Right-Wing Nut Job vs. Liberal Wiener
David Carr (London)  Humour

This is the best animation I have come across in a good while.

It it appears to be a genuinely non-partisan poke at the Bush vs. Kerry contest and although it may take a few minutes to download it is slickly produced and very funny, even for an Englishman.

I'm up late ensuring the damn washing machine doesn't spill water all over the kitchen again.

This completely brightened up my morning. Great stuff :)

Genius!

Very cleverly done.

Seems like Brits like Christopher Hitchens, Andrew Sullivan, Allistair Cooke, Margaret Thatcher - and now these folk -have/had greater insight into the American persona than most yanks do!

...even funny for an Englishman! Now that's high praise!

The JibJab brothers are being interviewed on Leno's Tonight Show, as I type...

So what are they saying about the JibJab brothers?

Leave it to Brits to take credit for something they had nothing to do with. Btw, the jib jab brothers, who happen to have a Greek sir name, are from New Jersey. And yes, I realize the English also invented the internet.

Onnatop, you are a dickhead... Carr is an Englishman and he found it funny, there was no claim that an Englishman created the damn comedy thing. He is saying that even though it is about US politics, it is funny even for an Englishman (himself).

And as it happens, an Englishman did invent the world wide web. I take it English is not your first (or even second) language. Putz.

snide, you're a ninny. That sentence with "for" implies that the Englishmen was the perpetrator of funniness. WHich we know could never be the case. Had he said "to", well then you're heroic rescue mightn't have been superfluous. See also jk's comment ya jackass.

Bwt, agreed the www is great. Without it, people with your preponderance of wisdom would have less reach. However, doesn't really imply network of networks does it?
