Volkswagen: The Force

See, ads like this are the reason why the Super Bowl exists.



And comments like this* are the reason why the internet is excellent:

That little bro really does have the Force... got that lady to give him a sandwich!

Can't we make stuff like this all the time, every day?

*But also, and maybe primarily, things like this.

The Juxtaposition is the Message.

My friend Bertrand, who runs the blog VOTW ("vision of the world" - his, that is), sent me this picture of a book stand at a Border's in New York.

I can't make out whether this is a blow for W. or for the Star Wars franchise. But I suppose it merits taking into account that where we are in US politics is in part a result of the various states of WTF thrown at us over the course of the Bush, Jr. administration. We're all half-awake, kids like Skywalker, going, "Did the Force help us through that? Is it still with us? Was it ever...?"

Reflection to be continued, hopefully with scrolling text and epic background music.
