Fox has always done a good job of airing reality game shows that appeal to the lowest common denominator. But this week they took an ad for a future "Moment of Truth" episode to Ancient Roman levels.

Finally this week, whatever hope is left for the Clinton campaign will be shattered after this inspiring music video makes its way around the interwebs. If Barack Obama doesn't pick this as his official inaugural theme song, he doesn't deserve to be our next president.
