It's very heart warming that ppl of the world be so bright about what is going on in Iran. Thanks for making this great cartoon.

excellent piece, Mark.
you're so right in that the media said nothing about Nokia or Seimens aiding these rats in maintaining the grasp on power. I was just going to reactivate an old Nokia cellphone that I have, but will donate it to some charity instead and post your "comic" to a few hundred friends (in Saudi Arabia...)

thank you. Sad but True!

Mark,
Amazing job, Thanks...
you should our true feeling as Persians about our situation in Iran.
Wish you the best in your life

Thank you so much for this animation.
It's just showing real condition of Iran.
I wish I could save this file and showing to my friend off line.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MARK. YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. I'M AN IRANIAN STUDENT. YOU TRULY SHOW IRANIANS' BELIEF ABOUT THEIR DICTATOR REGIME. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU. TENS OF MILLION IRANIAN PEOPLE WATCHED THE ANIMATION ON VOA, AND YOU MADE THEM LAUGH AND YOU MADE THEM ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

Too bad Billy Mays died, he would have been ripe for this. Oxymoron Clean.

I'll bet Kim Jong-Il will be buying the Power Cling, and sell the Notice-Me-Now Rocket in exchange. :-o

Hmm. It lacks one of the peppy one-liners from your other infomercials.

The classic sell for the 'Bush Lame Duck' costume:

"Quack quack quack away ineffectually as the nation falls down around you."

And my personal favorite, for the InstaScandal dish:

"Never again will you be bothered by troublesome things such as wildfires, food riots, resurgent extremism, and crazy place names you can't even pronounce."

This one had Ahmadinejad killing people with a club, which, although funny in concept, is a touch too close to the truth. Thanks for pointing out the Siemens/Nokia thing, though.

All the Best,

COTO

I thought this one was great, unlike last week.

Nice animations every week. Funny and good satire too.

But why are you only commenting on dictators, torturers and murderers that show up on your television? Why not have a look at Birma, Saudi-Arabia or Egypt?

Because they are NOT on your television? Because many of those OTHER dictators, torturers and murderers are called "friends and allies" of your nation by the very same media?

Or because you don't give a damn as long as you can take a current topic every American knows a bit about and "recycle" it?

Sorry, Mark, but I don't think this animation was very funny. Because it just confirmed all the lies and propaganda that are flying around. (Not that ANY side in this would give a damn about the truth.)

i...don't think this was that great. a little too simple. sorry. the rest of your stuff is spot-on, though!

ah... so that is where knuckles went...
I think I saw him on a scooter.

If only Americans got it that our system is just as loaded.

Anyone know Farsi and want to record a translation of this? -MF
