The Evan Video

At The Loftus Party, I deconstructed the viral Evan video:

We need to talk about the Evan video. It’s gone viral, so it’ll be relevant for about five minutes; referenced by pundits for another five days; and watched by your elderly parents in five weeks, who will ask you if you’ve seen that Ethan video on the YouTube. Despite that we’re on the tail end of Evan’s relevance cycle, we should still discuss it. The video raises important issues, but not in the way the producers think. Take a look at it and come back. I’ll wait.

Click on over, watch the video, and read the piece. You’ll be smarter for it, I promise!
