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.

This is going to make your day: YouTube user McCain Girls are back with another "instant-classic":

In case you've missed our previous coverage on the McCain Girls head-first dive in to the politics + technology sphere:

* Raining McCain
* McCain Girl(s) Strike Back

A tipster friend on the Left passed along the link with the following cover note:

I don’t understand – is this authorized? Butt-ugly women singing covers of 80’s songs with poorly rhymed phrases? Is this what your polling shows is the secret to putting Mac over the top? Any plans to run this on MTV/VH1? I’m sure those young voters will LOVE it!

I don't know the answer to any of those questions but this sure is fun to watch.

Remember this? I'm still singing the "Raining McCain" song by the McCain Girls. Well, I don't know about singing, but you know what I mean. With more than 600k views on the video, I doubt I'm alone.

As first blogged today by Joshua Levy at TechPresident, the "lead" McCain Girl has fired back at some of her detractors in a response video. And she even drops the "F__" bomb. Classy.

Light at the end of the tunnel? There will be more McCain Girl videos. She ends the video by stating, "Just stay on the lookout for the next McCain Girl video. And by the way, you're welcome bitches."

Some gifts just keep on giving.
