This was posted by [livejournal.com profile] e_to_the_ipi in a slightly tangential response to one of my earlier posts, but I think that it needs some more exposure. It must be said at this point that I'm not sure what I'm actually watching here, but I think that it does nonetheless.

As far as I can tell, it's a summary of the news of the Scottish independence referendum as seen through the eyes of someone who's taken a vast quantity of acid, rendered in 3D to make David Cameron look even more like an android than he normally does. I don't think I've ever seen any examples of Taiwanese humour before, but I have to admire both the detail of David Cameron's Margaret Thatcher pin-up calendar, and the fact that Alex Salmond appears to be played here by Rab C Nesbitt... along with several other details that really have to be seen to be believed. I wouldn't have expected things like that to turn up even in most Western videographers' efforts.

If you happen to watch The Daily Show, they commissioned this same "news company" to provide coverage of the Royal Wedding since "comedy programs were not allowed to show the footage". It resulted in the wedding being ...um, well, here (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-may-3-2011/exclusive---the-wedding-banners-uncensored). Be noted that Paddington Bear, the Queen Mum, and Hitler make appearances.

I have to admit, I found it amusing that they wish to hold the referendum "on the 700th anniversary of Mel Gibson's death". But why does that Scottish guy (alongside the redshirt) look like a Lego figurine?
