The article links to an independently hosted HTML5 copy of the video, in case you want to see it first-hand. It's very cleverly done, quite amusing (at least if you're a Buffy fan), and definitely looks like fair-use:

Man, those textual pop-ups are annoying!

Amen. I find it hard to get upset about the takedown notice when I want to take it down for melting my eyes. Perhaps this is unfair of me, but there it is. Thanks for the clutter-free link.

That was a tech demo for popcorn.js, showing how you could replicate the popup video feel. The bubbles are overlaid on top of the html5 video and controlled through javascript.

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen this video before. It's really well done, and indeed is an original and convincing critique of the insufferable Twilight series. This sort of speech can only take place in a context of fair use. They had to show Ed's pasty mug so they could stake him.

I was a fan of Pop-Up Video so I enjoy the aesthetic.
