BO-ring. Predictable moon-june-spoon rhymes over a relentlessly annoying clichéd music track. What, couldn’t get the rights to “Camptown Races”?

JibJab, the online video site which came to fame during the 2004 U.S. presidential election with videos like The Land, has created a new video series called the The News and has decided to include some bloggers. Blogger and friend…

Moderately amusing. But… more depressing in its accuracy than anything else [sigh].

I fail to find this even remotely funny.

The first video they ever did was ok. This, on the other hand, is crap.

Please, don’t waste our time with lame stuff like this.

Through an exclusive arrangement with the awesomely fine folks at JibJab, we’re selling the downloadable iPod version of this short for 1 cent at CartoonBrewFilms.com. The penny deal is only good through April though; after that it’ll be a $1.99 download at JibJab’s own website.

Everybody knows that Afghanistan is in Northern Africa.

I saw this video on the Tonight Show…
I thought that was Arrington - turns out it is.

But why did they fit you into the Afghanistan background?

I was trying to remember that guy’s name, with the stupid hat and jacket playing the piano. He would love that song though.

Cool that you’re in it Mike, and the video itself is well done. I even like the MSN player.

But the comedy… That’s fresh stuff– warmed-over-Mark-Russel-fresh.

Is it just me, or does this not work in anybody elses reader? I had to actually visit the TC site for once. (It’s a nice site and all, but I like my reader).

Gold video though.

hey Mike, a little off topic but how about integrating a rating system for all Tech crunch posts like Guy Kawasaki does on his site:

Like others who are busy, but visit TC frequently, it sure would be nice to quickly scroll through low-rated articles..

Lame-O (aside from the Kabul bit). I wonder how an outfit can sustain themselves with just 2 and half hits.

There’s this Network Solutions ad that uses the same “mouth shifting” animation and it annoys me to no end.

Wow.. I think it might be. If so, they are placing you in the 3% category. Mike, could you really point to Kabul on the map?

Good video.. I enjoy the JibJab guys.

yeah, Chris Pirillo and Robert Scoble, too. In front of a map of Afghanistan. hmmm.

Okay, am I seeing things?

At the 1:20 mark is that a pic of Mr. Arrington himself? It would be the stick figure to the left of the screen in front of the map of Afghanistan.

If so, you have officially made it Mike. Being featured in a JibJab video is a celebrity right of passage.

Do I win the prize>?
