Tuesday, August 03, 2004Subservient President?
By now you're all familiar with Subservient Chicken, the strange website promotion for Burger King that popped up out of nowhere last winter. A political parody was inevitable, thus the existence of Subservient President. Put together for peanuts, the site allows visitors to type in commands below herky-jerky footage of a man in a George Bush Deux mask. While not nearly as creepy as the chicken, Subservient President doesn't do much. I'm not sure if this is part of the gag. I've tried commands like "scratch your butt" along with blander ones like "give a speech" and "type on the computer." So far, nothing. Maybe he only works for oil industry big-wigs (*groan*)? Feel free to try it for yourself. I'm curious to see if anyone else can get El Presidente to do anything. UPDATE: "Start a war" makes SP walk towards the screen and point at a picture of Saddam. Come on, isn't this more fun than the Jib Jab short? That thing is soooooo, like, yesterday.
