I will even give you the whole afternoon to whale away on me.
Whale away? Is this your way of telling us you're fat? Or your way of circumventing talking about your love for sperm?

Remember those L.A. Pic's? None of those boys got mistakened for an Olsen twin while hanging at Canter's.
They were like a "whale-ing wall".

I saw that for the first time this past weekend. Good stuff. Unfortunately, it may not last long. I'll dig up the article later, but I read that the publishing company that owns the rights to the song "This Land" is planning on sueing the creators of JibJab.com.
I'm pretty sure the Supreme court has already ruled on this issue. Parody is protected as free speech. All they have to do is prove that their use of the song is parody.
This is true. Just thought it interesting that the copmany that owns the rights to the song would even bother with the notion of filing suit being that parody/satire is protected free speech. Waste of time, money, energy that could be better spent developing a sense of humor.
From Ars Technica:
"JibJab's lawyers are arguing that the use of the song is protected by Fair Use, but the Fair Use protections in question usually only relate to parody, not satire. The distinction is usually determined by looking at who's being made fun of. A proper paraody is one which makes fun of the thing being mimicked. So, one would be hard pressed to argue that this short animation isn't protected by Fair Use if it made fun of the original song, but it doesn't. Using the song's general features, it takes aim at Bush and Kerry, and as such, it probably would not be protected." (Emphasis mine.)
"As of yet, both sides are only exchanging heated legal correspondence, but if it goes to the courts, you can expect JibJab to be forced to pull the movie down. For more information, see the EFF's coverage."
The EEF seeems more optimistic.

If putting those 2 idiots to music isn't a parody of 'This Land', then what is?
I see the morons as the tools used to parody the song, not the other way around.

Is it a work/office thing, or on your home PC as well?
And you don't need to download anything, it will just stream from the site, which isn't the same. This clip won't destroy your computer; I've played it from my office which has a rather strict firewall.

You mean things like facts, substantiation, and evidence...
