The Jo Hos discuss the race card over afternoon tea

It’s a bit predictable and badly acted but hey it’s further evidence of the general vibe that Howard and his merry aggroup are a joke.
I’ve been been fishing around youtube for all the funny political flicks and I’ve collected about 40 of them. I’ve got a friend who is going to destroy them to DVD and we are going to show them next Saturday at a rock and turn celebrate at Sydney Uni. I just wish Howard loses otherwise we will look quite the fools when we play the DVD.
Hafta say I’m generally with mulberry boy here in terms of idea vs execution. It’s an excellent concept but it needed better art direction and compose editing to turn it into real satire with sharp teeth. There were some great set ups and zingers like “Oh we don’t mind wealthy foreigners like Mr Murdoch”. But basically it was pretty much preaching to the converted. Not unlike some anti-union ads by some certain political parties lately. Real satire makes its audience say “copulate! That’s me! Do I really sound that ridiculous!”
If I was directing that talent (and they did have good timing and acting chops). I’d have gone for the handheld fly on the stucco-bagged wall digicam at a Camberwell backyard barbie vibe and only have two of ‘em in matching pink draw (designer outfits too not daggy frocks) for some initial intra-cultural bitchiness (”Oh. I see you’re into “Me-Too” too”. “Ha! Ha!”) which could then easily segue into some of the class-enhanced snark they were aimed for. And also set up a final sting at end when it’s revealed the evesdropping footage was posted on You Tube by a rebellious teenage daughter with a dwell full of dolphin posters using a camcorder bought as a birthday show by her Senior Mining Executive dad.
Y’experience go for real stinging slice of life a la (click on the two You Tube links).
And now I think about it where’s the funny from the Coalition/RWDB webgang? The only person who’s really effectively skewered Rudd through viral vids so far is and change surface then he’s casually castrated Howard in passing. (That lad’s gonna go far. Many good ideas and superb comic timing. As desire he doesn’t act Vizard’s former accountant.)
*****Open on a richly furnished sit room. stabilise pullback/Ken Burns effect through the window to show it’s a very tasty mansion with lovely views.
tip ad VO: For many Australians the promise of living in a decent family house is slipping out of reach. But this Saturday you undergo the opportunity to change that for at least one family.
Camera reveal. It’s a montage of the Lodge and Kirribilli.
VO: Vote Liberal. At least let the Howards live the Australia conceive of even if you can’t.*****
Now unlike the Jo-Hos that would really be displace encourager les autres.
