Last week we wrote about NMA News, the Taiwanese news service that covers stories through animated retellings, and their coverage of the 2006 Al Gore sex scandal. Well, while their animation may only be at the level of bad video game cut scenes, NMA News isn’t dumb. Apparently realizing how many hits they got from American blogs, NMA has created a follow up video (and helpfully translated the YouTube description to English). The best part? Not only do they appear to be pandering to Americans, they’re also pandering to the American Right by presenting all Gore fans as brainwashed hippies. Let the fun begin…

The new video includes all of the latest developments in the case, including those damn stained pants. However, it’s the little bits of cartoon insanity that NMA adds that is really making them my new favorite news source. In addition to the hippies, we also get some fun humping poodles. There’s even a cameo for none other than Monica Lewinsky! So check out the video but be warned. After watching this, you’re going to start wishing that all of our news was animated by crazy people from Taiwan.

ps. If you want further proof that the people at NMA are secretly geniuses, check out their version of the Anna Chapman spy story. They’re smart enough to know that pictures of a sexy Russian spy are much more fun than their cartoons could ever be.

Al Gore, NMA News

You mean all Al Gore fans are not brainwashed hippies?

News to me.

When I typed that sentence, I did a little countdown in my head to that exact response. :)

Al Gore is just emulating his boss on the non-sex sex. Get out his presidential campaign poster and put it up in post offices. Is this rape, according to NOW? Hey, let’s prosecute the Lacrosse team instead. Oh, wait a minute, that gal was a hooker, not a massuese.

This cartoon…in Mandarin Chinese …provides more information of the allegations of the sexual assault by the crazed sex poodle than you can find in all of the MSM

The assumption that NMANews is the name of the CGI news channel is wrong in the same way that it’s wrong to say “News Corp. News” is the name of Fox News’s YouTube channel.

“NMA” stands for “Next Media Apple.” Next Media is a Hong Kong-based media conglomerate, which specializes in tabloid and yellow journalism. Apple Daily is its newspaper arm, which first began publishing in Hong Kong 1995 and later established a separate local version in Taiwan.

After Hong Kong’s unification with China, diminishing press freedom drove Next Media to divert its publishing energy to its Taiwanese subdivisions, and the CGI news channel is one of the creative fruits. Branded “Apple Animated News” in Mandarin Chinese (very wise not to name its English version “Apple,” no?), it’s done in the classic Apple Daily style, which is known for highly graphic CGI portrayal of sensational news, only now instead of stills it moves.
