Obamaville: Rick Santorum’s, (member of Opus Dei) insane dystopian vision of the year 2014
Apparently
taking a page from the dystopian fiction craze, Rick Santorum's latest
campaign ad transports us to the year 2014, where the world looks less
like present-day America and more like a hallucinatory version of The
Hunger Games. It's also just plain crazy pants.
This video was
uploaded yesterday by the Santorum team, and is obviously designed to
look like a horror movie trailer (or perhaps a fever dream) rather than
your typical campaign ad. There's just so much to pick out here: the way
the buildings have all begun to crumble in just two years, the little
girl pulled from the Great Depression (Maybe she's supposed to be a
ghost?), the not-so-subtle cuts between Obama and Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But what's up with the baby in the crib and the
clone army of black suits? I think we need a screencap recap of this
puppy.
But really, Mr. Santorum, what do you think the trailer
for Santorum Nation would look like? Because I was thinking something
along the lines of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
