The Story of Stuff

[Fnord]

Have you seen the Story of Stuff (http://www.storyofstuff.com/index.html) 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 (http://www.storyofstuff.com/pdfs/annie_leonard_footnoted_script.pdf) 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."
