Videos: Taiwanese Animation, Documentaries, And Puppets Cover Occupy Wall Street
      

Occupy Wall Street protesters have just completed their third full week of general assemblies and dance parties at Zuccotti Park. But just as many politicians are only now starting to dip their toes into the protest waters, so too are Taiwanese animators, documentarians and puppets. Below, you can check out multiple videos to see how OWS is being covered—starting with some clarity from our favorite Taiwanese animators, Next Media Animation (NMA): more ›

Rapture Hangover: Can Harold Camping Come Out To Play?

Rapture Hangover: Can Harold Camping Come Out To Play?

Yesterday, even as frogs weren't raining from the heavens, locusts weren't swarming the subways, and earthquakes weren't sending cities crashing into the oceans, we still held out a little hope that we'd wake up to some sort of biblical fury today. Maybe just a little pestilence? Alas, the Apocalypse was a no-show yet again, leaving only sad, confused believers to be mocked in Times Square: "I don't understand why nothing is happening. It's not a mistake. I did what I had to do. I did what the Bible said," said an exasperated Robert Fitzpatrick, the retired MTA worker who spent all of his money to publicize Judgment Day, at 6 p.m. in Times Square yesterday, as onlookers laughed at him. Watch a sad video of the confrontation below: more ›

Video: Bin Laden's Final Moments, In Taiwanese Animation

Through the confusing maelstrom of the Bin Laden news deluge, comes clarity. Taiwanese animation studio Next Media Animation has released a subtle account—if subtle involves a slow-motion, John Woo style shoot-out and U.S. forces urinating on a corpse—of Bin Laden's final moments, and the jingoistic reaction of the American people in its aftermath. more ›

Video: McWeddings Get NMA Taiwanese Animation Treatment

McDonald's locations in Hong Kong recently started offering wedding packages: for just $1,282 you can get your dream McWedding party complete with pink balloons, a "cake" stacked from apple pies, and a pair of tiny souvenir crystal M rings. Now Taiwan's Next Media Animation is the latest to "report" on the growing "trend." We don't really have anything to add, except [SPOILER ALERT] the image of an infant Ronald McDonald love child is about as terrifying as we expected. We need to feast our eyes on our favorite mascot to make the nightmares stop. more ›

Olbermann Gets Taiwanese CGI, Bosses Call Him Crazy

Olbermann Gets Taiwanese CGI, Bosses Call Him Crazy

Keith Olbermann, the now-former MSNBC talk show host, has admired Next Media Animation's CGI reenactments as such moments as "Tiger Woods' car accident," but now NMA has given him his own video, which feature the Special Commenter with a golden parachute, being pushed by a NBC employee, replacing Parker/Spitzer on CNN and mopping up after Glenn Beck. more ›

Video: NYC Ranks # 1 for Bedbugs Among American Cities

Video: NYC Ranks # 1 for Bedbugs Among American Cities

Last month Forbes asked two of the nation's biggest pest exterminators, Orkin and Terminix, to rank the cities with the biggest bed bug problems. Guess who's #1, baby? That's right—as in all things, New York City is the greatest city in the world for the bloodsucking parasites, according to Terminix. (Orkin, an insignificant company we've never heard of whose opinion means nothing, ranked NYC a lousy 7th.) And because no tree falls in the woods these days without NMA.tv making an animated video about it, here is that video: more ›

Video: Taiwanese CGI Animation on TSA "Airport Rage"

Video: Taiwanese CGI Animation on TSA "Airport Rage"

The highbrow American media has been uniformly ignoring the widespread outrage over the TSA's new "porno scanners," but thankfully we have the Taiwanese Next Media Animation to report on this vital story that might have otherwise fallen through the cracks. It seems Americans nationwide are flying into "airport rage" over the TSA's Total Sexual Assault on travelers, who get a "patdown in a private room" if they refuse the full body imaging scanners. SPOILER: Al-Qaeda is pointing at our privates and laughing at us, y'all! more ›

Video: Bedbugs Continue Terrorizing NYC!

    

After reporting on the city's bedbug nightmare last month, Taiwan's Next Media Animation has filed a second segment on the marauding parasites. More specifically, the video is about NYC's supposed crime wave—murders are up, other crime is down, and yet who knows if these statistics are true? One thing is certain, bedbugs are on the rise, and NYC is virtually defenseless, because Mayor Bloomberg went and fired all the city's best bedbug-killing cops. more ›

Video: Bed Bug Epidemic Explained By Taiwanese CGI

      

Let's start this Friday right with the latest opus from Taiwan's Next Media Animation. This time bedbugs get the CGI treatment, with [SPOILER!] a special cameo from Fox News President Roger Ailes blowing away the parasites with a machine gun in the Wall Street Journal offices. And speaking of the Journal, today the paper reports that a Long Island woman is suing the Waldorf-Astoria, accusing the posh hotel of giving her bedbugs to take home to Levittown. more ›

Video: Taiwanese News CGI Takes On Islamophobia

      

As the country continues to have its Park 51 mosque and community center fever (aka "Ground Zero" mosque fever), how NYC residents and rest of the United States debate the issue is being watched by the rest of the world. But sometimes, just sometimes, it's necessary for foreigners to have the situation broken down to them by Next Media Animation, the Taiwanese CGI company behind the brilliant and lowbrow CGIs of Tiger Woods, Steven Slater, and many others. more ›
