Anyone catch the Obama!Clark?

[wattowatta]

In the scene in which the public is congratulating and marking-out over Clark (if memory serves), there is a poster of Clark Kent's head and shoulders in the red/blue style of that Obama picture. I don't have a screencap, nor do I have the ability to get one, but I know it's there.

Political commentary from PS3? Has there been, to the best of our collective memories, any other political references over the course of the show?

Your thoughts? Endearing? A little too cute? Not appropriate in a superhero show?

[6-Super-Man -5]

I saw that. :cool:

[Alicia Chipy]

TV shows should be bi-partisan,non denominational, and PC correct.

[Jor'el_Ted]

I saw that but i didn't really think about it too much.

[thehenry89]

Yeah I caught it, it was kinda funny :)

[AndiGirl]

I did see it!!! I had a good chuckle.... :lol:

[antx]

Yeah that was so sweet.I remember thinking what the heck seeing that there was a ton of people crowding his house already.But when I saw that it just totally magnified the scene for me.That poster is so famous and most everyone knows it,so it's pretty cool they included that with Clark.

[Watching Smallville]

I didn't see it. Thanks for the heads up. Interesting analogy.

[you_smell_terrific]

HA! I knew I saw that!! I yelled 'LOL OBAMA CLARK!' and my parents looked at me like I was retarded so I didn't say anything after that lmao.

[Karafan1]

I noticed those posters right away..

[Crouching Lurker]

I saw it, I thought it was humorous. :D

[Harrison_Bergeron]

Someone should get shirts made, I'd buy one.

[LovelyLoisLane]

I'm glad someone else noticed that as well, I was going to say something but I didn't want to get objects thrown at me.

Those huge posters of Clark in a water-color style were totally like those popular grafitti posters of Obama with 'Hope' on it. LOL, during the campaign there were manips everywhere of Obama in a Superman suit, so I guess it works.

I'd say that was fine to do that, the man is our (American's) president now, so it isn't like making a campaign-favorite statement. The campaign has long since been over. So it is just a harmless bit of fun.

[krpto]

I saw it as ps3 or someone in the prop department making fun of people comparing obama to superman by having a poster of clark in the obama style.

[Cyclonekat]

Lol, yeah, I did catch that, so hilarious! I was going to point it out to my friend, but didn't want to miss something, so I just kept quiet!

[devilneedsaride]

I saw it and thought it looked familiar, but I didn't quite connect the dots until I read this.

Hmm, I don't quite know what I think of that.

[Lexsghost]

Anyone else think that was awesome. I laughed when they had it coming across the screen. Can anyone post a screen shot of it?

[Showmaster]

Believe!:rotfl:

Thanks for the pic. Yep I saw that!

[Tompouce]

LOOOL. Thanks for the pic. I didn't notice it but yes ! you are right. Well, I am not concerned directly being French but I think it was for fun. Really. And well, it doesn't shock me. We are not there to speak about Obama and politic but this is a fact when he won, the world reacted like he could be Superman. You know, the man who can save the world...

Actually, It may not necessarily be intended to be a knock-off of Obama's picture.

It is most likely a knock-off of Andy Warhol's style of painting. Google images of Andy Warhol's painting and you will see what I mean. He is very famous for that style. One of his most widely recognized is that of Marilyn Monroe.

You were considered to be very famous if Andy Warhol did a painting of you in that style. He's dead now but people still copycat him.

[Dustmite]

I saw it and loved it :)

Red and Blue were Superman's colours first after all.

[Indira Kal]

oh geez, MUST you point that out?

[Harrison_Bergeron]

It was intended to look like Shepard Fairey's Obama "Hope" poster, just like the TDK shirt with the Joker. Someone make a Clark "Believe" shirt!

I am still learning how to post correctly. But I saw a t-shirt with Obama on it opening his shirt Clark Kent to Superman style. If you do a search for Obama Superman and Alex Ross (the artist I believe) you will see the image I am talking about.

Kind of a reversal. =)

[marcella]

I saw it:lol:

[PepsiMax]

:lol: That was funny and so were those girls that kept snapping pictures of Clark on their mobile phones...is that really how you take a photo?? :rotfl:

Do people really not do that in Australia? It was 100% realistic for the U.S.

[Skaterpen357]

Heh, I saw that, and loved it.

Do I mind the fact they did that? Not in the slightest. Not just because I like Obama, but mainly because I just think it's really cool when they present Clark as a real twenty-first century man, and not simply the same ol' Superman airing in 2009. There are tons of knock-offs of the Obama poster (my favorite is Luke Skywalker with "HOPE" still written under it :p), so I think upon Clark's discovery it was only natural for a 2009-living admirer of the RBB to make a similar knock-off for Clark. The idea behind that was refreshing. :)

[luvinChlark]

oh geez, MUST you point that out?

:lol: I know really. I cringed when I saw them.

[zorasuperman]

hahaa i thought it looked familiar but I was like where have I seen that its soooo familiar; im such an idiot lol

[Lexsghost]

:lol: I know really. I cringed when I saw them.

I dont really care about politics so I thought the clark believe poster was funny.

[Skaterpen357]

Something just occurred to me today--could "BELIEVE" be a reference to the tagline from the Superman movie?

(You'll believe a man can fly!)

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

:lol: I did! But, why Obama? We know who the producers are for...:lol:
