Jean and I just saw an ad for this when lunching at Chipotle on a road trip last weekend. She thought it was a joke; I thought that it would be a serious anti-factory farming video. I guess now I'll have to look at the trailer....

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Or to be skeptical because it comes from Fast Food Nation, even the relatively benign Chipotle.

I'd call it vaguely humorous. I suppose that they're trying to leaven their anti-agribusiness message with humor, but it only partially succeeds for me. My sense of humor, though, is so far out of the American mainstream as to be irrelevant to the discussion.
