Three Big Pigs: Geopolitics, 2011 Style

So, you’ve been looking for a better way to understand the ever-evolving complexities of middle Eastern populist uprisings, even if you don’t know the Gulf of Sidra from the Jersey Shore, or your Oman from your Conan? Fear not, gentle reader.

My vote goes to this inspired YouTube video, produced by Russian animator Egor Zhgun. Think Rovio Mobile’s ubiquitous Angry Birds meets Twitter meets faux-1932 Disney Three Little Pigs.

Now this is how to learn geopolitics in true 2011, meme-of-the-moment, social media style.

Simply awesome. No (April) fooling.
