If you were on the UCLA campus Monday, you might have seen “The Dictator” interactive bus stop by. What does any of this mean? Well, “The Dictator” is going on a bus tour to many of the U.S.’s major college campuses!

On the bus, you can enjoy an interactive Wadiyan experience as well as make your own personal political statement:

It’s an election year, but that has zero effect on General Aladeen as he is the Dictator and doesn’t need your votes! “Don’t vote for me, I am already The Dictator”. In the vein of the Presidental election campaign buses, THE DICTATOR is doing it his way…the “don’t vote for me tour” on the road to spread election centric propaganda about the ways of Wadiyan culture. The bus tour will also education people about Aladeen’s rise to power as well as his stance on key issues such as the woman’s place in this man’s world, how to appropriately honor The Dictator, and why the West needs his guidance.

The bus will offer some of the finest amenities Wadiya has to offer, such as camel toe pate (yep), his Virgin Guards, who will be available for photos, Wadiyan propaganda, as well as a petition to support General Aladeen. You can also play the new “Dictator” iPad app on General Aladeen’s own iPads, as well as take photo in front of a green screen, which will allow you to be front and center on your own Wadiyan postcard (example seen below the post). You can also see the newest trailer from the film as well as buy your tickets for the film.
