Politics (Un)Seriously

In preparation for the madness that is expected to descend upon the District of Columbia during the Inauguration, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has a very odd video out explaining how to use the city's subway system. From the poorly-dubbed Obama voice over to the gruesome murder of an inflatable Edvard Munch 'Scream' doll, it's hard to tell if they were going for b-movie camp or just don't have the slightest clue how to put together a video. And the cardboard cutouts of Obama and Biden riding up a Metro escalator are priceless. Anyway, it's quite entertaining, even if our obsession on the production value detracted from the intended message and we still have no idea how to use the Metro.
