I meant to warn about the size of the file. It's worth it, though.

Not really anything special---unless I am missing something. No lyrics just some vamping music with their pictures on either side of the screen. Glorious waste of time.

Bill,

Yes, you are missing something. The vamping you refer to plays while the file is loading. The lyrics are a clever parody of Woody's original along with some funny graphics.

"sware words" - now is that a typo, or a pun for the kind of language you should be wary of? In which case it would refer to most of the content of most campaign speeches.

If the download for web content takes to long, there is always google cache that you can rely on for faster downloads:

Dear Guest, Nevaeh:

Maybe you should consider watching it first before you download it in front of your kids. Why would you be showing this to young kids anyway? And what's wrong with a few "sware" words--its part of life, deal with it.

P.S. Why don't you learn how to spell?

I get to the screen that has Bush and Kerry picture and saying "This Land" will download shortly - but then there is just a white box and that is it. I have received this as an email from a number of people and I also went right to the web page myself. Can you help. Or tell me what to download first. TX - kay mueller

Have you heard the latest? The creators of the video were on Good Day Live (out of L.A.) and have said that the publishers of This Land is Yuor Land (tied to the Woody Guthrie estate) are attempting to get them to stop providing it and a misuse of the original song.

Funny how things happen. An anti-establishemnt icon (Woody) writes a classic song about freedom and his descendants start trampling on the freedom to create parodies.

There's a song in there somewhere.

Interesting note re: The Guthrie Estate. I don't know if this is true or not. However, there is a thing called Fair Usage---and parodies of original songs are exempt from needing clearance. I am assuming this is considered a parody.

That said, The Capitol Steps do this sort of thing all the time. A plug now for them and my radio program on WFDU http://www.wfdu.fm They will be my guest on TABLETALK on Sunday Aug. 16 at 8 A M (for you early birds) Eastern time. TABLETALK is only a 30 min. program as opposed to my other one--TRADITIONS on in the afternoon on SUndays. You will hear some great parodies with the Capitol Steps--they take on Dubya,The French, Hillary, and more.   As they said---vote for the funny and likeable people. It will be streaming on the web.


But--back to the JibJab parody. I finally was able to download it (fairly quickly)----just great. Great graphics, cartooning, and effects in addition to the wit. Laughed my head off---still trying to screw it back on---pardon the word "screw" for those aesthetics in the crowd. I could do without the ads---but I guess that is the price we pay ---which is fairer than having to sit through ads in movie houses where you have paid an admission fee.   And overpaid on the snacks.

The brothers who are JibJab were on TV today and said they are currently in negotiations with the Guthrie estate. No one was there to represent the Guthrie Estate, so we don't know all their reasonsing, but it is under the concept of parody which the Supreme Court has clearly stated falls under free speech.

Get with the program....I would be more worried about teaching my kids to SPELL if I were you. Don't try to teach your children to avoid bad words...teach them to know the meaning and be respectful enough not to use them. Wake up! Times have changed and the only way to protect your children is for you to change too! You'll probably vote for Kerry, so I'm wasting my time.

If it won't download, try another time. It took me 3 times before it would download..........and worth the wait! Ironic about the guthrie estate, considering that woodie said on one of his tunes, and i quote "This song is copyrighted in US under Seal of Cypright 154086, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We lwrote it, that's all we wanted to do" He must be rolling in the grave.
The lawsuite makes me think of a sign we saw in a state preserve the other day: "US public property. No trespassing" Not a joke.
