DROGA FOR OBAMA

Check this video from the agencyspy.com site in the US:
Says agencyspy: “Droga5 and Sarah Silverman have thrown their hats in the fiercepolitical furnace that is the 2008 Presidential Election. Pro-ObamaJewish voters have organized to mobilize young Jews to go to Florida toconvince their grandparents to vote for Obama. The Jewsvote.org campaign is called the “The Great Schlep” and stars the fabulous Sarah Silverman.Droga5 produced the video. One of the good things about Droga is thatthey manage to keep their fingers in all the right pots.”

Producers or originators of the idea?
Very, very funny but where’s the Droga 5 work for Oz?
That’s funny….
I really liked this one:

Or the Hockey Mom’s against Palin:

Let’s hope we can finally have someone who hasn’t frequented the bohemian grove as a president!
but where’s the real work?
Droga has a youtube channel. Some of it is on other blogs. I just think they probably don’t want to promote it too much, don’t know why, but I admire the quiet achiever model.
Is this an Amenerican blog: where’s the Droga5’s Australian work?
What a pisser. Now if only Droga had done the same thing for Howard and Costello we wouldn’t be stuck with dudd!
This is brilliant work.
5:53 I know the last thing you’d want to hear is a history lesson, as you obviously have never listened to one before, but historically Democrats have been closer to Labour and Republicans Liberal.
Why would Dro5a want to elect a fascist Government that believes in war, inequality and inequity in the workplace and classes and favours the rich not the poor?
Have you met the guy?! He’s not a prick.
hey Paul – that black eye peas obama speech almost made me cry. very powerful, spoken like a true leader, a jfk, a george washington…. momentous.
i’ve got the nick name ‘crocodile skin’ around the place but that packed a punch right through my heart.
does anyone know who wrote his speech?
mmmmm… dunno?
cool, but what about the genuine ads?
Or are you going to claim you creatted the first black president?
Obama writes his own speeches. No copywriters involved. How anyone can get by without copywriters is beyond me, but there you go.
11:08… obviously a powerful orator then.
At the end of the day, everything’s dictated by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sDXHXdvV1E&feature=related
I’m shocked no one has suggested to Droga be President yet!
Next year at Cannes, I’m going to give out knee pads with a D on each pad for all of his fans.
When our president had the hide to comment on Australian politics while visiting, the public, the PM and the press collectively said ‘mind your own business…..keep out of our affairs’.
Given that, why do you imbeciles continue to meddle in American politics. We don’t care what you think……..you are an ink blot at the bottom of the globe with the population of Idaho. Yesterday your PM gave a speech about climate change at the UN………to an empty house. The grown up world was in Washington awaiting congress decision on the bailout. Check out the footage on youtube…..even the Australian delegate fell asleep during his speech.
Go away small country.
does droga do real work or is proactive social really the new scam. droga lead the way!
hilarious.
I hope it works.
Smart, smart , smart and funny.
you said it 6.19am.
Fuck you Droga for doing interesting work on things that matter. Show us your Harvey Norman ads.
Comparing Howard and Costello with Obama, wow, what planet are you living on?
6:18 am
Reasons why you should listen to smaller countries:
Australian economy:1 American economy: 0
Plus the fact that australians can travel the world without having to pretend they’re Canadians.
Maybe if you stopped bring so arogant you might still have some mates on this planet, mate.
Or you can just shoot everyone.
Why do we get to see this but not VB?
6:18
The ‘small countries’ of the world (and by that I refer to our waistlines as well as our geographical size) are so concerned about your upcoming election for a number of reasons.
I think the main one is that we simply don’t understand why you seem to think that the last eight years were particularly special.
Your economy has collapsed. You’ve lost over 4000 troops in a war you shouldn’t have started, you haven’t caught Bin Laden, the World hates you and your president’s approval rating is is 24% – the lowest in history I believe.
It’s almost amusing to watch you pontificate about the choice between a Harvard educated brilliant mind, and an elderly representative of the party that got you into this armageddon in the first place. (Oh, and his Mensa VP is hilarious.)
I mean, surely, there can’t be any reason to vote them back in is there?
Oh, fuck. Yes there is.
He’s black.
11:49 AM for President. I salute you.
Who’s Sarah Silverman?
7:13 actually the US Democrats are more right wing than our our Liberal party if you look closely at their policies.
Sorry, I’m Jewish and I take offense to this. Screw Sarah Silverman. And sorry Dave, give me a break.
I love her but she’s recycling some old jokes here… shame.
Guys, I think Captain America was being sarcastic and trying to get someone to take the bait. Bait taken.
Every American I know, myself included thinks the last 8 years has been an absolute embarrassment and not representative of the population who initially voted against George Bush. We all want our dignity back and anyone with a brain knows the man from Columbia and Harvard Law is the one to get it back.
Watch this though. Pretty funny.

My neighbour’s ex-wife used to live with the sister of the gardener who used to work for the ex pool cleaner of Steven Spielberg’s uncle’s college housemate’s brother’s fiance’s former bank manger.
Do you reckon I can I get a credit for his next blockbuster? Or should the real credit go somewhere else? Like, say, the very witty and sassy Sarah Silverman?

anyway, the world doesn’t hate america. the world hates american politics. they are obsessed with every other facet of american society. from our movies to our burgers. love all the aussies wearing abercrombie and hollister shirts they bought on holiday in san diego. maccas was doing alright last time i checked. think coke’s still movin’ a lot of beverages.
my point is that intelligent people can separate a people and a culture from the government. because i think we could say the same things about australia and australians under the howard government.
and i think any american posting on this blog is fairly liberal and a democrat, so we all more or less are on the same side. and i do understand why americans politics are important to people in other countries, because decisions we make affect the world.
other than canada, australia is the most american country around. we like you, you like us. we’re ultimately on the same team.
618 and 1149 are both idiots. a typical ignorant american and a typical self-conscious aussie. get over yourselves.
Does anyone know if pie night is happening this year?
1.58pm
I think they created the whole Schlep idea (if the blogs are right)
Which is pretty damn funny. But to be honest, I wouldn’t care if it
wasn’t funny, as long as it helps even a tiny bit.
Well I am Jewish and I also want to screw Sarah Silverman.
1:59, Australia firmly believes the vast majority of Americans are cock knockers. Politics has nothing to do with it. It’s true. Beat it.
The point is, Hawthorn won the Grand Final.
2.57 – Pie Night apparently is happening. Expect an email I reckon.
GO HAWTHORN!
Yes I agree, most americans are cock knockers, and I’m a jewish Australian. One thing I can’t stand about this film tho is her voice. It’s like that chick from the nanny… kind of grating.
Should have got Larry David to do it. Now he’s funny and he does yiddish humour much better.
“Obama takes an unusually hands-on approach to his speech writing, more so than most politicians. ….. These late-night sessions produced long, meandering texts that were then circulated to a close group of advisers, including Axelrod and Obama’s speechwriter Jon Favreau—a 27-year-old wunderkind wordsmith.”
They’re called speechwriters, not copywriters.

Are you fucking retarded?
11:07. I CONCUR!
Who are the dicks from the big country who wiped 1 trillion off the stock exchange?
Hodge is a soldier. Deserved the Norm Smith medal.
Happy New Year.
I read Droga had the “problem” brought to them…how to get young jews involved…and this is what they came up with…brilliant!
