This is an example of détournement publicitaire (advertising hijack) - where the cut-up producer has repurposed an existing television commercial to communicate an alternative message to that originally intended.
Creator: Edo Wilkins (2002). Bush's State of the Union (critically re-cut).
This is a political remix video (PRV) created by Edo Wilkins that inter-cuts shots of George W. Bush delivering his 2002 State of the Union address with reactions from prominent Congress members in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Importantly the clip intentionally presents Bush's statements out of context so that he appears to be advocating a number of politically unsound and overtly undemocratic ideas. His audience are also made to appear complicit through their applause and multiple standing ovations. (Perkins. S, 2017)
