Since this video's release, people have felt inclined to do one of two things - either bash me for being Communist -OR- praise me for being a fellow comrade. Let me be perfectly clear that this video does not reveal my standpoint on Communism. Instead, it parodies the American mindset on Russian Communism.
You should know that this video was NOT made to viewed by tens of thousands of people. When I was in high school, I had the chance to make videos that would be viewed by the entire student body. Since there was no real guidelines as to what I should make, I thought it would be funny to make a McCarthy style documentary warning students and faculty about the dangers of a particular cartoon that nobody even watches anymore. Hearing the USSR National Anthem boom throughout a public American campus was perhaps one of the funniest moments of my high school years. I suppose the message I'm trying to get across to the viewers is this; take this video with a grain of salt - the whole six minutes and thirty seconds is one big long joke anyways. Watch it for what it's worth.
By the way, I'm not Russian nor have I ever been to Russia. I do have an uncanny taste for vodka though.
mmm, mmmm, mmmmpf
