this is actually not that great. while i'm sure the cause of giving people of the world more say into what goes on in washington is worthy, coldcut's brand of "media terrorism" (along with cohorts ebn, jello biafra and others) seems to me like the left's answer to right-wing hysteria mongering. also, they're a bit stuck in the 80's. still, definitely worth a visit for video-collage aficionados and creative types. make your own!
the easy way to find what changes is to save the gif and open it in an app like quicktime player, where you control the animation rate. if you see one image cut straight to the next without the white flash frame, you'll see it immediately.
of course that negates the whole point, but who wants to know they're "change-blind" anyway.
