JibJab takes aim at outsourcing

Iria · Oct 13, 2005, 11:31 PM

JibJab is moving its satirical sights from presidential politics to retail mega-stores and the outsourcing of U.S. jobs.

The latest Web animation from the Spiridellis brothers also marks a switch in online allies for JibJab, from Yahoo to Microsoft's MSN.

The new animated short, "Big Box Mart," features an "unsuspecting consumer" who loses his highly skilled factory-job because the work is being transferred to a lower-wage economy overseas. The worker ends up as a janitor at a mega-retailer.

"Big Box Mart" will debut late Thursday during NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Shortly after that, at 9 p.m. PDT, the animation will become available on MSN Video and at JibJab.com.

Didn't see it on Leno, but here it is (if you can get to the Jibjab server; it's really busy today ... probably because of this)
