As I watched this video with the subtitles and the reactions of the commentators speaking about President Obama’s speech on climate change, it certainly looks real. But unless you speak Egyptian, there’s no way to know. Sadly, as jaw-dropping as the subtitles are, they don’t seem to be that far-fetched. It would be even funnier if it weren’t so close to the truth. But then again, that’s the essence of parody. In the artists own words:
“Folks……this a spoof. It was never intended to be taken as a legitimate news report. Obviously two things are at play here. One, The job was done too well. Two, we have come to the stage in the Obama presidency where quite literally……….anything is possible.”
