Indecision 2004

Should be crashing soon, but Dad sent me a link to a cartoon parody of "This Land" that cracked me up. It's nice to see something election-related that makes fun of both sides...

This Land

You have to go to the AtomFilms link provided on the site because the popularity ate up JibJab's bandwidth.

I'm going to go watch it again. :)

Edit: If AtomFilms chokes, you can get to it directly here. Check it out before they realize I direct linked and move it. ;)

My work browser's response: "This category 'tasteless' is filtered." What? Okay, I can understand bocking smut at work, and games, but tastelessness? How on Earth could tastelessness possibly impede my ability to work? (Based on some of the decorations at some of these cubicles, it certainly doesn't impede other people's abilities to work...)

Guess I'll check this one out at home.

Tasteless?

Tasteless?

*blinkblinkblink*

Compared to almost everything else I've read mocking the elections, this one's actually pretty tame save for the use of "dumbass," a Botox comment and the inevitable Clinton joke (which was actually funny). But that's really about it.

I suppose nowadays companies consider anything making fun of anything political to be "tasteless." *rolls eyes* Or AtomFilms in its entirety could be blocked.

Hey, a few months back the work filters here blocked ANYTHING from Tripod - including a G-rated comic strip, an HTML resource - as being "pornographic and inappropriate." Go figure.

I think my company has decided to err on the side of caution, from the sounds of it. We had a really bad problem with people checking out porn on their work computers and during their work hours, from what IT Bud tells me.

I mean, when you find someone whose e-mail quota is filled solely because she's gotten too many messages from the "Nubian Brother of the Day" e-mail list, you know you have a porn problem. Because from everything I could tell from what he told me, it really wasn't pictures of clothed Nubian brothers that she was getting...

This is really quite good. Thoroughly enjoyed how both sides are teased here. And when Clinton interjected in the end and was told to shut up, I really laughed.

This was a big hit on our local C-Fax radio station this morning too.

"To the New York Isle--" *slap* "What'd I do?"

Hee! I think everyone who's seen this - no matter what their opinion of the election - laughed their head off at that part.
