It really is the end of the world as we know it, but noone notices or really cares as long as it dosn't happen to them. Unfortunatly, by the time it does happen to them, it could be too late to stop the overpopulation crisis. The solution seems simple: everyone should hae fewer babies; but it is nearly impossible to tell people to go against their insticts, to have as many children as possibe, as fast as possible. Maybe one way to reduce the population, is to make abortion legal, this way, unwanted children can be prevented from adding to the problem unnessisaraly. Combined with global warming, an ever increacing amount of countrys, and polltion, the world is sliping through our fingers, and we don't even notice it! To illistrate: if a frog is placed in a pan of water, and the water is heated slowly enough, the frog won't react to the heat untill it is dead. I belive that the same thing is happining to humanity on Earth. Great flash, 9/10

"Artistically done!"

There were a few mistakes I picked up throughout the course of the movie. Firstly, you skipped number 5 in the list :P Other than that, it's just grammar here and there. It was also a very, very slow presentation. It really doesn't take that long to read a page, and I was going to attempt to write this review while I watched it, but the movie progressed just a little too fast for me to get more than a sentence in. It would have been neat if you speeded things up a bit.

57600 babies are born a day. 40000 children alone die from preventable diseases. The problem with overpopulation is that it's exponential, and that the more people we have populating the Earth, the more people there are going to be.

I found this flash while going to random submissions, and I've been thinking about this problem for a long time myself. While I do agree with you in saying that there will indubitably be epidemics and plagues and diseases that will wipe out billions, and sooner or later bacteria will become immune to all but the most potent of medicines, I don't believe it's healthy to wait that long. We'll have damaged the planet beyond repair, wreaked havoc on every ecosystem left, and viruses and bacteria and such will reign on the corpses of the infinite dead matter. I've been thinking about this problem for a long time, too, and I was most appreciative to see someone make a serious attempt at explaining and solving it. Unfortunately, I don't think waiting around is really going to solve everything in the longrun.

However, I've also realised, through the production of this film, that either way, a great deal of us are going to die. Whether by taking overpopulation into my own hands, gaining control of the world through military force (and thus wiping out about half of it), and then resuming populating control via birthrate, or whether we all simply die of bird flu, the end result is the same. Somehow, humankind is going to finish itself (and probably the Earth) off. It's a depressing thought, isn't it? It shouldn't be. Seeing as we're most likely doomed, regardless, why worry? Enjoy life, slow down the damnation process by recycling and not littering, and be merry.

*sigh* Ah well. We've all gotta die some time. I'm just sorry that we've screwed the world over and caused so much suffering to the other occupants of this planet, as well as ourselves. If only we'd learned how to be good guests, and to walk lightly on the earth as other creatures do.

Saved to favourites, in the hopes someone else will find this.

PS: Absolutely adorable credits. And I was actually talking to my computer when it asked me if I really wanted to know.
"Yes. I do. Yes really! Yes! Get on with it!" =)
