Great video---The Emperor Strikes Out!
I found this on Bushflash the other day. Check out this new video by The Mockers, THE EMPEROR STRIKES OUT. It's really hilarious, and the song is actually pretty cool too. It's hard to describe, but imagine if They Might Be Giants did a political song! Here's their site:

By the way, I had problems with the video until I realized I needed this codec:

I laughed my ass off. And the quote at the end is great.

2. Even more than the movie (I'm getting sorta jaded these days),
I really appreciated the link to that FFDShow program. It loaded without a hitch (I didn't have to uninstall anything), and all the videos I had saved loaded, started playing right off. To my recollection, some even looked better than before.

I know very little about digital video, but I'm going to start studying from here on. All this stuff looks COOL.

3. Emperor Strikes Out video
Yeah, I know, everyone seems to be doing things like this these days.
But I actually thought this one was a cut above--funny, smartass lyrics, catch melody, and the video was really clever. I read on The Mockers' website that they released this video a few months ago, long before Fahrenheit 9/11 (they have a few of the same jokes). Either way, glad to help with that codec--you're right, it's MUCH better than what I was using before.
