When Hugo Chavez died one month ago, there was considerable uncertainty about whether Chavismo would continue in Venezuela or whether the President's death would signal the end of his socialist crusade. Last night, those doubts were answered as his chosen successor, Nicolas Maduro, won a convincing victory in the presidential election.

Maduro: Thank you. There were some, eh, hairy moments back there, but now, with this victory I hope we bring new era of -
UN Well, before we get into any political stuff, would you mind if we ask you a bit about your clothes?

UN It looks like you fell asleep and some nasty friends slipped a scrawny dog turd under your nose.
Maduro: That's it! I go! I was promised interview with no jokes!
UN No jokes huh? Have you tried the other Uncyclopedia page?
