Swift Boat Kids?

by LindaSFNM, Fri Apr 11, 2008 at 12:51:08 PM EST

Swift Boad Kids for Truth is an online video parody created by 23/6.  They got attention last year for doing a video parody on Hillary.  So they did a couple more.  The last one, Hillary's "pantsuits".  

They turned their attention now to candidate Barack Obama.   Doing their first parody on his name and now their latest, on his drug use, "Snow Job".

What do you think?  Is it funny, or is it just another attack?  Does it change when it's based on real life circumstances or when it gets personal?  Because they use children it's OK?

I think it's funny. (none / 0)

Check out their ad entitled "Cookies". The tag line is something to the effect of "Hillary Clinton is a liar who hates cookies". It's so over the top that you can't help but come away smiling.

Eh, so so. (none / 0)

That one just didn't work for me, maybe if they had focused on his ears or something.

I agree the cookie one was great. Wonder what they will come up with for McCain?

I don't understand... (none / 0)

Are these things supposed to be funny, or is their comic value unintentional? Either way, they're hilarious! I've got to send these things to my parents, they'll love it. I especially liked the line in the Hillary one, "Hillary, isn't it time you stopped wearing pantsuits?" Also, that one kid saying, "Bad, bad, Barack," was pretty funny.
Even John McCain lusts after teh engels.
