Even in Death, Obama Girl Remains Selflessly Political

In what could, for some, be considered poetic justice, Barely Political contributes to the untimely-yet-prolonged death of its charmingest Frankenstein Monster: Obama Girl.

Amidst a campy new jingle and some ass-wiggling with a faux Republican, a reluctant Obama Girl — recently informed that she’s cheated vindictive Death — is thrown into a wall of knives. The resulting perversion of a quaint Victorian pastime gives her the chance to perform something most actors salivate for: a death scene.

The chill demeanour she maintains, even as life leaks unconvincingly out of her sternum, is a tribute to our casually jaded generation. She even gets a dandy little healthcare message in.

Campy stuff; we’re also trying to forget the part where a full-on Final Destination trailer just cuts between the plot. But I guess they needed to throw it in somehow; the vid is part of an ongoing collabo between the feature film and Next New Networks.

In addition to Barely Political, other Next New properties expected to join the conga line to Tartarus include Indy Mogul and Fast Lane Daily.
