Scrappleface branches out into flash animation with this hilarious send-up.
Even so, it's almost too much; look at the first half of the video. Scott Ott seems to have scoured the web to find pictures of people who have turned into self-caricatures, choked with rage, intolerance and hatred. And using Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" for the soundtrack - poignant yet treacly and overwrought - juxtaposed with the bland mundanity of the endless montage of people whose families were machined-gunned before their unbelieving eyes candidate lost an election...oy. Beggars imagination.
Via Blair.
UPDATE: I'm told it's not a parody, and that Scott Ott was not involved.

Treacle is right, excuse me while I go brush my teeth.

But the video? Yaaaaargh.
