I stumbled across this “hastily-made tourism video for Cleveland” while looking for links about Ohio. If you’ve ever been there, you know that it’s funny because it’s true.
I found their first version:
The Economist has endorsed Obama for president, but why listen to some pink-double-cuff-shirted constipated Brits, when you can listen to some real down-home Americans from my ancestral state?
…or America’s favourite CEO, Mr. Charles Montgomery Burns?
…or poor little Abby, the little girl who just wishes the election would just end already?
In these increasingly aliterate and busy times, it’s good that people like Jessica Wise are reminding us why reading fiction is important.
