This land is your land

If you never got to connect to that great animation of Bush & Kerry, here's why....and it's new home.

As of Friday, the feature had already been viewed more than 10 million times, according to AtomFilms, which controls its distribution. Typically, a film is considered a hit with 1 million viewings a year, said Scott Roesch, AtomFilm's vice president of marketing.

The feature was created by brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, whose site, www.jibjab.com, was overwhelmed early last week as millions of people attempted to download ``This Land.'' By Monday evening San Francisco-based AtomFilms -- which runs many of Jibjab's works -- took over hosting the brothers' cartoon. But AtomFilms, too, found its Internet capabilities topping out.

By now, parts of the "This Land" have been shown on Fox News, CNBC, CBS "Early Show," the "NBC Nightly News" and elsewhere. Last Friday, the brothers were talking with Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" about appearing tonight.
