old glory
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
If you are, go watch this mock political ad making use of Dean's Iowa speech and the following "Rebel Yell" (or "Barbaric Yawp" if you're an Atrios reader/Whitman fan).
My roommate and I agree that this ad needs to be redone (get the rights to the Mudvayne song and do something about the "bitches" line to get it past the FCC) and put on MTV and Spike. This ad simply HAS to be seen by college students.
As one of Atrios's commenters said, "If this becomes the latest internet sport, then this whole thing would become more an embarassment to the crazy, angry media than to [Dean]." And craze it's becoming - there's already tons of "Rebel Yell" remixes going round the net.
By the way, has anyone else stumbled onto the thought that if the yell had been an octave or two lower, there'd be photoshopped pictures of Dean in pirate suits going round the net now?
UPDATE: It helps to actually link to the ad in question.
