Ring in the Old

NBC decided the proper way to ring in the new year was with a tribute to globalism by replaying Beyonce's "World Humanitarian Day" video shortly after midnight.


Soviet propaganda poster designers had nothing on these people. The priestess stands before the altar, and the cosmic imagery-saturated video shows rapturous audience members writhing in worshipful ecstasy as surely as if they were handling snakes, while their gods dispense salvation against calamity.

We've seen such celebrity-driven worship services before.

Beyonce, of course, is one of those demanding a plan.

Along with other "humanitarians."

David, are you sure this isn't an out-take from Hunger Games?
Seriously, just the photo alone in your post gives me the willies.

Never saw The Hunger Games--it's a screenshot from the linked video.
