Pixar-Inspired Animation Explains the NSA Perfectly

The NSA is creepy as hell. Luckily, the Internet found a way to make the whole spying-on-you clusterdiddle fun with a poignant animation that channels the playful Pixar Lamp of yore. Adorbz.

In the animation above, you'll see our old friend the lamp, except this time he's a security camera and the word on the screen is USA. The story proceeds as we know it will. The security camera bounces on the "U" in USA until he accidentally crushes it. When the camera turns to look at us in shame, the "USA" now reads "NSA". It's just as clever as it is depressing T_T

It appears the animation originated on Reddit, with user SexualWeasel making an original drawing, and joystick354 suggesting the storyboard. From there, skilled user Sqorck jumped into action, animating the concept from start to finish. He even made an alternate take (below) that has a more unsettling ending, which suggests the invisibility of the NSA's persistent spying. Well done, everybody!
