Why I Watch the Pinky Show

So, here's the challenge. How do you get people to pay attention to history and also to current issues and ethical dilemmas but not be a Michael Moore?

Answer: Draw a cat.

Pinky is no doubt the most analytical cat in the world. Pinky reads books, gets experts to explain things --like holocausts, the healthcare crisis, the World Bank, Poverty and even an image of "cats with guns."
The Pinky Show creators live out in the California desert. There isn't much out there except lots of time to think about things and create lo-tech videos. Their videos are 100% viewer funded, so if you like what they do, toss a few dollars at them to fund shows that are better than anything 60 Minutes does or points the way to the fact that maybe Charlie Rose needs a dose of catnip.

Check out Pinky Show. You can also find them on YouTube. Here's the trailer. Then JUMP IN, just like a cat.
