Life in America is an indictment of the insanity of an authoritarian state gone wild. It is a deep intellectual statement wrapped in the vulgarities of the modern world. Although the names have been changed all of the incidents are based on actual occurrences.
Challenging content such as "Life in America" will automatically be rejected by those whose minds are gripped in the wasteland of "political correctness" but it is dedicated to those intelligent freethinkers who can see the broader context and understand the real message in this animation. It is to the thinkers that this animation is dedicated to.

It's a true story:
CNN announces the latest horror, where a US soldier (Thaddeus Q. Thwarntmeullner "the-twenty-twelfth") was videotaped telling the story of a horrendous massacre he perpetrated the day before in Afghanistan. The broadcast is interrupted with "Breaking News" also from CNN of the latest TSA body scanning procedure - NAKED GENITAL SCANNING!
The reporters at the press conference ask a series of questions regarding who has access to the image database containing the genital scans of all flight passengers. The questioners end up asking why it is necessary to scan the genitalia of toddlers and small children. The spokesperson's answer is anything but comforting. Meanwhile the evil oligarch from "Clawtec Inc." is in his laboratory disclosing to his assistant, a giant American Bald Eagle, that soon he will have the genital scans of all the flight passengers, ostensibly to be utilized in a yet to be disclosed evil plot.
After a brief commercial break for Dr. Wexler's Jowl Reduction Cream, The Dollar Spine, The History Channel, and The Sphincter, the story continues in the heart of the National Security Agency near Washington where General Jack Raper makes a phone call to Hollywood to ask a favor of the producer of his big reality show if the soldier can be the latest contestant. During the conversation we get a glimpse of how power works at the top. The producer agrees. And Thaddeus Q. Thwarntmeullner "the-twenty-twelfth" gets the job.

ok this got way too disturbing when it went into the 'mad scientist lab' but overall from what I say creepy is on a 10 (theme), story an 8, voice and animation a 8 and appeal after 5 minutes a 5.... overall if you are into this this is for you... if not you will understand this
'OH GOD MY EYES, MAKE IT STOP. MAKE IT STOPPP!!!!'
it got way too disturbing a long time before the mad scientist scene - trust me.

was really expecting that special lady contact info be real
really reminded me of an actress
if you had done your homework it would be an easy 5 star
keep up the good work
completely incomprehensible response - "special lady contact info" huh? what?
and trust me I've done my homework.
Hilarious commentary, and a neat animation style. Nice one.
Thanks. I wish that others weren't so gripped in the stifling hold of "consensus mindset" and have to "slight" it somehow, (to fit in I suppose).
The purpose of animation is to explore things and topics that cannot be done in meatspace. But for sure since I go where no one has ever gone before, people feel a need to marginalize this important work - i suppose to make them feel like upstanding citizens or something. Thanks for the words of support.

Funny. )))

A blunt force examination of modern life. Well made and animated sir.
Thanks Thugger, I couldn't have said it better myself. (In fact with your permission I'd like to include your description as a tagline for the film) :)
