Saying more by saying less

I love this post by Slant Six Creative - it addresses the challenges digital media has brought forth to conversation:

"Modern communication has meant a breakdown in authority. Online comment systems and, more broadly, “social media” have given every individual an opportunity to not only have his or her voice heard instantly, but to have it given near-equal weight to that of the original author."

Their recommendation - let the fool have the last word.

More phenomena of viral media - the latest buzz is not a video - but a video about the reaction of watching a video. So disturbing is the movie, that people's reactions are inevitably overblown, dramatic - and well, hilarious. There's a ton on YouTube - Eddy showed me this one which is a great example.

I'm starting to think that the people who made the initial video, made a reaction video just to get people to go see the other video. Eddy and Brad explained to me the content-- seems like it's The Ring for believing we live in a civilized society. Think George Carlin's version of The Aristocrats.
