2006 Horizon Awards III: Worst Use of Flash for History

I should preface this by explaining that I really love Jesse Byock. His books on Medieval Iceland are excellent, treating the sagas as historical material with a commendable blend of caution and respect. Go buy one, or at least read his prefaces to Hrolf Kraki's Saga and the Volsung Saga online.

With that out of the way, may I suggest that this flash animation of feud dynamics is a bit silly?

What, you don't like the cute little animated sheep flowing from the poor farmer to his less than ethical chieftain?
