Ridiculous. It is just a joke

As I said, a weak one.

Just rewatched to see if I was missing something, but it only seems to say "Mitt Romney is rich and spends a lot". Maybe not knowing much about the guy and american politics doesn't help, but from that video, I'd expect their Obama Style video to be just "Obama is black".

In America Mitt Romney is seen as rich and out of touch with what people want, which is a character flaw. Being black isn't a character flaw.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll attribute our differences of reaction to the video as having a different sense of humour and move on, since we're really bordering the "no politics" tos. Sorry, Joaz.

OK folks, forgive me, I’ll try to refrain from posting such stuff again. Didn’t mean to step on anybody’s toes, not even the admins’—it’s kind of like Tourette’s Disease for me ;-)

Thanks for the friendly warning.

Off topic. Let's get back to awesome Kpop videos! :D



"awesome" should never be next to "Kpop"... IMHO :)

Gangnam style is a really funny phenomenon... 700 millions view on Youtube.. just wow
