On the heels of President Barack Obama's visit to USC this Friday, I was delightfully tickled to see this little gem as I walked off campus today. I couldn't help but picture the President arriving tomorrow to the site of himself sporting a Hitler mustache. That can't be an easy pill to swallow. I imagine he'll start freaking out and the secret service guards will have to reign him in by rubbing his back for an hour and reassuring him that it's nonsense; "Oh come now Barack, Hitler was soooo mean and you're like a super swell guy!" Or, maybe they try to convince him it's actually a reference to
Michael Jordan. Or maybe they just avoid the trouble in the first place by sneaking up behind the people parading the poster around and choking them out
Metal Gear Solid style before the President's fragile psyche is shattered.
In any case, I just wish I could be on hand to see how that plays out. But alas, I don't have class on Fridays, so why the hell would I go to campus? To see the President? Ummm, no. I'll take sleeping in till noon thank you very much.
And lastly, I would just like to applaud the makers of this poster for their poignant and relevant comparison. Because let's be honest, when you think of another world leader who held power during a time of economic turmoil who comes to mind?... Hitler. Exactly.
