yea I posted this cause I couldn't believe how many there were, shame on the U.S that we had more than the rest of the world combined. This is the kind of information that could have been conveyed very effectively (if effective is an easy to read data display) with a bar graph, but the the way that the audience has to invest time to watch it seems very effective to me. The time investment is time spent contemplating the data being presented, the viewer spends a lot more contemplative time when the data is presented in this manner. It struck me as a masterful display of quantitative information, perhaps it is art? I wondered how you folks think the choice of medium and presentation struck you?
