And Now For Something, Erm, Classified.



I am very lucky to have some highly intelligent commenters here.

If any of you can tell me what the #&% this geezer is on about, I would be most grateful.

Also, is this some sort of record? The chap uses the word "classified" 19 times in 1 minute 47 seconds.

It boils down to "Give my campaign donors $[classified] on the off-chance that [classified] event should happen]".

I'm sorry, but if I told you the answer I would have to kill you....

Thanks Mark.

But you are 17 "classifieds" short of a Black Op.

Not sure I fit the intelligent category, so let's call this my boxing day party piece.

One clue we have here is the ref. to "enormous size and other worldly strengths" at 1min.10.
Revolution Harry recently posted an article: "Television and the Hive Mind" in which he told the story of the 1938 US radio production of H.G.Wells' War of the Worlds, in which "an estimated one million people believed the world was actually under attack by Martians."
So let's introduce a few holographic flying saucers and aliens, plus a whole host of 21st century special effects, a dumbed down population and voila.
This "bill" would seem to be in preparedness for such an event.

Thanks Lost.

It was very well done.

I'll get me family out of the bunker. Oh, the money I've spent on Bacofoil....

I was going to say that this was beyond Python, though now I know it's a spoof it's worrying how believable it is!

Captain Ranty said...

It had me fooled.

As you say, this could easily be real.
