Funny, the first version of this I saw had a hispanic woman. But then again the final word on that version probably needed editing. But I dunno why they re-shot it with a white woman.

They released both versions at the same time ... this is "Side A", the other version is "Side B".

The idea, it seems to me, is that upper middle class and working class families have a lot more in common with each other than they do with each other.

In A Sinking Economy (side b)

From YouTube:

written & directed by Patrick Wilkinson
starring Rosa Esperanza González and Luis Xago Juárez

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Re: 3 part question for ET citizens (none / 0)

Can we make our own "youtube" videos? Is it technically possible?
If yes on 1., when do we start?
Do other blog/Think Tanks already produce/show their own youtubes?

I look forward to seeing ET members on the screen. Future film stars.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
