Santorum Steals Apple's '1984' Ad In Misguided Attempt To Seem Hip
Here is Rick Santorum's latest campaign ad "Rebellion," a modern bigoted man's knockoff of Apple's famous "1984" ad, except that the girl who is supposed to be wearing hot pants is wearing mom jeans and instead of Apple's old rainbow pride logo flashing up at the end it's, ha ha, clips of Rick Santorum grinning wildly. Mitt Romney gets the starring role of "the establishment," which in this version casts him as a mass murderer who telepathically orders his supporters to march to their deaths wearing blindfolds like some kind of Mormon Stalin. Rebel guerrilla leader Rick Santorum to the rescue!
So if hardline Catholic theocrat Rick Santorum is a rebel, let's see... that would make the Pope, what, Che Guevara? Sure. That sounds right.
Here's the original Apple "1984" ad for your compare and contrast essay in the comments section:
Anyhow, we're guessing Santorum's campaign is trying to copy the viral success of the 2007 pro-Obama "1984" spoof mocking Hillary Clinton, which means that Mitt Romney must now make the equivalent of this mind-shatteringly fantastic old Hillary adin retaliation. [YouTube]
Apparently Newt is surging ahead of both of them. But, I'm confused. Granted, the remaining candidates are all douchebags of the first water...but damn, Newt, 3 marriages, divorcing sick wife, digs open marriages could possibly be the front-runner? How can conservatives square that in their minds. Why haven't these wal-mart greeters been laughed off of the national stage and why the fuck to they have to make me nostolgic for Nixon??
