This is from 2006, but in the cyclical world of internet video, it’s going around again today: an animated short called The Happy Life that would make a good video e-card for that person in your life whose grin you want to wipe off. (Actually, it’s good either way, and wouldn’t really be that depressing if it just had different music.)

Maybe it’s going around now because of Mad Men, or maybe everything lately seems to be influenced by Mad Men.
