Wassup?! – Eight Miserable Years Later
I have to say that I really enjoyed this. About as much as I enjoyed the original back in 2000 (when I actually believed my Internet start-up job was gonna make me a millionaire), but in a wholly different way. This, I found to be kind of thoughtful and poignant.
You know what they say: Nothing focuses the mind like a good hanging joke…
I like how at the end they have to point out that the opinions expressed aren't those of Anheuser-Busch.
The funny thing is that since Anheuser-Busch was recently bought by a bunch of arugula-eating Belgians, the opinions expressed might not be all that different these days.
True.
True.

I notice it just says "vote"… as though it's not obvious who these arugula-eating Hercule-Poirot-wannabes want us to vote for!
So what exactly is wrong with eating arugula (rucola – in German)? I first tried it last May in Berlin, and it tastes awesome. Good for you too! should we be "good Americans" and stick to our traditional oil french – sorry Freedom Fries, Steak and fried chicken? That kind of ignorant connection between foods and patriotism or elitism is exactly the kind of ignorance that the rest of the world is laughing at us. Go try some arugula for yourself, maybe you will like it.
Excellent!… but just who is the "individual providing" the "views expressed in this short film"? It's so well-made, it would be nice to have an attribution…
those of you who don't understand the arugula joke haven't been paying attention long enough. One of the first "elitist" criticisms against Obama was that he likes arugula, because no "real" American would like arugula.
Second, if you don't understand the Belgian joke, anything not Americian… Correction: anything not stereotypical of small town ultra conservative America has been labeled as "anti-American" in the last two weeks by half a dozen different Republican pundents and elected officials.
And if you can't figure out who they are endorsing, watch it again and look for a certain candidate who has been running on a platform of change for the last 20 months. If you still can't figure it out, tough.
Anyone else having difficulty with the jokes? Sheesh.
Maybe we can get some of the birth certificate conspiricy theorists to come over and argue that these aren't the same 4 guys.
With that all said, this is one of the best commentaries I've seen during the campaign.
No more arugula ! From now on, the Obama campaign refers to it as a green leafy vegetable resembling collard greens.
AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! Will black folk be always entertaining us with their antics? O that Obama were only ProLife, I remember Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream Speech where he directed people to judge upon content/character, not color of skin…I wish Black folk would save America again like they did in 1950-60s with Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights Movement, they made all America grow up and face truth and be fair, if only black folk were ProLifers on a whole, if Obama wins it will be mostly because black voted for black, the fact that this blackish man Obama is a ProAbortionist, supports killing babies in the womb, babies that come from God is unimportant to them, its the color that is important to them
Hey does anybody see the telephone booth that the soldier is calling from, it has foreign language symbols scribbled along the top that look like it translates into 'kiss ass' I know they're real oppressed over there and about 1000 years behind the times, but doesn't anyone think its kinda odd to be labeling the telephone a 'kiss ass'? How did they come up with a name like that? Why do they still write in baby scribble?
o my mistake, it is not 'kiss ass' it is 'you are an ass' u= double u
hILARIOUS.
