Sunday Funnies: 'The Lying King' Exposes Media's Palin Attacks

September 14th, 2008 12:41 PM

I have no idea who made this video, but it marvelously uses a song from the hit Disney film "The Lion King" to expose what's behind the media's bloodthirsty attacks on Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin (h/t Copius Dissent via NBer stratman):

Absolutely delicious.

*****Update: After a request from me, the creator of this video has offered some insights about him and it...

Yes, its simply the German version of the Lion King and I tried to match the word sounds to English as if they were really saying these things in German.

Advocate1234 made an awesome DNC "War room" video that was from a WW2 movie (in German) that he added English subtitles to. It made it  look like the Generals were arguing about what to do about the Palin pick. This inspired me to try out the same website "Overstream". The site is very easy to use (I have never made a video before) and easily allows you to add subtitles to any video you find on YouTube. I looked for something in German and remembered that scene from Lion King- which I found on YouTube. Advocate1234 was nice enough to reproduce it for me on YouTube where its getting lots of hits and good comments.

Like Todd Palin, I am a " stay at home" father with 4 beautiful kids and a wonderful hardworking wife. [...]

A few notes on the vid itself:

-The crescent moon at the end was in the original video, it was not added by me.
-The "Mommies belong in the kitchen" line by the goose-stepping media types seems to really get people fired up.

Yes, it does.
