The Republicans Are Coming: Look Square!

The Unconvention, an organization that tongue-in-cheekly encourages residents of Minneapolis to "find unconventional ways to welcome" the RNC, "or at least be Minnesota-nice" has partnered with an ad agency for a slick campaign called "The Republicans Are Coming: Make An Effort." It's like that funny bumper sticker from the '90s: "Jesus Is Coming: Look Busy!" And from this commercial, just as sincere:

I especially like how Republicans are depicted as the bad guys from The Matrix.

Yeah Lindsay, there's a huge difference between guys in suits with sunglasses and bad guys in suits with sunglasses... oh lets face it, those were the laziest bad-guy costumes ever. At least give them masks or something, Wachowski brothers. (Nixon masks?)
