Latest '3AM' Parody Uncovers The Real Threat Facing America

This latest parody of that silly "3AM And There's A Phone Ringing" commercial comes from Public Service Administration, the same folks who brought you the "John.He.Is" video that rallied a nation to the cause of a hundred years of pointless wars with the folk-rap stylings of John McCain. Their parody of "3AM" - which, trust me, is a lot funnier and free-er than Semi-Pro - pointedly identifies the real threat that terrorizes the nation: the army of dark, stentorian voice-over professionals who populate campaign ads. And they are scary, my friends. Why, if John McCain wants to fight voice-over narrators for the next ten-thousand years, that's something we can all get behind. Huh? Right? Are you with me? Seriously, though, John McCain is going to get many of us killed.

I don't get it. You mean the smartest , bravest and gosh darn, the best people in the whole gosh darn world shouldn't crap their pants every time it gets dark and a phone buzzes, chimes, vibrates, plays Beethoven or Mozart on their night-stand?

(Telephones will be the end of America as we know it.)

No, but this is going to have hard time going viral. Someone should edit it down a bit and remove the parts that are off message.
