Hey, I figured we can use a smile, even here on the politics board.
Here is a Japanese magician imitating the Obamas -- I thought it was pretty funny. What do you think?
The website I saw it on called it "terrifying and confusing", but I don't understand why. It's all in Japanese, but there are English words for the important words...

Let me know what you think: funny, or terrifying and confusing?

It was pretty good trick but I did not think it was anything special.

The tricks were OK -- normal and none I haven't seen before. It was just funny the way they tried to look like the Obamas and the way they kept saying Change, Yes You Can.

I think it depends on your expectations. It was a different kind of parody. I am not really into magic shows. It was strange for him to have a black face and white hands.
