The latest political parody -- Sh*t Politicians Say -- just hit YouTube, keeping the unstoppable Sh*t [Insert Stereotype] Say meme alive for yet another day.
Go ahead and bemoan the meme all you want; you're still going to watch the clip. And you should because it has multiple purposes. Other than trying to induce laughs, the video serves as an advertisement disguised as a meme for Americans Elect. Let's call it a meme-vertisement for the the group's online political campaign.
Americans Elect dubs itself the "first nonpartisan nomination," which means it wants to provide Americans a third candidate -- not just a Democrat or Republican -- to vote for during the 2012 presidential race.
Sh*t Politicians Say landed just hours before Thursday night's Republican presidential debate and stars actor Joe Leon. In true political fashion, his character rattles off common jargon heard from people running for office.
Do these ring a bell? Moral fiber, family values, trust me, three-point plan, earmarks, tough question, children are our future, Washington outsider, jobs, my opponent -- all sound familiar.
Taking jabs at politicians is nothing new. For example, this presidential election season alone has spawned funny memes poking fun at Rick Santorum's sweater vests and Rick Perry's controversial "Strong" commercial.
Bonus: Political Gaffes Caught on Tape
Speaking of Rick Perry, remember his “Oops” memory lapse during a debate in November? That moment and these nine other gaffes have been etched into our mind’s eye for better or worse.
