What Sucks...Jib Jab

I can’t really think of anything less funny than this video right now. Baby seals being beaten? Children getting TB? Carlos Mencia? (NOTE: don’t click on those links- very disturbing.) I’m at a loss.

Let’s try an experiment. Show this video to your friend. Then tell them…

“149 acres of rainforest are lost every minute, globally.”

Which got more laughs? You or the video?

Let’s raise the stakes a little- show someone else the video. Then tell them…

“Tobacco use, which is highly preventable, can be directly linked to 18.1 percent of total deaths.”

Are you still getting more laughs than “the jab”? Me too. Crazy huh?

Let’s go for broke- roll the video...

And now hit them with…

“Every day, almost 16 thousand children die from hunger-related causes. One child per 5 seconds.”

You have to be hearing more crickets than that Jib-Jab video, right? Wait, don’t tell me.

In closing, let me say I’d rather see a spot on my X-ray than another one of these Jib-Jab videos. Or a hair in my food. Or an Adam’s Apple on a date.

And seriously, if they got to use Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin" without having to pay for the rights to use that song, there's something wrong with our parody laws.
