Wassup 2008 | Revival of the Classic Ad

Eight years later, Chuck Stone III made another version of the ad with the same cast, called Wassup 2008. The 2-minute short film was heavily critical of the presidency of George W. Bush and was a clear endorsement of the presidential campaign of Barack ObamaThe 2008 video was nominated for the Favorite User Generated Video award at the 35th People's Choice Awards. - wikipedia

@@Blind_Hawk It's an old saying. It just means a lot of change is just things taking new forms but still remaining the same in many ways. For example, human civilizations have changed significantly in the past few centuries yet some things stay the same: war, poverty, social unrest, oppression, aristocracy, inequality, pandemics, etc. These things change but they also stay the same in many ways despite the change.
