Wassup America?

The internet has been heaving with political campaigns recently for both McCain and Obama. Most of the content has been cheap videos made by supporters of each group or annoying pop-up's on websites. However I have just seen, what i believe to be, the best political campaign advert so far. Its a remake of Budweiser's infamous 'Wasuup' commercial from eight years ago. It uses the same actors as the original but all in different situations. In such a clever way it shows how America has gone down hill from the last time they all uttered the famous 'wassup' down the phone. From a guy in Iraq to a guy hanging himself in his bedroom because of the financial crisis. In just two minutes it manages to touch on all that is wrong with America, using just four characters and small dialogue. The end shot then reveals who the advert is in support of - its in support of 'change' of course. Pukka mate!
