalton is a registered Independent who relishes skewering both parties. “The
Republican and Democratic parties currently represent a depth of ineptitude,
hypocrisy and corruption that boggles the mind,” says Dalton. “They’re both fair
game,” he adds.

The company founded in 1992, has issued gag currency lampooning George W. Bush, Bill
Clinton, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Ross Perot, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore and
many other politicians. Slick.com publishes The Loose Change Gazette, an online
satirical offering targeting Obama, McCain and other national politicians.
