The Change You Deserve

The York Daily Record has a great parody (see below) of the new slogan that was being considered by the Republican Party in its attempt to jump on the "Change" bandwagon until it was discovered to already be the copyrighted slogan for an anti-depressant medication. While rather biting, the parody does properly sum up the mindset of the GOP base. Here the paper's commentary:
*
News item: House Republicans, stinging from losses in previously safe seats in Louisiana and Mississippi, introduced a new campaign slogan: The Change You Deserve. The Republicans thought they would cash in on the "change" agenda that's been so successful for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Instead, they found themselves embarrassed when it turned out that "The Change You Deserve" is the copyrighted slogn for Effexor, an anti-depressant.
