Fund the power
Spike Lee's 1989 film, "Do the Right Thing," was satirized in a sketch on the 80s show, In Living Color.
In that sketch, an entrepreneur was shown exploiting icons for commercial gain. One purported product was a "Malcolm Ex-Lax Dispenser."
Filmmaker Lee popped up before reporters at the time, decrying light use of touchstones.
Times, and Lee, have changed.
According to recent news accounts, a new Bernie Sanders radio commercial features Lee promising that, "When Bernie gets to the White House, he will Do the Right Thing!"
This time, the revolution will be monetized.
