She’s Fucking a Dead Horse
I realize the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” bit has become the joke that wouldn’t die, but the particular episode in this ongoing gag has some relevance to a post I just made at one of the other blogs I contribute to, about a New York Times article discussing the way that online word of mouth is becoming key to campaigning among younger voters. I think videos like the above also demonstrate that these sort of word of mouth or “viral” models of distribution also are a key way that people engage with and comment on the political realm. It might not be heady analysis, but it’s commentary nonetheless — perhaps in the vein that fan videos are commentary on tv shows or movies.
