This video just made me laugh so hard, I had to share it with you all. I am not making any political statement's regarding this video. It may be offensive to some both in terms of content, and possibly in its generalizing of the Russian people. Enjoy!
Okay, pretty funny. But let me be the boring ole' perfesser here and ask you to unpack this a bit -- is there a post here on The Semiotics of Funny YouTube Videos about VP Candidate Sarah Palin? Why is it funny? And do such things matter, and if so, how and why? It might serve as a good entree into an examination of the "Tina Fey Effect," or some such. For examples.

This will somewhat connect to my post on Recount, (coming soon) and how comedy is used to convey a deeper message.
