Hi Dan, Thank you for the clarification. I have contacted Warner Brothers to figure out what their sense of parody is.
A part of the submission is a suggestion to use "The Dot and the Line" as a marketing vehicle for android to show difference between a rigid traditional cellphone and the new compelling flexibility of an android phone. AND that the two lines and a dot form a differential sensor. (think bug antennae) A differential sensor is key to choosing which direction to go... or finding anyone anywhere. There was a bunch of stuff cut from the skit that showed that the olives only became animated after they received differential sensors from the android. A whole segment on chocolate chip cookie smell gradient detection. Anyway, in the interest of parody, the final footnote to infinity [7] on the presentation, where you can't exactly find the attribution, well,... that's an Obama quote. I do not know it's original source, no plagerism intended!!! I thought the phrasing and word choice would make this obvious Obama...
