crush on obama

The latest 'obama girl' video was released today, and some feminist bloggers are not happy about it.

The series of music video parodies in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama were dreamed up by an Ad Exec and created in collaberation with music video producers Larry Strong and Kevin Arbouet.

The latest video features a pussycatdolls-style pillow fight between the buxom supporters of Obama and GOP candidate Rudy Giuliani.

The bottom line is, the video is funny.

The target is not the objectifying tropes of music promos, but the rough and tumble of the presidential election process. They are harnessing popular culture as it is, in order to make a point (and, more importantly, to sell t-shirts and itunes downloads).
