As you may have already spotted at Cartoonbrew.com, the legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is at the center of a Flash-animated parody campaign at badmash.tv. The animation is simple, but those designs are gorgeous (can anyone help identify the artist?). Here’s a parody of Hillary Clinton’s 3am TV spot…
The second season of Comedy Central’s Lil’ Bush premieres tonight with an all new episode titled St. Patrick’s Day. Kevin Federline adds his voice to the show as Lil’ Karl Rove - or MC Rove.

With primaries in both Texas and Ohio, today is a pivotal day in the American presidential election process, and this Flash-animated short by Xeth Feinberg helps set the tone.

You may know Xeth’s previous work which includes Queer Duck: The Movie, Hard Drinkin’ Lincoln and his recently revamped original series Papu Smash.
A new SuperNews episode premiered yesterday, and it stars Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in a showdown of biblical proportions. In The Democratic Messiah?

Who will be the true savior?
Eduard Sidoruk, a 28 year old animator from Belarus, created this Flash-animated satire about political war games. The short is titled E2-E4, an allusion to a chess match.
Josh Faure-Brac and the SuperNews team have placed their longest episode yet under the YouTube tree. It’s a spoof of Frank Capra’s 1946 film It’s a Wonderful life.
