Oooh, thanks for sharing that. Love the ending. Reminds me of Dr. Seuss somehow.

I’ll have to see if my indie video store has that!

Sounds like me. I’m fascinated by marketing at the same time I despise it. Although as Seth Godin points out sometimes, such as with non-profits, it can be used effectively to get a message out & create awareness. I’m reminded of a line from a odd movie called Yes, “… A load of greed and a life spent longing for things you don’t need.”

btw … The movie is odd partly because it’s all a poem. All the narrative is verse. And this is how it ends:

…There’s no such thing as nothing, not at all.
It may be really very, very small
But it’s still there. In fact I think I’d guess
That “no” does not exist. There’s only “yes”.

I think Mhairi did a much better job of covering Chris’s presentation than I did.

She won’t be taking the prize for world’s longest grammatically correct and perfectly punctuated sentence away from *me* anytime soon though.
