i think that you guys should at least acknowledge that this joke was made fourteen years ago by a webcomic, seen here nukees . com / d / 19970203 . html

@datawraith3080 - This cartoon was brought to my attention for the first time by datawraith3080 4 months ago. (We posted his comment and link 4 months ago.) People organically come up with similar ideas all the time. I came up with the concept of The Job in 2001. I was sitting at a stoplight on Sunset Blvd, outside Home Depot. I was working a terrible job and saw the men working so hard to TRY and get a job. I thought to myself, "What if I everyone had to do that every day?" The Job.

I'm a big fan of this piece...not only is a great concept, but as a film maker, it is shot nicely. I'm really curious what camera this was shot on? How long did it take you to shoot and if you feel comfortable answering this, what was the total budget? once again, great job!

[Jonathan Browning]

- Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad that you enjoy it so much. It was shot on the HVX 100 with Redrock lenses. (We also had an amazing DP.) We shot for 1 day. This was the first film shot by Screaming Frog Productions. Like all of our other films, it was paid for by my wife and myself...with a great deal of support. Everyone worked for deferred pay and we found a producer who got us a great deal on the equipment. We are lucky to share the dream.

Soon we will see this all over the US. It's not a joke....... Thanks to our smart government. We know how to take cere of other nation problems but not our own.........wake up America!

The Government sucks, Senator Hatch sucks- they're all two faced, we need someone we can trust, a "radical" like Ron Paul- they're the only consistent ones- the only ones you can trust not to go behind your back. It's not the job of the Government to influence the economy- I believe if they do we have a right to steal from them- they stole from us

[Pat Heine]

We need to get Gov. out of our lives. Any Politician that voted for TARP screwed the middle class and benefited big Bankers. When Gov. tries to play the role of God and decide who wins and who loses we ought to get rid of them. Senators like Orrin Hatch have since said they wish they didn't vote for TARP (now he wants to appear as if he was swindled but really he was scratched by lobbyists). We need to get real champions of the free market into Congress or we'll become a fascist Nation

Hey Screaming Frog!

Yeah, I remember something similar before. Doesn't mean you actually saw it. I have the same problem, too. In early '87 Some mates and I came up with an original idea and with some other friends and shot a short concept on video. Been trying for years to get the guys together to finish the story, maybe a graphic novel, but I discovered last month that someone else has been successful with the same concept, but different approach. I'm heartbroken, but I know I was oiginal.
