Corbett's spacey new Campaign Video has already been satirized - Its "Planet Corbett"

From Tom Wolf for PA Governor:

"Governor Corbett released a video about his record in the style of a Hollywood movie trailer. It even features a deep voice over, overly dramatic music, and sweeping pans of Earth.

It really is a ridiculous video -- but we've managed to get our hands on some footage Corbett left out that tells the full story about a place so out of touch it could only be known as "Planet Corbett."



Here's an article with a link to Corbett's original ad. It looks like one of the many TV ads the Koch Brothers had made to support fracking, instead of a campaign video for PA. Governor.

I liked the original 1950s video much better.

Speaking of movie trailers, he is a really funny trailer that shows what would have happened if the studio had decided to try to market Monty Python and the Holy Grail as an action movie.
