Jib Jab Takes on Outsourcing

Posted on October 17, 2005

JibJab.com, famous for their funny videos during the 2004 Presidential election, have come out with a new musical animation called Big Box Mart that targets outsourcing and mega-stores. Big Box Mart first debuted on The Tonight Show and then went live on JibJab.com and other video services.

CNET reports that the animation involves a U.S. worker losing his high skill factory job to a overseas economy that page lower wages. The worker then ends up doing janitorial work for a mega-retailer.

The JibJab.com videos are made by two brothers named Evan and Gregg Spiridellis. Evan Spiridellis says "'Big Box Mart' is about bad things happening to real people."
