If you aren't familiar with GenPets, take a look at: http://www.genpets.com/index.php http://www.genpets.com/features.php http://www.genpets.com/catalogue.php
Even better, give your class an assignment requiring them to examine the website and (1) provide a description of the website and what is its apparent goals are, and (2) would anyone be interested in joining the GenPet's reseller program (the manual for the program is available at the 3rd URL above; page 16 provides a detailed description of the "product"). If they still didn't get it, one could direct the student to the following: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/4198/ (however, read the comment section to see how much work is still needed to be done in order to get some people to have even some semblance of critical analytic ability). Those Canadians are sure crafty folks! ;-) -Mike Palij New York University [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english
