The world’s cheesiest cineplex?

Blog Guy, you know the neatest thing about being President? I heard they have their own movie theater at the White House. How cool is that?
It sounds a lot better than it really is. As you can see, it’s a tiny projector and only one person can watch at a time. Here, President Obama shifts impatiently as he and Michelle take turns watching “Zombieland” this week.
Wow. Did he like the movie?
Did he! That’s why he uses the phrase “Nut up or shut-up!” constantly now. His first words when the Nobel Peace Prize folks called him.
Hold your horses, Blog Guy! I’ve seen photos of people in comfy movie theater chairs at the White House!
Yes, that’s the 3-D room, but there’s no actual projector. The Obamas are just watching staffers stick still photos from Toy Story 2 3-D in their faces.
Gosh, that’s very disappointing.
Yep. And don’t even get me started on how you can’t have popcorn there because the Secret Service doesn’t like the popping sound…

Awww…. they look so cute in those glasses…
Hey, fantastic bit of news: this one doesn’t come with the “not for publicity” warning!! I can already see all the new advert campaigns coming online based on that picture of the Obamas. From Zenith: “3D TVs that even presidents love”
I forgot to add “… while First Ladies positively hate!”
