One of the most popular political conflicts this election season is shaping up to be the primary showdown between Hillary Clinton (henceforth referred to as Hill) and Borat Osama (or however you spell his name).  Yes, that's a joke.

Anyway, this article is not about the political showdown, but about a particularly exciting ad that was run on YouTube.  What happened was a guy, acting entirely on his own time (a couple hours, according to him), made a video parodying an '80's Apple commercial depicting a 1984-esque world.  In this commercial, though, Hill was depicted as a Big Brother-type character, with Obama being supported in the end.

First - This commercial was of a much higher quality/caliber than your typical, ordinary political commercial.  You know what I mean: political commercials suck ass as far as quality goes.  It's as if they spend so much friggin money on everything but their most valuable advertisements.

Second - Some political analysts are actually taken aback by the awesome influence that a simple private citizen can work out in a short amount of time.  This is starting to look a little bit more like a government by the people.

Third - The man who made the commercial was employed by a company that does political advertising and is contracted to Obama.  However, he claims that he quit to keep them from being connected to it while they claim that they fired him over it.  What happened?  Who cares?!?  This guy could do work for any political organization and do a hell of a lot better than they're doing now.

On a completely different note, at 6:27 tonight, Memphis tips off against Texas A&M.  This should be a good game.
