Viral Eminem parody: 'Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up'
March 20, 2012
An Australian man has created what may be the best video of the 2012 election season so far.
Hugh Atkin, an Australian lawyer who has been creating viral videos on YouTube since 2007, has produced a parody of rapper Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady."
The video begins with a mashup of President Barack Obama asking, "Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up?"
The parody goes on to piece together clips of the Republican presidential candidate speaking about his positions on the poor, abortion, contraception and immigration. It also mocks Romney's religion, his singing and the story about him forcing a dog to ride on the roof of his station wagon.
"Uh ... with regards to abortion ... uh ... You can choose your own adventure. It's a Republican dementia," Romney raps. "And I'm more concerned about the banks: They're unable to lend. Corporations are people, my friend. My dog is on the roof. My dog is on the roof. Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?"
According to YouTube, the video had been viewed over 12,000 in less than 24 hours.
