short-animation on american politics

http://www.knife-party.net/flash/barry.html

* “An un-apologetic criticism of US foreign policy and The Project for the New American Century. Animation follows the dialogue, giving visual poignancy and weight to Barry’s words. The propoganda-esque style of the motion graphics further re-inforces the message. Is this a conspiracy theory? Far from it. “

Be warned: highly political!

rent 10×10 pixels of (advertising) fame

Over 100,000 unique visitors today.. in one day. Incredible. The reason for this, I think, is due to some very big articles in some european newspapers, and on some big websites. I’ve been sent the links by loads of people so I’ll get those on the press page once I’ve had a chance to catch my breath.
