I know I am beginning to get a bit predictable with my virals – yes, this is yet another one from the American election. But it’s almost over (bring on November 4th) and this final one is just too good not to share. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the Simpson’s video promoting Obama and I really didn’t think his support could stretch further than that – the land of animation. I was wrong.

Remember this commercial? If you were alive in 1999 – then you definitely do.

Well, it’s been eight years and they are back, looking a little older and a little worse for wear and without a Bud in sight. In less than two minutes, the boys who made themselves famous by saying next to nothing touch on unemployment, health care, the world’s finances, the war in Iraq and the environment – and make a very powerful statement in the process.

Not overtly promoting Obama, simply showing his image on a TV screen at the end is enough to get the message across – there is hope, which has been the backbone of the Obama campaign from day one. It seems that everyone in America from animated characters to nearly-forgotten ad celebrities are getting involved in this campaign and having an effect. Maybe it will make a difference.

“So what’s up B?”
“Change, that’s what’s up. Change.” Let’s hope Obama wins and lives up to that.
