"Timothy McVeigh Finishing School"

It's pretty well understood that the Iraq war will have some far-reaching negative consequences. One of them happens to be that relaxing military recruiting standards has lead to infiltration of the military by far-right extremist groups.

Yes, it's an ad.

But it's so well done that it's also a pretty cool stop-motion music video. Seems like there's a rekindling of interest in stop motion and almost a yearning for older, seemingly simpler times.

We need more commenting! Let's turn this not only into a links page but also a discussion board--who's with me?

In response, some Palestinians tried the stunt by kicking a soccer ball over the wall. What they got back wasn't a soccer ball.
