In Capitalist America...
Oct. 11th, 2008 01:33 am"In Soviet Russia" jokes are an old, tired internet meme. However, it seems that no one has flipped it around and tried to see what kind of jokes the same comedian could tell a 1980s era Soviet audience about how topsy-turvy life in America is.
Not familiar with the meme? Start here, and look at "russian reversals": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Smirnoff
In any case, here's the oddness of life in Capitalist America from a Soviet Russian perspective:
- In Capitalist America, fresh bread waits all day for YOU!
- In Capitalist America, cold frozen ice is sent to YOU!
- In Capitalist America, kidnappers are found by YOU!
- In Capitalist America, factories produce things for YOU!
- In Capitalist America, party planners take orders from YOU!
