"America's Best Friend": Obama Healthcare Cartoon

PRI has released a new video skewering President Obama’s purported health care reform, a video which characterizes the plan as a large, not-terribly-bright dog—well-meaning, but unwittingly destructive.

“This government plan is heavy-handed, out-of-touch, and ultimately not the answer to whatever health care problems are out there,” said Colin Mason, PRI’s Director of Media Production. “This cartoon is intended to illustrate that in a way that we can all relate to:.”

The video was hand-animated by PRI staffers Joseph Powell and Joan Robinson, who stated that they don’t believe there is anything else quite like this on the health-care video scene.

“In addition to being hand-animated by our staff,” said Powell, “we think its quality, simply as a humorous piece, is pretty high. We decided that our primary goal was to point out the utter absurdity of Obama’s plan, and we think this video does this nicely.”

“Obamacare will take a big bite out of health care for seniors,” said Steve Mosher, PRI’s president, “which is why it’s only appropriate to illustrate it as a bumbling canine who does far more harm than good.”

The video is available at PRI’s YouTube page, or by visiting PRI’s web site.

Population Research Institute Releases Humorous Cartoon on Health Care Reform

FRONT ROYAL, VA, Sept. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Population Research Institute, a pro-life research group based in Front Royal, VA, has released the first in a series of humorous cartoons intended to give the facts on President Obama's purported health care reform.

This video is only the first of several slated to come out in the next few weeks, and each is intended to deftly tackle one specific aspect of health care.

"People are having trouble wrapping their minds around the 1,000 page health care bill," says Colin Mason, PRI's Director of Media Production and one of the video's main architects. "Our short videos will give people the facts in a way that they can quickly absorb and communicate to others."

"While the videos are funny, they are also factual," Joseph Powell, the cartoon's primary artist and narrator. "They're little chunks of information that people can pass around, short enough to forward to friends, relatives and co-workers interested in the health care debate."

The first video is available at PRI's YouTube page (www.youtube.com/colinpri1), or by visiting PRI's web site: www.pop.org.
