Her awesome (and likely offensive to some) full-length movie "Sita Sings the Blues" is available for free download:

It's hilarious, and the music is great!

Note: I'm not a spammer, just a big fan

You get a bunch of assholes that cause wrecks everywhere endangering innocent children.

One of these days, the world is going to step in and say "We're sick of this shit." And it is coming to that because I think the world is sick of this shit from both sides.
