That irritated me enough that I turned it off about halfway through.

I almost thought it was a Rory Bremner sketch

I'm surprised you made it that far...I stopped after a couple of minutes of that crud.

I know what they're trying to get across, but it just falls flat.

It wasn't too bad. I thought it was a bit over-the-top at time with the ridiculous exaggerations, but some of the parts I thought were genuinely funny notwithstanding.

A couple of things seemed to have a grain of truth.

I didn't like the end at all.

Do we really fund tobacco farmers?

I watched the whole thing, to my my regrent. Its just annoying libertarian Propaganda with there Standard "RAR! Taxes BAD!" shlock. And am getting headaches getting past the "don't save" bit that they came up with.

Farm subsidies are a political maneuver designed to please rural constituents. They don't make any rational sense; in no other industry do we so aggressively fight the spectre of small-business bankruptcy as we do for the so-called "family farm".

Because the "family farm" is the last true vestige of "traditional" family values, good wholesome living, yadda, yadda. Just ask any FM.
