Go straight to 3:54 in this clip (with Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and other ‘famous people’):
Wow. Um. I can’t even begin to comment.
Funny though, as soon as I saw this my reflexes involuntarily kicked in. My immediately pushed my chair back away from the computer and covered my mouth with my hands in sheer revulsion and horror – and was then almost paralyzed for 5 seconds.
I mean. Wow. Even re-watching it I get this spine-tingling feeling of sheer terror. As if the servant stuff wasn’t bad enough, the monotone, in unison chanting straight after…I shudder. This is seriously, seriously scary stuff.
And people though I was exaggerating.
H/T: Will Willkinson
Update: It’s been pointed out to me that Harpo Productions, who are shown at the end as the producers, is Oprah Whinfrey’s Production Company. Interesting.

I pledge to get a Republican back in the White House so Hollywood actors can do their promos/trailers for television networks/big budget action films and leave Presidential inaugurations alone!

Songs they could have used as the backing song for this:
* The Internationale
* The national anthem of the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea
* The Worker’s Marseillaise
* Hallelujah, I’m a Bum
