Pup On Top animation from Symbolman!

For those of you who remember Symbolman, he's been working on a new animation about Mitt Romney and his dog, Seamus! See a preview of the work-in-progress here:

http://www.indiegogo.com/PupOnTop

Part of the description from Symbolman:

"This year I discovered what Mitt Romney had done to his family's beloved pet - an Irish Setter named Seamus, and I was SHOCKED beyond belief. Mitt tied Seamus's carrier on the roof of his auto, drove 12 hours (until the animal was so traumatized that explosive diarrhea streamed down the back of the car), at which point Romney hosed Seamus off and DID it all over. Again.

It appeared to be nothing less than Torture.

If this is how Mitt Romney treats a pet, then how will he, the GOP candidate for President of the United States, the most powerful office on the planet, treat human beings?

You know the answer. Like a dog. Actually, worse.

So I created a response - a 10 minute satirical Dr Seuss style animation titled, "Pup On Top", now nearing completion, and with your help we can alert the public, the world, and most of pet loving America to the danger and/or depravity that apparently fuels Mitt Romney's most basic character flaw, in the end he's either clueless, or cruel."

I bought a bunch of them and gave them as novelty Christmas gifts...still a winning idea. I look forward to this new project.

I think that's his. Either way, it was one of the greatest Flash Animations of Reagan ever made. Exposed his administration for the criminal and scandal-ridden politburo it was.

Rumsfeld, Rice, etc. etc.

Throw Lucianne Goldberg in for good measure.

He is a true patriot, displaying courage during the Bush years.
