it occured to me the other day that i have no idea where most of the products i use come from, what they're made out of, and what effect they have on local/international economies.
so this is about consumerism.

"Thought provoking and interesting"

I don't know why, but I'm drawn to this flash by your art style It's not incredibly detailed, but yet it's quirky and cool in its own way! I like how it (appears to be) is set on another planet; this shows us that what happens in our backyard happens all over the world.

I see it this way: the little lever that kinda breaks in the beginning causes the ball to roll; longer it rolls, the more the problem "snowballs." Then the solution is out of our reach when it falls into the cave. Business will lose money, so he (maybe the colorful guy) goes to get the working men (blue w/ brown pants) to solve it. Hence the propaganda/advertisement tower. I think the blue lizards represent the problems, and the little spots of light are "cracks in the system." So when he finally gets the ball, he has been deluded into thinking everything is better by the powers that be.

Anyway, I enjoyed it and it made me think. Nice work!

"Nice"

I get the meaning. The rich are on top of the poor. When the poor try and strike back they're beaten down. It's off thier backs that the factories run to give luxories to the ones on top. Excellent man, truly excellent!

"Wow!"

The whole time I'm building up some idea of what the end might be, but the ending completely throws me a curve! Very nice job. I'm not sure it was completely without humor though.
