Pimped Red Capes and the Effect they have on modern world leaders: A Study

A noted factor in the downfall of a growing number of World Leaders is the 'Pimped Red Cape'. More and more we see the detrimental effect it has on those who deem themselves powerful and confident enough to wear one. I will now use photographic evidence to prove that the appearance of a red cape in one's wardrobe indicates a severe fall from grace in the near future. See images below.



Hitler: Began to believe his own press. Absolute power was not as easy to maintain as he had previously thought. Most historians maintain that his downfall started at the exact moment he put on the red cape.



Mao: This guy probably actually had a red cape.



Saddam: Saddam was just minding his own business, living in a palace where he and his sons tortured and murdered and pillaged and did whatever THE FUCK they wanted. All was groovy until one day he decides to don a cape to show off just how crocodile shit cool he was. Guess what? BAM! Four hours later he's face down in a dingey desert hole with a haggerd shitty beard and the American Army using him as a punch/arrest bag.



Bush: He just seemed to outgrow those britches his daddy left him. When they got too snug he splashed out a new piece of attire, that's right, a bloodred cape. Thirteen minutes later a full presidential election takes place and he's out on his ass. Harsh.



Tetsuo: One minute you're some psychokinetic human nuclear bomb strutting round turning people to bloody mush by just blinking, next thing you get a red cape and you're hand mutates into a verucose vein monster baby with mouths all over it, and then I think you turn into the beginning of a new universe. Or maybe not. The film confused me.



Kim Jong Il: Has only recently gotten his red cape. What does the world hold for Kim? Who the fuck cares, look at the state of his family. They all have the same face.



Brian Cowen: Brian aquired his red cape when he took over from Bertie Ahern as the leader of Ireland. Since then? Recession, biblical floods, strikes. What the hell will happen next? Godzilla? Zombie Outbreak? Zombie Godzilla Outbreak? Maybe he'll just keep his job. Then we're fucked.



Obama: I hear he's checking them out. I'll keep you posted.
