Countdown just played "This Land" cartoon spoof!!!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

Laughed my ass off again! OK, I am convinced Keith and the gang at Countdown check us out here at DU!

Hi, Keith!

[CatWoman]

1. LOL

That was great!!!!

www.jibjab.com

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

2. Did you catch it on TV again, too?

[CatWoman]

4. yeah -- that's where I got the web address

:D

[H2O Man]

3. it was hilarious!

I really enjoyed it.

[buycitgo]

7. is it me?

I didn't think it was very funny at all: WAY too heavy handed

and he kept making fun of Kerry's medals, without even mentioning AWOL

lazily, uncreatively played to the obvious stereotypes, which I thought were more negative towards Kerry than Bush

didn't laugh once

way too overdone, IMO

[buycitgo]

8. just like watching leno/letterman every night, only this was

a different medium

what set this apart from what you hear all the time?

did nothing for me

[Generator]

24. I agree with you

I first saw a clip on Fox news, Dayside, so I hate to break it to whomever, but it wasn't breaking from DU that got them to run it.

I think it's much more negative to Kerry. I did not like how they hammered the three purple hearts either without mention MR. Bunnypants great non-service record.

Also, showing Kerry in as a "slave" in that outfit was FAR more demeaning than how they protrayed *. I don't think the RNC would mind how it showed him at all!

[Individualist]

30. Not just you

Not only no mention of AWOl, no mention of all Shrub's lies nor his incoherence in speaking, etc. I saw it as definitely slanted against Kerry.

[Wonk]

5. NBC nightly news played it too

They mentioned (iirc) that it had been viewed online something like 6 million times and the jibjab folks had to migrate to a better server just to keep up with increased bandwidth demands for that one flash.

[CatWoman]

6. yeah -- I went there and they said their server crashed

and I can't get into the alternate address, either.

[Kahuna]

9. Did they play the whole thing? I'd like to tape it when it reruns later.

:D

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

10. Played it all the way up to Howard Dean's "yarggggggggghhhhhh"

[Kahuna]

11. Aw, phooey!

nt

[VolcanoJen]

12. CNN's Inside Politics showed it too, so I finally decided to watch it...

... it is freaking hilarious!

I nearly split a gut when Hillary slapped Bill. :D

Excellent, excellent stuff, and kinda-sorta-bipartisan, too. :D

[TrustingDog]

13. just saw a clip on CNN, Paula Cunt....

and of course George had the best lines....
no Kerry for the intro.

if anyones watching let us know if Kerry will have his shots in... I won't be tuned in.

[Kahuna]

14. It's coming up on Zahn.... Got my recorder ready...

:7

[VolcanoJen]

15. I wonder how much they'll show...?

There are parts that aren't, uhhh, family-friendly. :-)

[VolcanoJen]

16. What??? CNN skipped an opportunity to show the Dean Scream?

Unbelievable! :D

[Kahuna]

19. Dammit! They did edit the Dean scream..

:wtf:

[Kahuna]

17. They showed the whole thing!!! I recorded it on my DVR... I'll be..

burning a DVD later. :7 They might show it on Dave or Leno later tonight.

[VolcanoJen]

18. They showed a lot of it, but not the whole thing.

They left out the "You're a UN pussy" line, as well as the Dean Scream. They also left out the part where Kerry says "You can't say nuclear, that really scares me!"

At any rate, they at least showed some of the Kerry parts!

[Kahuna]

20. Arghhhh! I forgot about the parts that won't pass the censors..

:grr:

[Mr_Spock]

28. We liked it so much at work, we bought it. I got it on a memory stick

now. It's almost 10 Meg - plays full screen nicely though.

[kodi]

21. oh, mr olbermann, your cell is ready at gitmo.

why does keith hate america?

countdown is the best news show on tv. keith and his minions must most certainly be lurking around here. there are too many times when i watch the show that he discusses things only seen around here and other leftie blogs.

keith and jon stewert have kept me sane in an insane world these last 12 months.

but he ought to deep six lisa meyers. a more whorish media whore would be hard to find.

[DemBones DemBones]

22. OK, kids, we crashed the first server, then we

killed jibjab,com and now it looks like atom films has crashed, too.

[Reciprocity]

23. We're Sorry

Because of the overwhelming popularity of the hit political spoof
"This Land" (and our hundreds of other quality short films) we are experiencing network slowdowns.

We appreciate your stopping by, so please try back again later.

Sincerely,

AtomFilms

[Reciprocity]

25. I'm in!!!!
