The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo.

This great cartoon helps anyone understand the credit crisis. It simply shows how we got into this crazy mess in a way that a kid could understand. There is even an HD version if you want to take a look. It is a little long, coming in at just over 11 minutes, but if you ever wanted to know why we are in this dilemma, it is good time spent.
