I assume this the video?

Kim Jong Il doing a behind-the-back monster-jam is, indeed, one of the funnier things I've seen in a while.

I watched "Team America: World Police" last week, which also made me laugh. "Herro!"

I still believe in a carrot-and-stick approach. There should be a carrot, but there also has to be a big f'n stick to smack people with. People need to know that being our friends is fun, but they also need to remember that being our enemies is not fun.

I thought it was good but maybe not quite ready for prime time.

The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a "scary" campaign advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks of the 2006 campaign.

However, the advertisement was deemed "too hot" by GOP strategists all across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!

...

One GOP strategist said "jaws dropped" when the ad was first viewed. "Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top."

Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun." In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues and voted for President George W. Bush.

This is how you win elections. You crossover by style and message.

I have heard that there are many that would like to see Jon Stewart (from television) run for US presidency, but that much honesty and satire wouldn't be welcome by many, especially by those 'benefactors' of the party and the country.

Sure would be a novel approach, though, having honesty and politics mixed like that.

Good? You are in favour of propaganda pieces that say nothing of substance and try to rewrite history?

"Good" in the sense of "entertaining". But the video's point is valid as Kimmy noted above in referring to carrots and sticks.
