WABBIT vs. KPUT

I saw this a few years ago on TV, and finally got a chance to see it again when I bought the Space Jam Special Edition DVD. Basically, Bugs and Daffy are rival music-VJs (music-video jockeys for those of you not familiar with the term) who play various pieces of music from Looney Tunes cartoons, including the famous "What's Up, Doc?" piece, the Wackyland musical number, and a tribute to the music of WWII cartoons. Of course, Daffy starts getting jealous and jams the signal, causing the two to duke it out for the channel! I thought this was hilarious, mostly because I'm a broadcast student so everything they were talking about hit home for me (the FCC, jamming the signal, ratings, etc.). I have to admit that I'm rather upset at whoever released this with all of the new sound-effects and music put on it because for most of time I couldn't even hear what Bugs & Daffy were saying! I strongly suggest this short to anyone who loves the old Merry Melodies, but since you have to buy the Space Jam DVD to watch it, I guess most people are kinda out of luck.
