Propaganda

I've always liked propaganda. Something about making government appealing to the public lends itself to humor really well. It's even better when the propaganda tries to appeal to a culture I'm not familiar with.
For example: "I want a guy like Putin" from the album "One like Putin."

These are the lyrics:
"My boyfriend is in trouble once again:
Got in a fight, got drunk on something nasty
I've had enough and I chased him away
And now I want a man like Putin

One like Putin, full of strength
One like Putin, who won't be a drunk
One like Putin, who wouldn't hurt me
One like Putin, who won't run away!

I've seen him on the news last night
He was telling us that the world has come to crossroads
With one like him, it's easy to be home and out
And now I want a man like Putin

One like Putin, full of strength
One like Putin, who won't be a drunk
One like Putin, who wouldn't hurt me
One like Putin, who won't run away!"

That's right. The Russian government paid for that music video. I wonder if our goverment will follow suit since it seemed to work pretty well for the Kremlins.
Oh boy I can't wait until Obama is up for reelection!
