This is a new breed of advertising where things are made to look like some creative people put it together instead of an advertising company. My son is working on one these tomorrow and he has been instructed to not make it look too good. That way it will end up on You Tube and look like it was done in somebody's back yard.

Posting on Tech Soc for the first time. I just laughed my rear off looking at this video. I grew up just outside of Greenwich, CT in a town very like it, with country clubs and yatching people and vacationers in Nantucket. And of course, I was different as well (I always called those chicks the "sweaters and pearls girls"). Anyway, I think it would be fun to show this video as an example of how the category 'white' is an ethnicity. But it would probably work best in setting that is homogenously white, and the students are privileged, and unaware of themselves as an ethnic category. or as a race, for that matter. So here at BMCC, which is about 10% white, and not privileged in any way, I'm not sure how it would come across. I'm interested to hear others' responses to viewing this video. Sincerely, Elizabeth (Betsy) Wissinger BMCC/CUNY Betsy, do you suppose you could let the rest of us in on where to see the video in question? I'm on a 95+% white campus (working and middle class, though).
