This land is your land, this land is my land, and during the month of July, the landscape of online political satire belonged squarely to JibJab.
Upon strolling into the offices of JibJab Media on Monday, company co-founder Gregg Spiridellis was presented with some staggering numbers. According to Internet statistician ComScore Media Metrix, JibJab's online lampoon of President Bush and Sen. John Kerry received 10.4 million unique hits during the month of July.
To put that number in perspective, the bipartisan political prank accounted for more than three times as many visits as did the official campaign Web sites of the presidential candidates themselves.
"Wow," Spiridellis said, as he considered the site traffic totals for the first time. "It's really staggering to look at the list of top-ranked sites and see who we're ahead of."
The short film takes pokes at both candidates with a spoof sung to Woody Guthrie's tune "This Land is Your Land." The animated Flash video drove an additional 8 million hits to the AtomFilms site, which also hosted the piece and helped stream the movie for JibJab's site.

I have seen this and it is quite funny.
