Reviews for "Angry Mermaid"
Ahahaha!
I LOVE that in the end there is a copy of Spin Watch, which does exactly as it says, watches for PR and socio-political spin, anyone else see the irony in that. "Hey! We don't like the PR you're putting out there, so we're gonna make a magazine to put our spin on it" Environmentalism is good, we need it as a part of the yin yang of human development. But lets face it, environmentalists are as human as oil tycoons and are just as evil, just for a different cause. Oh, and Nazi's were elected into office on a platform of economic reform, health care and environmentalism... think about it.
1 star for animation
That's pretty much it. Digging for oil =/= global warming. Global warming is a friggin lie. Hell, they were bitching about global COOLING way back when!
Anyway, it's nicely animated, but the message is crap.
So oil rigs causes tidal waves?
The animation is good, the audio is clear, and helping the environment is good cause but how the message is being sent is extremely asinine that it becomes counterproductive. The flash video defies logic by claiming that oil rigs are responsible for tsunamis despite the fact that they are created as a result of sudden shifts of the Earth's plate boundaries which have been going on for millions of years. In other words, tidal waves are like water versions of volcanoes where they'll set off in different periodic times. This message is trying to scapegoat someone for an uncontrollable natural phenomenon that managed to tear apart communities just so people who think the same way would feel better that there is some supposedly evil organization they can attack.
Because the irrational logic heavily undermines anything good about this flash video, I have to give this no stars.
Don't like what I said, tough!
Great!
I could tell this was going to be a message about the environment. While I'm not the biggest fan of these lessons, it's important that you are able to show it in a fun matter. The animation and music was very nice as well. I kept thinking the guy with the mask was going to be the spy from "Team Fortress 2". It's important that people are aware of these things and what we can do to help them. I loved the use of real life photographs to emphasize the importance of your cause.
