I’m reading The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman right now. In the first chapter (I’m kinda stuck there right now), he makes mention of the classic video game Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?. In a wave of nostalgia-seeking, I immediately sought to find a copy to play for free online.
I didn’t succeed in that mission, though I did run across an interesting flash animation called Trichinosis:

With allusions to Orwell’s Animal Farm, it provides an interesting counterpoint to consumerism, conspicuous or otherwise.
Who needs to read a depressing issue of AdBusters Magazine when this flash video accomplished the same thing, and links to a New York Times article referencing the former UN president called “Kofi Annan’s Astonishing Facts”?
Now, the only question is, what to do about it?
Is Hillary or Obama or Edwards the answer? Or is it something else?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
