Political Advertisement

Haha! Ok if you haven't seen Mitt Romney Style, you're missing out on this lovely piece of dominant point of view! But if you like Mitt Romney, then maybe you shouldn't watch. It's very oppositional. The music video is a spoof of Gangnam Style, a popular K-Pop song. It's not necessarily an advertisement, but it does advertise against Romney and makes him look bad. It doesn't compare him to Obama either, actually the other party isn't brought up at all. It's a very oppositional piece, using humor to make Mitt look like a bad candidate to run a country. It makes him look like he's super dependent on other people such as the humorous clip where he has a butler to wipe him after the bathroom. Also it shows Mitt blowing up boxes of money without a care and getting away with things such as getting out of tax hole loops because he's "awesome". It's scary because it looks like he doesn't know what to do with money. It would be bad for him to run if he can't be responsible with his own spending. The video shows him with having the good life with wealthy ladies, girls fanning him, relaxing on a golf course, owning a private jet, and having a horse in the Olympics which he does't even watch! Viewers get that he's a millionaire with no care in the world, living the millionaire life with plenty of money to spend. The bottom line what I think viewers get out of in this video is that America is in debt and we therefore can't allow Mitt to be president. We wouldn't be able to sustain his "Mitt Romney Style" of wasting money and consumption.
