The housing crisis can be very confusing. Who understands sub-prime loans and mortgages anyhow? The Explanotions team right here at Current TV does and to bring you up to speed on why the housing market is down they’ve created this special lil' animation pod just for you.

  • Finally! A complex topic is broken down in 'little chewable pieces' so my 'island mind' can comprehend this terrible issue. I so love cartoons.

  • Thanks for breaking down this complex issue. It's important for people (especially those who otherwise would not be able to access this information) to understand current issues which may have lasting affects on their lives. Shows like this bring large issues down to size. Can't wait to see what they do next...

  • Good use of terminology breakdown, music, visuals; and colorful graphics.

    Suggestion for the next chapter: "Global Warming and You"....

  • Very Good job Steven. I always knew you would go far. Keep up the good work my man.

  • Wooooow. This is good stuff. I used to work for a sub-prime lender and this is pretty much what we would deal with, large loans for people not making a lot of money. It wasn't a good idea but loan officers and such were making a grip of money and really didn't give a shit, and the borrowers were happy too. Honestly I left the company in a month before even closing a loan because the whole "scheme" made me sick to my stomach. Yep, your FICO will get you far in this country.

  • Don't like this video and i don't like the art style of Super News/ Explanotions. They did do a good job of getting their point across. I just think the blues parody is sort of cliche these days.

  • I like this...it's informative and fun at the same time. I can show it to my kids, too! How about some more?

  • Good job. Hopefully more are on the way!
