“Purge” Trailer “Too Real” For CNN Republican Debate
For many watching the Republican debates on CNN from The University of Houston, Texas yesterday, the theatrical banality of the ideological vitriol got a little too picture perfect when it came to the well crafted and subversive undertones of a 30 second television spot for the upcoming Universal Pictures release, “The Purge: Election Year” which has an official theatrical release date of July 1, 2016. “The Purge: Election Year” is the third installment in the Universal Pictures science fiction horror franchise based on the idea that America has been reconfigured into a highly polarized police state where one night a year the government has an event called “The Purge.” During “The Purge,” for 12 hours starting at 7pm and ending at 7am the next day, all crime is legal and all police, fire and medical emergency services are effectively out of commission. Exempt from attack during “The Purge” and also to be left undisturbed are all government officials with authorization levels of 10 or higher, as well as the top tier “New Founding Fathers of America,” who are directly responsible for creating “The Purge” as a social science experiment that efficiently “purges” the country of it’s least desirable and most expendable members as the poor are routinely earmarked as the “best” victims during this night of institutionalized mayhem and violence. In the latest “Purge” movie, fittingly titled “The Purge: Election Year,” a new female candidate for the presidency looks to end the purge upon election, calling the concept of a purge inherently unjust and therefore wrong. Naturally, some of the “New Founding Fathers” want to stop her by means that are less than kosher with regards to the current police state system of checks and balances. As such, in a brilliant play of gorilla cinema verite, Universal bought time during last night’s Republican debates to run a very official “Pro Purge” campaign commercial. The effect was as high on impact as it was on confusion as many viewers initially believed that the commercial was real and relevant to the 2016 Presidential race, as seen here direct from twitter: @TheKyleHardy Oh my god I thought that advertisement for the new Purge movie was literally an ad for a GOP candidate Chaz strothers @Oneleaflow_chaz That new movie trailer for #Purge3 was alil too normal looking for me lol Kristofer Kay @KtotheAY Mad respect for the new PURGE trailer that came off as the most Republican thing in this debate. #Purge3#GOPDebate Carrie @TheTrueCarrie Best part of #GOPDebate the new #Purge3 ad Here is what they are all talking about: No doubt, some executives at Universal are feeling pretty pleased with themselves right about now whether it’s Republicans or Dems who end up looking pretty come November.
Senator Marco Rubio Calls Jay-Z Cuba Trip “Hypocritical”
(AllHipHop News) It appears the controversy over Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s recent trip to Cuba lingers on. Yesterday, Florida senator, second generation Cuban-American, and possible 2016 Republican presidential contender Marco Rubio appeared on several Sunday news shows and repeatedly took the two superstars’ choice to travel to the Communist nation to task. “Quite frankly, I think it’s hypocritical of the people who took that trip, because they didn’t go down there and meet with some of the people that are actually in trouble today,” Rubio told CNN’s Candy Crowley on State of the Union. “There’s a hip-hop artist in Cuba who is on a hunger strike and has been persecuted because he has political lyrics in his songs,” Rubio added. “If they really wanted to know what was going on in Cuba, they should have met with some of the people that are suffering there, not simply smoke cigars and take a stroll down the street.” During an interview on ABC, Rubio also said Jay-Z needed to get informed about Che Guevara who was a key figure in the Fidel Castro led Cuban Revolution in the 1950’s. “One of [Jay-Z’s] heroes is Che Guevara,” said Rubio. “Che Guevara was a racist that wrote extensively about the superiority of white Europeans over people of African descent, so he should inform himself on the guy that he’s propping up.” Jay-Z has been seen wearing t-shirts with Che’s image on it, and even referred to himself as “Che Guevara with bling on” on the track “Public Service Announcement” from 2003’s The Black Album. He later explained the context of the reference in his book Decoded stating that it was a response to a writer who questioned his decision to wear a Che shirt with a Jesus piece because of its apparent clash between the ideas of materialism, religion, and socialism. Jay told MTV in 2010: The second verse of “PSA” may not have that many hidden jewels in [it], but the story behind why I wrote the second verse is pretty interesting. It’s sort of that look on rap, how this writer had written this article about me wearing this Che Guevara shirt [with a] Jesus piece, and she was like, “The Jesus piece is hitting his head,” and I was like, “You’re going a little too far. It’s a T-shirt and a chain. It’s not literally hitting his forehead”… That [experience] inspired the entire verse. “I’m like Che Guevara with bling on, I’m complex.” It’s the whole entire story of how and why I came to write that second verse on “PSA.” Last week’s criticism about his sanctioned trip to Cuba led to the release of the response song “Open Letter”. The public will have to wait and see if Senator Rubio receives a mention in a future Jay track.
