JibJab's Political Satire Cracks Up Campaign



Though the presidential election may be months away, at JibJab studio in Los Angeles today, they're celebrating.
JibJab creators, brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis have put their latest satire online.

"Right now, it's everywhere. I hate to say it," Gregg said. "I don't want our servers to be slow, but we got some big equipment in that server farm, and it's struggling to keep up."

JibJab is best known for its video mocking President Bush and John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign to the tune of "This Land is Your Land."

The Spiridellis brothers have brought that same brand of satire to the 2008 political race, skewering John McCain and Barack Obama equally.
In their "Time for Some Campaignin'" video, sung to the tune of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a Changing," McCain rides on a tank, trying to run over Obama.
