Political Satire On Obama Victory
November 18th, 2008
I originally saw this video a week ago at Lorraine’s Honky Talk Anti-racism blog
Hillarious – satire done right.
I marvel though at how often satire just goes way over people’s head. They simply don’t get the concept, and completely miss the irony and sarcasm; so you may need to read up on satire here first, then watch.
LOL @ horary for your people. I could do some commentary, but Lorraine did a good job of it, so why reinvent the wheel. I’ll just copy off of her like I did for test in 4th grade:
LMFAO@the community-service part! On the Pres-Elect’s new website www.change.gov/americaserves/. He talks about how he will “call on” middle and high school students to do community service. For college students who complete 100 hours of community service they will get a $4000 tax credit for their schooling.
Yesterday this one white chick (who has a black boyfriend *smh*) posted some bulletin on MySpace about how Obama requiring people to do community service means that he’s building an army and brainwashing people because Hitler had a similar program. Because apparently when it’s a black man “calling on” and “setting a goal” is the same thing as “requiring” someone to do something. It was Godwin’s Law right on my MySpace. So, I did the appropriate thing and deleted her. Once you compare to Hitler, teh thread is teh deadz!!!
Other white folks are upset over something else, “You mean, he’s not just gonna give us the money?” And by the by, these are always the same people who bitch about welfare. I want to call these people Welfare Queens so badly.
Oh wait, it’s only offensive and socialist when people of color get help from the government!! Oh ok.
Got it.
and 23/6 strikes again with a follow up vid:

LMFAO! “Look, please just make sure I don’t get sent to the camps, ok?”
Brilliant. Thanks for linking to my post and quoting me! You can copy off me any time. I won’t tell the teacher.
Yeah, the camp thing was a good ending.
