The Most Tumultuous Show On Earth!

Come one! Come all! Step right up and buy a ticket to The Most Tumultuous Show on Earth! GEOPOLITICS! It’s a three ring circus and you’re invited!

Greetings from the overtired folks at JibJab Media. We’ve been working day and night for the past few weeks producing our first post-election political romp – an animated short entitled “SECOND TERM!” Set to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”, it features President Bush, conservatives, liberals, Hollywood activists and dysfunctional world leaders duking it out for power and influence.

To try and stay as neutral as possible in this era of red and blue, we started our production with a list of three things we thought every rational human being out there would agree with (regardless of color affiliation):

1) George Bush is President for the next four years (barring any incriminating DNA evidence);

2) There are lots of Liberal-hating Conservatives and Conservative-hating Liberals out there;

3) World leaders can’t seem to get their @#$% together.

From that simple list sprung the lyrics, music, voice performances and animation that we hope will keep you laughing for one minute and forty-five seconds (and maybe more if you watch it again to catch all the gags!).

Those of you out there in Interweb land who like to back people into corners and shout your opinions in their faces probably won’t like it very much…but for those of you who (1) accept George Bush is President; (2) recognize people on both sides of the aisle can go too far; and (3) hope world leaders figure this @#$% out soon… we made this for you.

We’d like to extend an extra special thanks to the entire team at Yahoo! that worked like crazy to make “Second Term!” a success.

Hoping it rises to your expectations,
