Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey
Vermin Supreme is no ordinary presidential candidate. Set in the wake of the financial collapse and the Occupy Wall Street movement, WHO IS VERMIN SUPREME? AN OUTSIDER ODYSSEY follows Supreme’s grassroots campaign from the New Hampshire Primary to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, and ultimately to the heart of American Empire in Washington, D.C. As the Republican and Democratic parties spend billions of dollars on advertising and rallies, Supreme takes to the streets to spread the word about his plans to enact mandatory toothbrushing laws and provide a free pony for every American. With singer-songwriter Rob Potylo and Jimmy “The Rent Is Too Damn High” McMillan along for the ride, Supreme boldly brings comedy, music, and poetry into the trenches of American protest movements and up to the gates of the political establishment. From lighthearted songs sung for militarized police to unbelievable surrealist pranks played on overzealous political fanatics, WHO IS VERMIN SUPREME? is certain to show you America as you’ve never seen it before.
