Scanner Emily mentioned this yesterday, but after we caught it for ourselves, we thought it might deserve another mention. Because redubbing old pornos with new dialogue about the War on Terror is a fuckin' brilliant idea. After all, it's been five years of unrepentant, fetishistic whoredom, right in everyone's face on the TV and without an ounce of shame on the parts of the cocksuckers in charge. Sure sounds like porn to us.
But hey, you know what's a hardcore bummer? HItting the 2:00 mark on the video and finding a bunch of found footage and statistics about the War on Terror -- including a shot of some poor soul leaping off the World Trade Center.
Dude, filmmaker Arman Noory: as our good friend Eric Cartman says, you're breaking our balls here. You got a great metaphor here: we fuck the world, so when you want to discuss it, you use a bunch of people whose job it is to fuck to get your point across. That's funny and awesome. But you know what? When you got a conceit that powerful, you don't actually need all the money shots of the war, the tragedy, actual death and destruction, etc. We know, you made this for a school project so maybe you had to risk a bit of on-the-noseness. But still -- all that stuff struck us as, well, pornographic.
But keep at it, man; you got a good thing here. Stick to the redubbed porn clips; fine tune your ear for pithy, porn-appropriate dialogue; perfect both your method and your madness and in no time, we'll see ya at the...
Huh. Is there an Oscars for online videos?
