My good pal Chris has been busting his butt for about the last 6 months trying to finish this cartoon short. It’s a parody of those old 50’s educational films from yesteryear.

With only a week before the election he’s finally got it done. He’s making no money off it and there’s nothing for sale. There’s not even so much as an ad banner on the page. He’s just hoping people will watch it and have a laugh.

Consequently I don’t think this violates the Dope’s rules… (my sincerest appologies if it does).
