the hunger games katnissLana Del Rey’s well known song Video Games was ripe for the picking when Holly Laurent from The Second City and Martin Wilson from Mister Important Words decided to parody the music video by turning it into a tibute for The Hunger Games! The video has already had 35 000 views on YouTube since it was posted yesterday and no doubt that will rise steadily! It’s a great little parody from a great song so have a little watch below and enjoy!

It’ll be with us here in the UK March 23rd.

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
