It's nicely done animation, but I was a little surprised by how he characterized and cartooned the "sub-prime" family as "irresponsible", while not mentioning the huge irresponsibility of financial deregulation explicitly (credit default swaps just get a passing definition), and not mentioning predatory lending at all. My eyebrow raised further when I scrolled down to see what's on the T-shirt that he's selling (which a cynic might conclude is the ultimate point of this website).
