Browsing around The Atlantic, I stumbled across this post about a video by Hugh Atkin that I suspect will be going viral:
U Didn't Build That by MC 'Bama
Atkin combines MC Hammer with Barack Obama for the best riff we've heard on the president's "you didn't build that" line yet. Dig the cameos from Clint Eastwood and former Dating Game contestant Jennifer Granholm. Here's the first verse:
Mitt Romney strikes me, so hard.
Makes me feel like Shirley Sherrod.
Out of context, those words aren't mine.
The private sector's doing fine.
Feels good, when the economy's weak,
Responding with a national security leak.
Osama Bin Laden, I killed.
And that was a mission you didn't build.
Gwen Ifill has already declared it her favorite thing today:
The name Hugh Atkin was unfamiliar to me, and so I did a little research. According to Wikipedia, he's an Australian attorney who has been producing Youtube videos that go viral since 2007. He was responsible for the BarackRoll video that went viral during the 2008 campaign. He has a blog called The Margin of Error, which led me to a few more videos he has distributed at YouTube this year that made me laugh today.
Eastwood vs. Eastwood
While the whole Clint Eastwood talking to a chair at the Republican National Convention, may seem like old news today, I found Atkin's version of Eastwood arguing with Eastwood hysterical:
Things Mitt Thinks Are Important
Atkin's version of things Mitt Romney thinks are important breaks down the actually
laundry list of things Romney did go through in his acceptance speech:
Songs of Mitt
Songs of Mitt has Romney explaining that he doesn't know who he is or what he believes:
Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up
Back in March Atkin was asking,
Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up? The nation is still waiting for that to happen:
Needless to say, I just spent the last half hour laughing out loud, and
Hugh Atkin now has a new follower on Twitter.
