absurdist book report: How To Kill a Mockingbird

Unfortunately, I can't get that five minutes back. But at least I can try to share the pain:

Requires Flash.

Those of you looking for literary criticism, look elsewhere. Those of you, for that matter, looking for anything that actually even talks about the book much, likewise. Those of you, however, who are curious about how one might work in pirates (and ninjas, natch) into a book review of To Kill A Mockingbird...well, you should look elsewhere, too, because the answer is: just put them in with no regard for justification whatsoever.

I was hoping to get the teacher's (or other students') reactions. No such luck, I'm afraid.

I blame lethran.

Pirates riding flying, burning sharks!

If only they had included monkeys...

I kept waiting for an admission that he'd fallen asleep partway through.

WTF, mate!

Okay, that was a lot longer than 5 minutes. More like 15.
And all of it Real Ultimate Power.

The one redeeming feature is that it plays Chariots of Fire during the credits, which is awesome.

Reminds me of a piece of @#@#&*! that I saw at Orycon a few years back. Flash @#@#&*! like this just makes Homestar look all that much better by comparison.
