Very clever. thanks
Wow, everything is here, right down to Chertoff’s conflict-of-interest recommendation scanners while he advises the company that makes them.
Love Osama laughing at the end….
Hilarious!
This is the first Taiwanese animation I’ve seen. The action was so engrossing that at first I didn’t notice the subtitles. Except for the talking head bit at the end, they weren’t really necessary. Very fine work!
recommended — thanks for sharing this
Take that TSA! Absolutely, amazingly accurate, yes, indeed, the terrorists have won…you did mean Chertoff when you said terrorist, right?
I think this may be the best (and comprehensive) NMA satire yet.
The “fed up flight attendant + emergency slide” was pretty good too. And Tiger Woods meltdown and…OK, lot’s of great stuff ;-)
We could replace CNN with the NMA crew and radically improve the quality and coverage of “cable news” overnight. “Congrats Wolf, you’ve been replaced with an animated character: it was more lifelike”.
no no settle for the Least Worst between two terrible choices, isn’t that the (D) captured way to do it?
Is that Bill Clinton holding the “Nov 24 Opt Out” to the left of the hot chick at the beginning?
You gotta love the picture of Chertoff sitting in front of the “RapeScan Systems” sign. It sounds like something Hamsher would coin.
And on a less funny note the scene with the terrorist sitting there laughing at this stupid shit is so pathetically true.
Peter LaBarbera of one of those anti-LGBT groups out there commissioned this. I know he did. He is the one worried about gay agents feeling him up.
This was more objective than most corporate US media!
Everyone who isn’t MSM seems to to get it.
The MSM, on the other hand, seem to be totally effing clueless. For example, the LA Times thinks the TSA and their scanners are doing a good job.
Probably the best one yet!
Rumor has it that this is what the Taiwanese do all before breakfast ;)

And the creepy politician watching it remotely. They must read us. I was talking about stuff like that.
I like the way this is beyond national, it is a global story now. Next thing we know some Bush family members, Cheney, etc. might be arrested.
They have been running a child pornography/rape/prostitution ring for a long, long time out of our government. There is a lot to cover up.
This could get exciting if as it is exposed and they also get prosecuted. But if they don’t get prosecuted, the public will become more and more angry as they hear about this.
The same issue is the hold-up to eliminating don’t ask, don’t tell, IMO. It is all about covering up rape, essentially making it legal. Once we are all allowed to ask and tell, all the rape stories will come flooding out.
The rapists in charge are not in favor of that turn of events. So we don’t have it happening – yet.
This one was better because it wasn’t as speculative. This is actually happening to us and it is scary. So instead of comedy news or entertainment, it is actually a threat.
I wish they would include a primer on what the X rays are doing to our tissues as they are “absorbed” into the skin. I know one thing for sure, it WILL increase the aging process and disease will result.
Just repeat after me, and click your heels three times:
He is laughing at Republicans,
he is laughing at Republicans,
he is laughing at Republicans.
(Of course there are Democrats he is laughing at too. )
Listening to John Tyner, the TSA have really picked the wrong guy to “subjugate”. Presentable, telegenic, calm, collected, and clearly very clever. Everything the TSA is not.
Didn’t you love Osama laughing his head off at the end? That’s exactly what he’s doing, because this is exactly the sort of ridiculous, self-defeating response he was hoping to provoke.
i like the Nun and Jesus with the protest signs against touching their junk… LOL..
Excellent.
I think we might as well kick it all in, folks. The new national anthem:

There was another Taiwanese video I viewed yesterday that I thought was more incisive. It had two actors, a woman who was about to be screened (she was wearing a pink business suit), and a uniformed agent with a counter standing between them. It was mostly dialog, but in English; no subtitles. Does anyone remember viewing anything like that?
