PHOTOS: The Week's Worst And Wildest Weather
Tommy Christopher is Asylum's White House correspondent.Last week, I wrote about the striking similarities between ABC's remake of "V" and a Glenn Beck fever dream. Since the show drew huge numbers for the pilot episode, and in an effort to once again represent for sci-fi geeks everywhere, I asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs for the White House's reaction to the show.
While I wasn't that surprised that he hadn't seen the show (a situation that will be remedied today), it is somewhat curious that the White House is unaware of the controversy surrounding the show.
Here's Gibbs' amused reaction:
Check out the full pilot of "V" on SlashControl.

Nice questioning, I'm not all surprised he hasn't seen it, much less even heard of the buzz going on around the show. I didn't even pick up on it until you guys posted the article about it. Watching the first two episodes, I can see what people are talking about, but I don't really mind the secret message it might hold.

ABC better watch themselves or the whitehouse will add them to the "enemies list" like they did fox when they stepped out of line.

Thehow is based on the lizard men conspiracy that started years before the Obama administration. As a geek, ans a lover of conspiracies, I must say that so far the show is awesome sauce.

Saying that "V" is an attack on the Obama administration is completely fabricated. It was pretty jarring when they tried to interject current events with their "You're talking about Universal Health Care" line, but they said nothing for or against it.

surprised anyone...they too have no idea of what is going on in this country, and they dont care....the teapartys were not formed by the gop or any insurance companys...they didn believe that either...but i am guessing that when the next election comes up and 25% of the demos lose their job...they will become believers.....some of the gop can go too.....there are many from other parties that have the savy to not only run for office but to run the office they are elected to....look past the silver tongued retoric and slick faces....pick the one who are willing to not only say "change" but will tell exactly what their change will be....

I don't agree with you, that the Obama marxist aliens don't know about the show, or that they believe the gop organized the Tea Parties. THEY KNOW THE TEA PARTY IS A GRASS ROOTS COMING TOGETHER AND THEY BLOW IT OFF WITH MORE OF THEIR LIES. A Marxist can play virgin, but we can see right through all of their smoke screens. Let's face it, we have a Muslim president who hasn't the stomach for sending infidels to kill Muslim terrorist. check out abc's Stepenopolos (sp?) interview with the con artist spoiled child Obama. Listen to his every word and note his confession, "my muslim faith" and realize that was no slip, it was a subconscious acknowledgement, because it came of his mouth without much thought, because of his thinking was what the next lie would be. Our boys and girls are sitting ducks and the coward Obama, with a stomach for Allah is hoping this will all go away so he can have his way.

Well, there is always perspective e.g., in this case two ways of looking at something. So, if the Obama obsessed (e.g., he's an infiltrator and the cause of the failure of America) then those who are not obsessed with Obama (e.g., as'the'cause of the failure of America)can view it as 'those obsessed with Obama' as the actual infiltrators and desire 'the failure of America.
And, yes, it's no wonder America is IN TROUBLE with TV SHOWS being an alleged 'parallel'of condition and thought.

THE SHOW'S MEANING TO THOSE correlating it to OBAMA is ACTUALLY A PROJECTION OF THEMSELVES. Some of the American public are CLINICAL! And, the internet brings THEM ALL to LIGHT otherwise who the frak would even SEE THEIR nonsense never mind HEAR IT!
Case in point - the spewer above! It's a remake of an 80's TV show; go find Reagan!

LOL! Yeah, get a life - your own preferably. A farce. A made-up controversy by AOl et al to generate buzz and hits. Obviously lowest common denominator. Sad commentary on our country and media today.

Jim, I can't believe that you still are so misinformed to repeat this same crap! Grow up buddy! To repeat... he is not a Muslim, he is a Christian (unlike the likes of you) and he is an American. For you to insist on saying the same things shows you haven't grown even a little from any knowledge you could have gained in the last couple of years.
