Life Imitates Parody

Barack Obama and his fans (fangirls, in particular) are becoming almost impossible to parody. The reality is sillier than any fiction a humorist can come up with. Thus, this Michael Ramirez cartoon, published last month, eerily anticipated the “sex” ad that the Obama campaign launched last week. Only I think the girl in the ad is a little bit creepier:

I do think, however, that Ramirez is a little pessimistic. He captions his cartoon, “What America has become.” I think it is actually only what 47% of America has become.
