Here’s Your Saturday Night Special


This is masterful video-making. And it reminds me of so many of the Obama stories we’ve written — and the comments you’ve shared.

Amazing! LOL. Would have been better if it had a Monty Python’ish explosion at the end :-)

Michael Wolff wrote an article on the (then current) writer’s strike in the March issue of Vanity Fair.

He notes that the entire structure of the conventional, plot-driven production has been shattered. An example he gives is

“Cheap production technology, no-barrier-to-entry distribution, and a Niagara of “product”(65,000 new videos are uploaded on YouTube daily) mean the entire Hollywood story-development complex is now in a daily competition with do-it-yourself writers.”

Perusing that video, I’d say that the notion of competition is moot. It’s over Hollywood.

Great except for the paper airplane. I am an expert paper airplane engineer and that one won’t fly far.

Thanks for making me smile and keeping our morale up!
I just did a honk for hillary in Pa and was encouraged by all the hillary supporters in Pa. People stopped and asked for signs, where our office was etc. We got a lot of honks and smiles!

Wow! This is a keeper. Thanks Susan and the the creator. Satire is a very good weapon.

 

Comment by Flineo | 2008-04-06 03:19:03

Very funny. Awesome!

 

Comment by Tricia | 2008-04-06 11:00:07

SO GOOD!

I hope everyone understood every “ingredient.” The Axelrod issue, which has kind of died down, is still so relevant. Obama was elevated originally from Chicago corruption money (fact!) and Axelrod made him into one of his images(see also, Deval Patrick). Hope, change, new form of politics, blah, blah….

America–let’s try to get it right this time. We can’t send a rookie into the Superbowl!

YEP..

Thats the way it works..I went to the Legislative district Caucas as a Hillary Delegate Yesterday..

Now I know what those 300 Spartans Felt like..but we Put up a Good Fight..since we were outnumbered 2 to 1..

They even had Both bathrooms Plastered with Obama Posters and Kids in suits and ties passing out OBAMA everything..Funny..They looked more like Young Republicans to me..

I can now think of a few more things to be put into the Funnel in this Video..but it shows enough of the TRUTH ..to make its Point very well..

My Compliments to the Creator…
