TechPresident's Joshua Levy is blogging about the revelation that the McCain Girls -- the trio of fiery women singing about their support of John McCain in a rather unique style -- were, in fact, a hoax. The wildly popular and horrendous hoax was the effort of 23/6.

As reported by the New York Times:

The McCain Girls videos, which were posted on YouTube last month with no clues about their provenance, are clearly meant to be imitations of — or parodies of — the “Obama Girl” videos, which themselves are parodies (right?).

While the Obama Girl looks like a pinup and sings catchy tunes, the McCain Girls could not be confused with fashion models or pop music stars. Their first video, “Raining McCain,” set to the tune of “It’s Raining Men,” was posted on YouTube four weeks ago. A sample lyric: “In the 2008 election, the forecast calls for rain; the first time in history, it’s gonna start raining McCain.”

We went back to our series of posts on the McCain Girls (here, here, and here), and found that the most recent video has even been removed "due to a copyright claim by The MCPS - PRS Alliance Ltd."

Pity. The McCain Girls will be missed. However, I don't think we've seen the last of ridiculous people making ridiculous videos on YouTube worth chuckling about.
