    This is the 10th time I've watched this in the past 18 hours, and now I go directly to crying and goosebumps, do pass go, do not laugh, and yet I still can't stop watching. I've been saying for years, Big Brother is here and he is us. (needless to say I don't feed the monster with smart phone videos.....it's the least I can do....Big Brother sure doesn't look like what I expected).

      I agree--I can watch these over and over and the frustration at having such a loser in the highest position with his yes men.... And I alternate between chills, tears, anger .....and wondering how long until this is past tense? Will we ever be normal again?!

      The term parody is used where one takes a song and rewrites the lyrics as to insert a different shade or nuance of meaning from the original. This is typically done to pay musical homage to the original in its own right, and to make use of musical device dating from the romantic period (roughly middle 1800s-early 1900s ). While some parodies are humorous or satire, not all are necessarily intended to be so. Parody and scherzo were commonly used as political devices from the era of the original 13 colonies. (This sort of thinv is backdrop from which many patriotic songs in the American repritoire were composed.)

      Sadly, I guess we do deserve it b/c we've been such dupes, letting the media - which the billionaires have entirely bought up as it says - divide us over piddly-poo while indeed, they deregulate everything and destroy all our rights. They're always working on pocketing our Social Security, Veteran's Benefits and what little we have left.
