Now that I'm awake during the light of day and re-examining this particular story, it's actually starting to look like a genuine case of rather antimustachian abuse of our overpaid government officials times for the purpose of advertising H&R Blockhead's tax services through a viral marketing campaign under the guise of political satire.
Clever political satire of how ridiculous, over the top and easily swayed our representatives are to literally offer up the most worthless of bought-off pet legislation to be reviewed and/or voted on is one thing, so is a clever viral marketing ad (it may not make me want to
buy the product, but I appreciate the creativity, invisible effort and psychological science that went into some of them)... but when you
actually waste Capitol Hill's time for a publicity stunt just to sell your low quality accounting services? It's raising the blood pressure just a bit.
