Genius or Retarded

July 17, 2007 AT 12:34PM | Comments (17)

Let me explain how this works. I will post a story, video clip or whatever of something that I think could be pure genius or just plain retarded. But before I give my take - I want to hear what you people out there think.

First up - the new video that sweeping the country - Obama's Girls vs Giuliani's Girls.

Play video

I don't care about Politics, it is all about the girls girls girls.........I would say definetely Genious, because of the Hot Girls, and also because it was film in New York.

Ain't from America (writing from good ole' continental Europe), but I'll throw in my 2 cents.

Although graphically satisfying (nice babes & scene edits), not really saying much about any of the real issues or any real satire, other than the usual word plays. Predictable.

And as the message goes - it's a lame (at least from my point of view) attempt at getting through to voters. The ones that don't get the irony, I'd guess it would at least get them to take a second glance at stuff. Others are just not laughing, since it's well enough made not to be ridiculed into a neat little hole in the ground (the execution, not the content, mind you).

My vote? Retarded. A commercial piece of cr... I mean, poop.

First off, to all the people who don't know how to spell.... "Genius"..... You're Dee Dee Dee! In my opinion the video is ridiculous, however, it serves it's purpose on manipulating uneducated persons to vote.

My vote is that the video is pure genius.

In the end I would vote Carlos Mencia for Presidency and I will serve as Vice President. LOL

what the @#$* there just when three minitues of my day. now to bang my head on the wall.

This video was pretty bad. There was nothing political about it except the names, but what would be genius if they had the girls dancing behind them during debates. I still wouldn't watch, but I'm sure someone would.

I think it just SUCKED. in otherwords VERY retarded.

It rides the fence. I can see genius in using sexuality to reach the millions of would be voters that otherwise don't care. But Retarded because if your a guy, your looking at the chicks, not listening to the lyrics, and if you're a girl, you're either just trying to copy the dance moves, or already know who you're going to vote for and getting offended at the use of female sexuality to promote politics. I like it, I found it funny, doesn't move me to vote though.

Hmm... let's look at points.

Retarded:
-Hot girls debating about presidents.
-People who watch will only care about the girls, not the voting.
-You're getting stupid people's votes and the brains will take you down.

Genious:
-Hot girls.
-Those stupid enough to vote due to this, will vote due to this, which is free votes.

3 to 2, retarded.

another wonderfully wasted three minutes of my life....hey got to watch cute girls in skimpy clothes what more could you ask for? It still sucks my a$$ though, very retarded

Posted by:Cassandra Jones | Jul 26, 2007 10:54:32 PM

Wow I have to say it was retarded....but otherwise mildly entertaining.

Posted by:Rocky Road | Aug 4, 2007 12:54:49 PM

Shows that hot girls arent stupid. Personally I think Obama and Guliani are both idiots, but at least a few people are following in Carlos' footsteps (however retarded their efferts might be.) I guess the only downside is that I now need to make sure my dad never see's this (He will not hesitate to base his vote on which candidate has the hottest girls.....)

Posted by:Francis Prevatt | Aug 5, 2007 5:47:22 PM

I think it's the most retarded thing i have ever seen i mean using sex appeal to get votes no ones gonna think about voting just about jerkin off, what the hell!!!
