The Story of Stuff

[Fnord]

Have you seen the Story of Stuff video?

IMHO: It is essentially Materials Processing Management 101 - an elementary presentation on the impacts of our consumer culture, dumbed down into a 20 minute presentation with the usual emotional appeals involved as sales "hooks."

There is an Annotated Transcript available for download, as well as bios and other information on the site.

Comments?

Oh, yeah! G. Carlin's "Stuff" routine is a real hoot! It's routines like this that have led me to coin the phrase "Any sufficiently intelligent satirist is indistinguishable from a philosopher."
