It isn’t immediately clear whether the Maryland Comptroller has an ingenious sense of humor or just really low standards, but “Real Tax Payers of Genius” — a video effort to get taxpayers to e-file — definitely left us with a queasy “What hath YouTube wrought” sensation.

Word from a colleague: “I love how the screen says ifile … and the voice says efile.” But it was the papercut scene, and the digitally-enhanced voiceover, that stole our appetites.

We can’t hate on something we so deeply pity. So hey, MD, here’s some help. (And warm clammy thanks to Jack for molesting us with this audiovisual gem.)
