Just a bunch of jibberjabber?
JibJab brothers, Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, have agreed to donate 20% of any profits resulting from their parody of "This Land is Your Land" to the Woodie Guthrie Foundation. This agreement comes after Ludlow Music agreed to allow JibJab to continue using Guthrie's song in exchange for JibJab dropping a declaratory judgment suit against them. The brothers' parody of Guthrie's song has become a staple of the 2004 presidential election by mocking some of the candidates most infamous moments. When released in July, the company's computer crashed due to the abundance of people attempting to view the cartoon at the same time.
