The best example of satire we had was probably Family Guy - Undecided Voters. i love that clip. Literally, the clip is saying that undecided voters are very stupid, and respond extraordinarily well to pointless answers about 9/11, and jesus, and stuff like that. It is actually revealing a very deep and characteristic part of American politics. Voters don't seem to actually care about the views of politicians, they care about friendliness, charm, a good smile, They respond to the "hang-out-able-ness" of politicians. They like the sound of someone's voice, they vote for them. It's terrible - it means the politicians elected to office are not those that will do the best job for the country, they are those with the charm to manipulate the masses. It is a very eye-opening clip.
