IT Crowd themed boot animation for Android phones

If you have a rooted Android phone, maybe you’ve messed around with replacing your boot animation (there are ways to do it without root, but you’re rooted anyway, right?).
I was bored a few months ago and I made a boot animation for my Droid Incredible that is based on the opening credits of the fantastic show The IT Crowd (look it up on Netflix if you haven’t seen it. You can thank me later). Now I’ve updated the animation for the 720p screen on my new Galaxy Nexus.
I made a crappy video demonstrating the boot animation here: http://bit.ly/ITCBoot
If you’d like to download them, they are here:
Galaxy Nexus (1280×720 version)
Droid Incredible (800×480 version)
Basic readme instructions are included in the zip file.
Install at your own risk!
My animation got a nice mention here on Androinica: http://androinica.com/2012/01/galaxy-nexus-it-crowd-boot-animation/

Being an IT guy myself, my favorite show in a long time is the IT crowd!
Imagine my delight when I stumbled across this. And I just so happen to have a Galaxy Nexus. Coincidence? Fate, more like it!
I downloaded this and managed to get it working. My girlfriend thinks it’s the lamest thing ever. She just doesn’t get pixel art. I love this and if she’d have a Nexus, I’d install this on her smartphone just to piss her off!!!
