MK12's History of America Web Sightings (updated twice)

just because internet translations are hilarious.. here is a babel fish translation of the blog post about the Chile screening of history of america:
"No, MK12 is not a Nu group metal, if not that one of the more important studies of motiongraphics of the moment. If they do not have idea of which I am speaking, they see the last Reel of MK12.... They already saw it. Good they are expert in that. And they will be in east Chile Fridays 20 of Julio invited by the faculty of design of the University of the Development. The idea is to do a conference deprived of only 50 cupos, and that they count its experience in the development of its work and your you have time to ask what you want. To attend the event costs $15,000 pesos Chilean (or 15 lukas), to register must call to 299 92 58. The place is in the same faculty of design of the University of the Development, this Friday 20 to 15:00hrs."

The Kansas City Star gave us a review, and a writeup on the studio in general...
"The 31-minute film visits the eternal conflict between Cowboys and Astronauts: There’s carnage and mayhem in space and on terra firma, a shootout in Las Vegas, and all manner of recycled pop and movie imagery. An epilogue recounts a kind of postwar, alternate American history, with momentous (if not warped) touchstones involving James Brown, Elvis, something called the Hemingway Doctrine and the Boston Tang Party."
