Ah JibJab Sucks!

[StClone]

Oh yippee!

The dumb asses at JibJab have cobbled together another piece of shit "Political humorous video." They are not the Onion for Chris sakes. It's a chicken shit operation that takes "equal" shots at Obama/Dems and McCain/Cons/Reps.

Hey you turkeys at JibJab equal does not mean fair! The f'n Cons/Reps are a criminal enterprise and Dems maybe spineless and timid but equal time humor is a way of saying oh yeah they are equally bad. That is so inaccurate and wrong!

1. You said it. nt

[aspergris]

2. it's good political satire

there's already another post on this, but fwiw I find it refreshing that they can and do skewer both sides.

3. JibJab is fucking shit

They posted their first clip 2 feet from landing their shark jump

[Mojambo]

4. What the hell is JibJab? n/t

[JI7]

5. their video favors the Republican candidates

[pnwmom]

11. How so? My opinion is the opposite. n/t

[intheflow]

22. I didn't see it that way at all.

I can't access it here ta work, but as I recall, McCain's in depends and Obama is singing a happy, hopeful song. There's a difference, imo, between humor and partisanship. I think the Jib-Jab piece is a non-partisan, equal opportunity jab at all the candidates--fair game in an election season.

6. Oh comeon. Lighten up! We NEED a little more humnor in this

campaign! JibJab does better with satire than almost anybody!

[tkmorris]

7. They are closely related to South Park

Humorwise anyway. Nihilist comedy. It all sucks and it's all stupid so let's just mock everyone. I hate people like that, they think nothing matters.

8. JUST ANOTHER CORPORATE TRY AT CHOOSING PRESIDENT

[pnwmom]

12. How does poking fun at all sides accomplish that?

[tularetom]

9. JibJab's 2008 Presidential Campaign video sucks

JibJab itself does not necessarily suck. They've done some good work in the past like the Big Box Mart thingy.

[pnwmom]

10. It was funny. And it does not portray both sides as equally bad --

but all sides do need to have a sense of humor.

[Mz Pip]

13. I thought it was funny.

Pretty decent satire IMHO. McCain came across much much worse than Obama.

[AlCzervik]

14. not a fan at all of that style, it's wholly unfunny and looks thrown together.

make a real effort or just go home.

[Better Believe It]

15. I Thought It Was Very Funny!

16. Look at what one of our own members distributes:

I defend his right to say it, but it seems to me that one has to choose sides on occasion. Expressing an opposing view is fine...I even encourage it. In the current climate, openly publishing this shit hurts us.

18. I just put a can of Raid on my

shopping list LOL

[MercutioATC]

19. I love/hate that sigline.

It calls to my obnoxious nature...but it annoys me, too.

[emilyg]

20. Not annoying me.

Just funning with you.

17. pretty much comedy "truth to power"...

"citizens gather from both far and near,
for a ritual we practice every four years,
when we promise you anything you want to hear,
to win the crown we're chasin'!

we spend billions of dollars to make our points clear,
to get you to step up and cast your votes here,
then we spin you around and poke you in the rear.

yes its time for some campaignin'..."



the op says "That is so inaccurate and wrong!" remember 2006? nancy as speaker, majorities in the state governorships and in both the senate and the house? when they "promised us anything we wanted to hear"?


scroll up and reread that satire. it pretty much nails it.

so don't be pissed at jibjab, or ko or anyone showing this. be pissed at who you should be pissed at. nancy and our current tribe. they are failing us.

don't kill the messenger...

21. Not funny to make a puppet show with no story.

"Hey! Politics is wacky! What's THAT about?"

:eyes:

[Krashkopf]

23. Thank you.

I thought I was the only one who thought Jib Jab favored Republicans. This cartoon is no better.

With very funny sights like "Headz Up" and "Red State Update" there is no reason to tune into the Jib/Jab/GOP.

They do SUCK!
