Don’t be that superficial again, like…

Hah

You got it backwards Limey. It’s that some Americans with a change of accent could pass as Europeans.

Thank God that worked for years for the IM force. Been watching reruns of “Mission:Impossible” lately, and it’s amazing to me how many vague Eastern-bloc nations they could infiltrate by adopting an accent.

And all we can say is “Merci Beaucoup!”

I don’t know what kind of drooling idiots AP thinks old folks are but that ad won’t fly over their heads. If anything, it will scare them into creaking to the voting booths, which is a good thing in this case.

What will scare them? Techno + Marx + Che = Vote for the unscary guy.

The bad news is, er … maybe this wasn’t the best day to go knocking Media Matters for amateurishness. I get what they’re going for with the goof on German techno, but how many older voters will get it and not end up simply scratching their heads and wondering, “What the hell is this?”

I don’t know AP, maybe you are a bit dense, but any age group can appreciate the fact that Marxists and Che fans love Obama. Perhaps you were hypnotized by the techno beat and missed the people actually talking?

P.S. For those that don’t know, Techno Viking is a German dude.

Thanks for that trip down memory lane. Nena is a left wing babe. They are so gullible.

“I have friends in America who are Marxists and they’re working for Obama.”……

I loved it.

but how many older voters will get it and not end up simply scratching their heads and wondering, “What the hell is this?”

I had my 75 year old father watch it and he got it! Allahpundit, the question you asked was more appropriate to the statements by Obama during the trip and the press coverage surrounding it..My dad felt this the perfect response to last week. Don’t underestimate the older generation.

Great concept! A vote for Obama is a vote for epilepsy.

I have epilepsy, my vote goes to McCain.

BTW, flashy stuffs is teh sux.. :{

Have you some time for me,
then I’ll sing a song for you
about 99 balloons
on their way to the horizon.
If you’re perhaps thinking about me right now
then I’ll sing a song for you
about 99 balloons
and that such a thing comes from such a thing.

99 balloons
on their way to the horizon
People think they’re UFO’s from space
so a general sent up
a fighter squadron after them
Sound the alarm if it’s so
but there on the horizon were
only 99 balloons.

99 fighter jets
Each one’s a great warrior
Thought they were Captain Kirk
then came a lot of fireworks
the neighbors didn’t understand anything
and felt like they were being provoked
so they shot at the horizon
at 99 balloons.

99 war ministers
matches and gasoline canisters
They thought they were clever people
already smelled a nice bounty
Called for war and wanted power.
Man, who would’ve thought
that things would someday go so far
because of 99 balloons.

99 years of war
left no room for victors.
There are no more war ministers
nor any jet fighters.
Today I’m making my rounds
see the world lying in ruins.
I found a balloon,
think of you and let it fly (away).

There’s a long history of Americans delighting in mocking German tastes in film, television, and music. Who can forget the old Mike Myers skit on SNL, Sprockets, or David Hasselhoff’s appearance in Dodgeball (only one of the greatest comed…
