Ethics from Across the Pond

     In Middle School I was one of the cool kids because I made movies for all of my class projects.  Back then, in the early aughts, filming your version of Macbeth automatically put you a couple of grade points above the simple fools that performed theirs in front of the class.  I was seriously, the coolest seventh-grader ever.

     Well, today I bring the sad news that the once exclusive class of overachieving folks has suffered an invasion from flip-cam wielding, YouTube-uploaders who all seem eager to fling their academic efforts into the nether-sphere without consideration for style, editing, accurate content, shame, or in the case of our London-lovers, political correctness.


     If this is really only a part of the video they made for class, I'd really love to see the rest of it.  It's sure to be filled with gems.

     Also, needless comment about the egregious misspelling of "our"?  Seriously, aren't you young folks going to show this to your teacher?  Even if they only teach "Philoshpy and ethics" I'm sure they'd like to keep just a little faith in the educational system.
