I didn't say it was done by amateurs, I said it seemed amateurish. Just because someone is a professional doesn't mean the work they produce can't be amateurish.
I love Ask A Ninja, but I think this is subpar for that crew.
As you say, it really is a matter of taste. I hated Jib Jab too. I thought there was much better political satire on the web in 2004, but folks like what they like.
There's really no right or wrong, only effective or not effective. Even with the BoingBoing bump, I think the jury is still out on this one. It still has less than 5,000 hits.
The "Incarcerex" video just got BoingBoinged as well. We'll see how that does. Hopefully the DPA folks will get a good boost out of it.
Good points, all. I like it, though I could do without the spanking and the Bill joke, but that's just my opinion.
oh no, the spanking was one of the best parts. if we can't laugh at our own folks, we are pretty sad people.
