It's 3 a.m. Parody

This "It's 3am" Clinton advertisement parody might be more to the point than the original "scare the sheeple" videos being released by presidential candidates. Are you scared enough to vote yet?

The original version is funnier.

We've traced the call--it's coming from inside the U.S.!

It's 3:00 AM somewhere in the world. However, right here it's dinnertime. And I want pancakes. Really. Pancakes. It's not asking for much.

Speaking of whatever:
One of the other offices on the floor where I work seems to be staffed entirely by impossibly old men who move very very slowly and all wear suspenders. To be perfectly frank, I believe I may be working in what will one day be another Crimson Permanent Assurance.

Eh. It'd make more sense if the punchline was "I'm Vito Corleone and I approve this message"

That might have been funny if it had ended up with a kid waking up screaming with a severed hobby-horse head in his bed.

Not saying that would make it FUNNY, per se, just functional as a parody.

I don't quite get the 3am meme. If the terrorists do intend to pull another 9/11, I hope they do it at 3am. Who the hell is working at that hour? Investment bankers don't count.

It's 3 AM because your children are asleep at 3 AM, and thereby extra-vulnerable to terroristic attacks.

Unless there's a nuke involved (in which case sleeping is pretty irrelevant), most of us aren't worried about the terrorists messing with our little homes.

Why exactly is Clinton running an add for John McCain anyway?

Thanks to snarky comments, I don't have to waste time and click the links.
Now it all makes sense.

Hillary is, all made up, and dressed. Just like the Pinkertons, she never sleeps, which might go a ways to explaining that weird, bug-eyed stare she's got.
