Beware Barack Obama!

[slumber]

SO a couple of nights ago I was re-watching one of my favourite shows in the world, and a scene just really struck me as very, very relevant to today's current issues.

A man had just been voted to premiership, and three people were sitting around a living room telly, talking about him. Slightly paraphrased:

"I was going to vote for him," said the girl.

"Oh really?" one of the men asked.

"Yeah, me too," the second man said.

"Why?"

"I don't know," the girl said, "But I liked him."

"Yeah. He was always good to hear," the second man agreed.

"I felt safe," said the girl, tapping her fingers on the cup she held.

And then The Doctor frowned, because he'd heard that drumming sound before Martha was tapping out on her cup before, and then Harold Saxon started talking on the telly, and their telly got blown up and they had to be on the run because they were suspected terrorists--

But I'm getting ahead of myself. :|

Because you know-- maybe the United Kingdom didn't work out much for The Master, but he's definitely set his eyes on America since then! And I can't believe no one's pointed it out before.

Yes, flist. Obama is The Master! I need an icon for that. Come on-- good orator, rose to prominence fairly recently (when did we *really* start hearing about Obama, hmm? *narrows eyes*), bewitches the world with his words...

Observe what he did to the world when he was in power (PS: What follows is spoilerific of Doctor Who 3x12):

I would worry if I were you, flist.

I would. *nods solemnly*




PS: You know I love you guys hardcore, but as I really didn't invest myself in this whole election as little more than a bemused and fascinated observer, I thought last night that the reactions to his speech were interesting (Transcript available here, btw, thanks to morganashkevron who posted it). Actually, the reactions to him are, in general.

PPS: I can totally start a Real-Life Quibbler-esque blog of crackpot conspiracy theories, y/n?

Nah, Obama can't be the Master - Obama looks hotter in a suit.

*nods knowingly* Mijan knows these things.

However, it's quite likely that McCain is Davros, creator of the Daleks. Don't you see the resemblance?

OMG I would have argued that The Master was hotter-- SEE? They are both agreed upon by certain demographics to be pretty, too.

*cracks up*

Ohh, and remember that thing going around before that Palpatine looked like the new Pope?

Man, there is SO much material in all of this for a real Quibbler!

I wonder... is there a Quibbler LJ community? I'd love to create one as a Muggle-Wizard hybrid tabloid/conspiracy-theory publication, in which community members spoof real-life politics and stories with over-the-top wizarding analogies.

Does that exist?

My thoughts exactly! I don't know if one exists right now-- I don't think it does, but that it should so totally happen.

Shall we start one? Ooooh, this would be fun. It would be a version of "Election Watch" for fandom, and anyone with a twisted sense of humor.

What do you think?

Haha, let's! Hey, if it helps, there's already one article up for it, lol. But that would be awesome. :D

(PS. Also, I'm running to the Apple store to get my Mac, which has died, I think, repaired somewhat, but like. Let's discuss this. :D)

lmfao win. I was sitting here reading that and going, 'Wow that sounds familiar.' and then you mentioned the name and I was like, 'Dur.'

But dood. He's so the Master. He killded our leader, so he has to take over now. He has a big opening.
