Aussie Comics Explain World Economic Apocalypse in 3 Mins

If you haven't been following The Atlantic Wire's Heather Horn, you probably find the European financial crisis very confusing. You might still find it confusing. Fortunately, Australian comedians John Clarke and Bryan Dawe have prepared a surprisingly informative, if darkly comedic, three-minute video to explain the crisis. Like so much good satire, it's as funny as it is terrifying.



The video was linked by The Atlantic Council's eagle-eyed James Joyner, who writes, "This duo, likely unfamiliar to our American and European readers, have been appearing together on Australian television doing satirical interviews since 1989."
