A new video piece from Victor Morales based on American comedy troupe Firesign Theater song, "What makes America Great?". Morales calls this particular machinima "a puppetization of reality". written and performed by  Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman and Philip Proctor, "What makes America Great?" provides valuable insights not only into America's exceptionalism, but also about race, racism, and history , e.g. "Abraham Lincoln did not die in vain. He died in Washington D.C. "What makes America Great?" goes like this:It's candied apples and ponies with dapples
you can ride all day!
It's girls with pimples
And cripples with dimples
that just wont go away !
Its spics and wops and niggers and kikes
with noses as long as your arm!
Its micks and chinks and gooks and geeks
and honkies
(Honk! Honk!)
who never left the farm !LINK:Victor MoralesGeeky Post scriptum: In 1996, Firesign Theater member Peter Bergman wrote the computer game Pyst, a parody of Myst featuring John Goodman.
