You might have already seen Black Eyed Peas' frontman Will.i.am's video based on Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" speech. Directed by Bob Dylan's son, the video also includes Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Common, Herbie Hancock, Tatyana Ali and others as they recite and sing lines from Obama's New Hampshire primary speech over top of the Senator's original delivery, as seen on split screen. It's a bit corny, but I thought it was pretty cool and original nonetheless:
That is, I used to think it was cool and original .... until I saw that he blatantly ripped off the original version from John McCain:
Jesus christ, I honestly don't know how Will.i.am sleeps at night given such outright theft and plagarism. They should call his group the "Black Eyed Thieves!"
McCain/Huckabee 08-- they’re original, not to mention compassionate conservatives!
