Lena Khan Continues To Kick Ass, This Time With Obama Ads

by HijabMan :: posted 9 October 08

In other events around blogistan, Lena Khan, the filmmaker who won the 2007 One Nation Film Contest last year with an INGENIOUS music video for Kareem Salama’s “A Land Called Paradise” has come out with a set of even more INGENIOUS spoofs of everyone’s favorite Mac ads.

In the place of a Mac? Obama.

In the place of a PC? McCain.

Result? Cute. Familiar. Effective.

You should also check her first film, The Sleeper Cell

Also this week, I’ve been reading/listening to some pieces on what Time Magazine labels Twixters:

Social scientists are starting to realize that a permanent shift has taken place in the way we live our lives. In the past, people moved from childhood to adolescence and from adolescence to adulthood, but today there is a new, intermediate phase along the way. The years from 18 until 25 and even beyond have become a distinct and separate life stage, a strange, transitional never-never land between adolescence and adulthood in which people stall for a few extra years, putting off the iron cage of adult responsibility that constantly threatens to crash down on them. They’re betwixt and between. You could call them twixters.

I also suggest listening to Gary Cross, author of Men To Boys: The Making Of Modern Immaturity, on Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane
