Worth a look: hilarious animation spoofs Bush vs. Kerry

Check out this cute animation spoofing the trivial discourse in Presidential elections, sung to the tune of "This Land Is Your Land." Skewers both sides equally. Highly recommended. Turn up your audio. Watch it again and look at the backgrounds. This is the official link:

This link also works, slightly different packaging allows resizing for full screen viewing:

It's also fun to see who they include in the cast of supporting characters.  They flash by too fast in the animation to see everyone, so I grabbed a screen shot.  Who can you pick out on each candidate's side?  Check out Hillary's wardrobe choice and Nancy Pelosi's complexion.  Click on the image below to see the final scene full size:



See news coverage about Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, the brothers who made the animation:
