World's Biggest Bollywood Star To Be Next Prime Minister of the United States

(((I have no idea who these people are, but boy are they working hard at political parody. It's like long-tail satire for Indian expatriates. I'm quite the Bollywood fan, but this is coming in from way under the radar... look how well-animated those cartoons are. And it's also
FUNNY. I mean, you have to be heavily erudite about American and Indian politics to appreciate the injokes here, but it's funny. And I don't mean
Johny Lever funny, I mean it's *actually* funny.)))

(((Where is the budget for an effort like this?
Who watches it? Besides David Chute, I mean.
Thanks, David!)))

Bollywood is the Biggest Wood

By Appropriated Press, March 14, 2008

For all you “lunchpail Democrats” and “rank-and-file Republicans” who wield their lunchpails, ranks, and files from deep within the American heartland, you might be wondering: Is America really ready to elect an Indian prime minister? Who does this Amitabh think he is anyway, trying to corrupt our American values and outsource our votes? Where is India?

Look into your souls, America. Many of you supported Arnold Schwarzenegger, a lonely, rippling outcast from an upstart film town called “Hollywood.” And yet this Hollywood, with its torn-up sidewalks and inferior liquor, is but a pale shadow of the biggest, most fertile wood in the history of cinema. Bollywood is the biggest wood. And that Americans even consider supporting the inferior, the secondary, the not-biggest…it would threaten the very foundations on which this country is built....
