    First thing that comes to mind is that Bendis is parodying Scientology with this.

    Shh. You wanna get sued in England. (Actually, crap, the video starts out just like those anonymous videos.)

    Also, yeah, why do I get the feeling that Obama is a Skrull? Change. Together we can. Sounds like Skrull propaganda to me!

    It's kicking off quite a bit later than you would really expect, but I have to say, the latest round of advertising from Marvel has impressed me.

    how you can tell if the world is sick of Skrulls?

    Why exactly would he get sued in England?

    Seriously, I know that it's illegal to practice Scientology in certain European countries, like Austria and Germany (Where it is covered by the same laws which keep Nazism at bay), but not over here.

    If only! It's not illegal in Germany, they're just under surveillance from their office for the protection of the constitution. But Scientologists manage to trick the US government into thinking they were persecutred for their religious beliefs there. One German citizen got granted asylum based on letters from businessmen that said "we can't employ you because you're a scientologist" but it turned out that those businessmen were scientologists and it had been orchestrated by the Scientologists own secret service to put the German government under pressure.
    But the promise to rid the world of poverty, war, crime, the type of ads (happy people, children), is typical of Scientology ads.

    Absolutely. It's very worrying iconography at work.

    I don't think it sells the product very well.

    I would have to think 99% of the people watching it scratched their heads and wondered WTF?

    Only one explanation that can make all things logical!

    Obama read Secret Invasion and it's tie-ins.
