Schoolhouse Rock that tells it like it is. Cory Doctorow:
Pirates and Emporers is a pitch-perfect send-up of the “Schoolhouse Rock” musical civics cartoons of the 1970s — easily the most-compelling educational materials aired on US TV — in which the dark history of US international policy (funding terrorists, arming atrocity-mongers) is set to jaunty music and simple animation.
(Thanks, Cassidy!)
This is extremely funny satire, using the framework of Schoolhouse Rock to instruct us about the differences between Emperors and Pirates. Also a very catchy tune. Made my day. [A Man with a Ph.D. – Richard Gayle's Weblog]
