NSA: National Insecurity

Cory Doctorow 6:23 pm Wed Oct 23, 2013

Tom sez, "This clip takes aim at the NSA and their spying, snooping ways – it's made by somegreybloke, and features Jeremiah McDonald (who clocked up 11 million views on YouTube with conversation with my six year old self) & Max Koch, another US based comedian, cartoon maker and funnyman."

This is pretty good, but moves into "inspired" territory around 2:01.
