By Jonathan | Published: November 27, 2008

I like this. Nice piece of social commentary. Well executed and a nice throwback to those pop-up books I read as a kid. Plus there’s some very strange bonus sounds if you poke around a bit. The internet is indeed a wonderful thing. [via Tom (who needs to get a website/blog!)]
