I suspect that the Jib-Jabberers didn't want to make it too biting of a satire because of the climate of fear these days. Most in the media are treading lightly because of the immediate recriminations against anyone poking fun at or criticizing The Savior and His Ordained Policies. They watered it down almost to the point of defeating the purpose of satire. Bottom line: Far from Jib-Jab's best, but its over-the-top-ness was worth a chuckle.
The ears are great. I also loved the hippies saluting the Ear signal and the guy surfing the Porkulus.
Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner!!!
It seems to be lost on some of the people here, too. I think it's quite clearly a "jab" at the Obama hype that we've endured for nearly a year now.
IMO, it's mildly-humorous and very well done. I didn't expect a scathing hit piece filled with Cheney-esque gravitas.
Oh, man! That is too funny!
Oooh, pirates! And dig the car-load of corn and nuts!! Pretty slick animation, to boot.
I detect the same attitude in this as Kirk had in ‘The Wrath of Khan” as he ultimately lured Khan to his doom in the Motari (sp?) Nebula:
Kirk: “Khan, I’m laughing at the superior intelect.”
Yup, made ME laugh!
I’ve come to embrace irony as my friend:
intelect = intellect
Sheesh!
Think I’ll post this on Facebook and see what reaction I get from my liberal friends. I’ll bet that’s worth a laugh!
Should be an interesting test...
I liked they way they showed him drowning the country in cash and made references to him not caring about the debt...
