I don't know how old or recent this is as it has just entered my radar.
I think the timecode on the video says 1997.
Nonetheless, it's a pretty funny video.
Context: Rev. Moon of South Korea, founder of the Moonie church, also owns a conservative-oriented newspaper, the Washington Times. The Washington Times is a favorite among the GOP because of its (often inaccurate or slanted) reporting and editorials.
This video emerges from a dinner celebrating the Washington Times. Noted GOP politicians (or scumbags, depending on your POV) such as Orrin Hatch and George Bush I showed up to pay tribute (or kiss butt) to the newspaper and its owner.
I'm not going to talk about the Rev's accent or overall speech ability. I think the video says enough for itself.

I believe this is actually true. I've heard Satan gets more a$$ than a toilet seat. |

| I remember a few years ago this guy was coronated as king of the universe, and there were several US politicians in attendance to support him. |

He seems to have something else up his sleeve now.
Yesterday, all the apartments in our complex got a newspaper entitled "Blessedness and True Family" in both languages.
It bore the signature of The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.
There is a picture of a happy, smiling family on the front and a few more such pictures inside.
There are also pictures from mass rallies being held all over the world, and pictures of government leaders.
Nowhere in the newspaper is there any mention of Rev. Moon. |

| Yeah, I'm tempted to ask my co-workers about Rev. Moon and what they know about him. I am concerned that I might be stepping on a "3rd-rail" or cultural land-mine. |

Is it just me, or does he look like some Ajoshi farmer who just happen to make it big developing his own outlandish cult?
He looks like one of those guys that would hang off the edge of one of those bongo trucks with the pesticide spewing from it, smilingly waving at everyone as he passes by.. |
