Turning a serious topic into a matter of farce is a great way to keep things relevant. Better still is the marriage of farce and sex, especially when it comes to politics.
It’s not really clear who’s behind this viral about a couple that decides to roleplay as Bush and The Country, but it’s funny in a sadistic way to watch the one have a go at the other with pillow-talk like, “I’m gonna get you involved in a unjustified war in Iraq – with no exit strategy!” as the notched shouts, “Don’t pull out, don’t pull out!”
It’s not hard to tell who here is getting screwed. Better still, the roleplay Bush tosses in some saucy grammar like “I’m gonna jeopardate social security – and I’m gonna make millions without healthcares.”
We’ll see how big of a splash the statement makes with ‘net users at large, but you have to commend a group that attempts to turn you on, alter political bearings and make you laugh all at the same time. The words “habeas corpus” were never sexier.
