in memeified videos to win support for Iran war

The White House says its war meme strategy has viewers focused on the military’s successes. Others see a “disturbing” development.

The White House’s video Friday began with a brief clip from the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It quickly transitioned to footage of the U.S. military bombing an Iranian vehicle.
“Wasted” soon appeared on the screen, the same image that flashes across the game when a player dies.

“L1, R1, SQUARE, R1, LEFT, R2, R1, LEFT, SQUARE, DOWN, L1, L1,” Steven Cheung, the White House’s communications director, tweeted as he posted the Grand Theft Auto cheat code to unlock unlimited ammunition for the user-controlled player.

There were more in recent days: A video titled “STRIKE,” featuring clips of bowling and bombings, another connecting baseball bombs with the real variety, and a post juxtaposing military strikes to Nintendo Wii gaming.
