And the internet gifts us with a metaphor for pretty much everything that has happened in America since about January of 2009.

UPDATE (from Jeff): America is Number One? Uhh…no…number *ten*, these days.
At first, I couldn’t watch. Then I had to watch twice.
Starting at 1:15 is priceless. Megaphone Guy advises Dumb Red Crew to back up. They sit and do nothing for awhile, then row *forward* to wreck yet another shell.
That’s quite a substantial number of morons, in the boats, complete with blank looks before, during & after each collision.
It doesn’t appear they know how to navigate, to say the least.
I would say that it’s all a study in inaction, with several examples of just mentally checking out, for quite a while.
I watched it twice, also.
Where were the race officials?
Most regattas they’d have been lassoed and forcibly-towed of f the course — then banned. Though personally I’d have used harpoons…
And I love the oblivious Red Snowflake doing a “Hi Mom”-wave in the midst of the carnage.
I just see it as a metaphor for pretty much any Obama policy; a bunch of smug, clueless people oblivious to their own incompetence creating havoc and completely ignoring the people shouting at them whose advice could have evaded the disaster.
I stopped at 1:19. The “Snowflake” element is too painful.
V the K, this was the funniest, most cringe-worthy video I’ve seen in awhile. Brilliant metaphor!
Sure laugh it up but I lost all the guns that Soros wants the govt to be confiscating in an boating accident like this.
But these are liberals. All that counts is that you try, and even if you fail, you get a prize or award.
Too funny.
Bet they all got a trophy at the end because anymore everybody gets a trophy even if you screw up the whole race with incompetence.
