Death by Chocolate
If you happened to catch Saturday Night Live this past weekend, you will be familiar with the two part mini-skit called “Death by Chocolate.” After watching it again tonight, I found some interesting parallels to the 2008 election. Before I explain my theories/correlations, please watch both videos because they are funny in and of themselves in a morbid sort of way.
Now, before I go off on this little conspiracy theory-esque explanation, let me preface this by the fact that its been a long day and I am very tired. Therefore, come morning, I could read this post and shake my head in disbelief that I actually publish something so crazy. Keep that in mind as you read the following explanation.
First off, what makes me think that this could be some sort of analogy for the 2008 election race is that fact the show’s opening skit (not the Death by Chocolate skit) had all three of the presidential candidates in it. In this skit, everyone seems to admit that Barack is going to be the next president with no questions asked. Even General Patreus believes that Barack is going to win. This set the tone for the rest of the show.
Now, if you don’t see where I’m going with this after watching the videos plus reading the above paragraph, I will spell it out for you in detail. First off, I believe that the giant chocolate bar symbolizes Barack Obama. Where in the world would would I get that idea? Well, being raised by the “typical white person” must mean that he has some whiteness inside of him just like Ashton Kutcher was inside the giant chocolate bar.
Still not seeing the similarities? Don’t worry, I got more. The old man who is rummaging around in the trash is obviously John McCain because who else would be as oblivious to a giant chocolate bar dancing around you with a knife. He’s old and he was probably looking around for his hearing aid in the trash.
Need more proof? Well you’re in luck. The second part is obviously about how Clinton’s campaign has been on life support and is quickly fading since the polls are showing Barack with an impressive lead. Obviously, he is going to get rid of her and, in the process, some how destroy the health system as we know it (the bullet to the doctor’s chest).
The only good thing about this whole skit if it is an accurate prediction of how the election will end up is the fact that Barack owns a gun and knows how to use it. Maybe this will mean that he will let the rest of us enjoy the right to have our own (doubtful).
Well, there you have it folks, my very own “Death by Chocolate” interpretation. Hope you enjoyed it and I hope that I won’t regret this in the morning…
