'Under the Same Moon' Takes the Piss Out of Lou Dobbs
Spoof meets the big-leagues in this trailer for Under the Same Moon, a Hispanic-American film with a title so sappy it could itself be a spoof.
The trailer pulls the sympathy card with child star Adrian Alonso while mocking Lou Dobbs, whom HuffPo dubbed "CNN's anti-immigrant crusader."
Our favourite line: "Time Magazine raves that 'Adrian Alonso could melt Lou Dobbs' heart, if he had one." Heh-heh-heh.
The spot is set to air on CNN today in LA, NYC, Chicago, SF and Washington, DC. Let's hope people get it, because the whole thing feels a little inside-jokey. Just because Dobbs is on the network doesn't mean everybody knows who he is. But hey, maybe it'll generate mass Dobbs googlage, followed by mass Dobbs outrage, followed by BOX! OFFICE! ENTHUSIASM!

how on earth was letting lou dobb speak his tiny bigoted mind ever a good idea? and on cnn no less.
yet another one-note fear-mongering white guy poisoning the national airwaves...yeah, that's what the country needs.
thank god for bbc america.
Dobbs is a sad excuse for a human being. It is beyond me how can there be so much hatred in one person. Thank God he will lose his battle. But he would have made a fantsatic minister of propaganda in Nazi Germany!
