In 2005, JibJab released the video “Big Box Mart”. Sung to the tune of “Oh, Susannah”, it tells the story of an American factory worker who buys quantities of cheap, imported “crap” from his local Big Box Mart, a parody of big-box stores, running up large amounts of credit card debt. However, everyone else is also buying cheap, imported crap from Big Box Mart, so the American factory goes out of business, leaving our hero out of work and mired in debt at the age of 53. Along with the rest of his coworkers, he goes to work at the only industry left in town, which is Big Box Mart, where he spends the rest of his life living paycheck to paycheck, with little hope of being able to retire. |
