2004 Internet Election Nostalgia

In the summer of 2004, just about everyone involved in the political campaign world (unless they were living under a rock) got a shot of humor when Jib Jab hit the netwaves and airwaves with "This Land is Your Land". Interestingly enough, they guys at Jib Jab had been creating cartoon jingles mocking politicians since 2000, but had never been noticed. This parody was so good it spread through the interenet like wildfire .. . to the point where the mainstream media could no longer ignore it. My apolitical friends an technically inept mother even managed to get onto www.jibjab.com to view "This Land is Your Land".
I would argue that it is not the internet that spread the musical piece of work, but the quality of the humor itself. OF course. . .the technology was the whole basis of the cartoon as it was, after all, a Flash presentation.
