No Celebrity Here? Obama Campaign Hires Britney Spears' Set Designer To Build Invesco Stage!

I had to share this one. There is a justified irony in John McCain's celebrity add that featured images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Today, The New York Post learned that the set designer of the Barackopolis at Invesco is none other than the set designer for....Britney Spears.

The stage, dubbed the Barackopolis by the GOP, was constructed under the supervision of Bobby Allen, Spear former stage-manager in charge of her last world tour. Adding to the fodder, Allen told the New York Post, “We’ve done Britney’s sets and a whole bunch of rock shows, but this was far more elaborate and complicated and we had to do it in far less time,” Allen said. “The biggest challenge has been making sure we don’t damage the playing field underneath.”

The Pun being slung by the RNC over the Greek-Tragedy has reached new proportions today as newspapers from London to Germany have printed stories about the strange resemblence to monuments dedicated to Greek and Roman Gods. The RNC has been sure to play up the event, as RNC Spokesman Danny Diaz told the Post, "It’s only appropriate that Barack Obama would descend down from the heavens and spend a little time with us mere mortals when accepting the Democratic nomination,” RNC spokesman Danny Diaz told the Post.
