And it has nothing to do with politics -- at least not the war-and-presidency kind:
Miss Platnum is a Romanian singer, and as those of us of Eastern European ancestry can attest, zaftigivity is in our genes. Now, you may be appalled the first time you watch this video. But watch it again, and you'll see two things: First, you'll notice just how awesome this singer looks in that sleeveless purple dress. Then you'll realize how this video puts the concepts of "female" and "appetites" right in your face. And then you understand just how threatening these two concepts are in our culture when taken in tandem.

UPDATE: The third time you watch it, you'll notice all the =ahem= SAUSAGES hanging from that tree as she says "I am Romanian....I love to eat...it's in my genes...I can't control." That sequence says it all.
