JIBJAB: What We Call The News
JibJab today released its latest musical satire entitled “What We Call the News.” The original video, set to the tune “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” lampoons news outlets for covering absurd and ridiculous stories at the exclusion of hard news in their epic quest for ratings.
“What We Call the News” features the comic media stylings of Bill O’Reilly, Larry King, Geraldo Rivera and Anderson Cooper, as well as pop diva Britney Spears and deceased train wreck Anna Nicole Smith. The two minute musical romp also includes the faces of more than 100 JibJab fans who emailed pictures to the company for a chance to be in the video.
JibJab is a digital comedy network founded by brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis in 1999. The company achieved international fame in 2004 with its political parodies, “This Land” and “Good to be in DC!,” which were seen more than 80 million times on every continent (including Antarctica). NASA even contacted the brothers for a copy of “This Land” to send to the International Space Station.
