Has-been B-movie fixture and Total Gym spokesperson Chuck Norris (and the missus) have hit the web once more with a bizzare video message urging Evangelical Christians to turn out on election day and stop Barack Obama (whose name Mrs. Norris intones in the manner of a dismayed peasant maiden lamenting a long-problematic dragon in a fantasy novel) from being re-elected. If their efforts fail, we are informed, America faces "A Thousand Years of Darkness."
So, hey - good job, willing patrons of "The Expendables 2," in kicking a few more coins toward delightful folks such as these...
The nudge-nudge coding at play for the prime audience is surprisingly overt: Evangelicals are the target here because it's believed that widespread distrust of Mitt Romney's Mormon faith within fundamentalist Christianity could keep them home on election day - the "Thousand Years" bit is a reference to certain fundamentalist interpretations of "Revelations" ...in other words, they're wink-winking about Obama being The Antichrist.
Charming.
