Countdown To Crisis - National Debt

This video is an example of a piece of time-based media which recently challenged me to think. It is definitely a politically motivated ad but without getting into the politics behind the agenda, I can note that I do like the simple visual format that is used to display the factual data. The narrator seems likable enough. There is electronica/techno music in the background to evoke a sense of urgency I would imagine, but not played loud enough to bother the older viewing audience. The images on screen are basically a fast moving, dynamic power point video with images of things like money, political leaders, outer space, and statistical charts.

Now, I am not suggesting that there is not more to the story than that which is displayed here, but it provoked a stronger response out of me than usual, and I think this is because of the way that all of these mentioned above were blended together. However, I am biased toward outspoken opinion (regardless of whether or not I agree), quantitative proof, comparisons that give a visual imagery of what the speaker is referring to etc.
