Jibjab is a website that has made political cartoons (animated flash) for a number of years now. Just recently I found one that made me laugh and scared at the same time. Big Box Mart tells the story of the American people and their beloved super discount stores. I'm sure "Big Box Mart" is meant to embody companies such as Walmart, Target, Kmart and others. I have seen the effects of these stores on towns. My grandmother lives in a small town in Idaho and since the Walmart moved in (which nearly doubled the square footage of commercial space in the town I'm sure) many of the "mom & pop" local businesses have closed and now all the towns money, instead of trickling back into the town, is being shipped off to China. Watch the animation. I hope you get it.
