What says me
The sanguine soapbox of Bjorn Borstelmann
I made Obama say cupcakes are good for your health!
So… President Obama had a town hall meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina today. He was welcomed by a local cupcake bakery owner, and he bemoaned the fact that she hadn’t brought him cupcakes… then he recited the logline from a fake news video I made last February at Miami Ad School Minneapolis and sent to the White House; “I think cupcakes are good for your health!” Here’s a video of him saying it in his speech today:
And here’s the video I made and sent to the White House last February, 5 months back:
I’m totally tickled he actually likes cupcakes as much as I made him say he does! The idea seemed to go over well with the crowd at the town hall, and with Twitter… although now there’s a “have your cupcake and eat it too” controversy… but that was foreseen…
Sadly, I don’t think I’m going to get any credit for this one; my video is probably too lame for prime time… but I wonder if I can get a job writing things like this for the president all the time…
Obama: I graduate soon – call me. You probably know my number.
One Comment so far ...
You’d be wasted writing bon mots for politicians. You might want to do another video citing the odd coincidences here and what role the mysterious Mr. B may or may not have had with setting events in motion. I’ll Tweet this to the 7,000 people following the school.
