Why so serious? As The Dark Knight hit the movie theatres all over the globe in the recent days we still have to wait until august 13 to see it here, in France. Pity.
But we nevertheless can entertain ourselves here, thanks to a series of tubes (which is, as everyone knows a sort of google), and it's coming directly from the McCain campaign.
It is when you think you've seen it all and nothing can surprise you anymore, that you suddenly get your attention caught by something you wouldn't have imagined possible in your wildest dre.... nightmares!
Here is the new ad the McCain campaign just released :
Not only is it incredibly stupid it is also totally wrong, weird, creepy, tasteless and rude.
What if Obama replied with an ad showing parts of John McCain's worst speeches (lots of material available here) edited into some of Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula footage? Wouldn't the GOP and John McCain feel insulted?
I personaly see a much more striking resemblance between Dracula and McCain than between Moses. Don't you?
Now let me remind you of something:
In a previous ad (three days ago!) Barack Obama was being compared to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Today, he is being compared to Moses.
Since John McCain proudly stated he graduated from whatever school he attended in the low 5% of his class, let me help him do some maths:
If A equals B and B equals C therefore A equals C.
THEREFORE:
If Barack Obama equals Paris Hilton and If Barack Obama equals Britney Spears,
Britney Spears equals Paris Hilton AND Paris Hilton equals Britney Spears.
SO:
If the exact same Barack Obama now equals Moses,
THEN we have to state that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton equal Moses.
Wow!
Has a campaign been that desperate before?
What is this exactly supposed to mean?
I can't wait for the reaction of the NRA since their long time hero Charton Heston would certainly not have voted for Obama.
Or this may mean in the end that Obama will actually hand free loaded AK-47 to any 4-year-olds whose parents are registered Democrats?
Oh, and since some people still seem to think Obama equals Muslim (like there is anything wrong with that by the way), does this mean Moses equals Muslim too?
And if I remember correctly, Moses once saw a Burning Bush. Is this a bad sign for the actual resident of the White House? Is he at risk of spontaneaous self-combustion anytime soon?
I get a little confused here. Am I the only one?
I am not even going to tell you about the misquotations (understand lies) and the editing nut job that has been done here in order to make BHO's speeches sound like he's some kind of freaky guru. (This, I hope, will backfire soon at some actual Republicans who don't believe in the Giant Spaghetti Monster).
But let me tell you this, if you don't know yet about BHO's sense of humour, the fact that he is an articulate person and the fact he actually has doubts (read the books he wrote, listen to him and pay attention) then this ad will be wasted on you since you probably had already decided to vote Republican. If not, then it will be wasted on you too since you know this is total BS. So what's the point exactly?
No democrat should be scared about these ads (I'd be more concerned about Republicans stealing votes again). They don't say any good about McCain. They won't make anybody change their mind. They don't focus on issues.
And did you notice this last ad doens't even say he's not ready to lead? It asks the question: He may be the one, but is he ready to lead? Well, sorry John, but the answer is Yes, he is, unlike you. Why? Because he doens't waste his time and his campaign staff's time to make stupid useless ads. Because he meets important people, high raked officials, and ordinary citizens in the US and abroad while you're having a sausage in some German restaurant just to mock him. Because he is a gazillion time smarter than you. Because he knows that Iraq and Afghanistan have no common borders. Because he truly supports the Troops, and because he tries as hard as he can to focus on what is important: ISSUES. Aren't you glad you asked?
