Is This the Future of Video News?

Dateline: Attention Deficit Spending

I've been bogged down in other, "serious" projects and then I realized that serious is not the way to go.  Blame the video below if you need to. This one needs to go viral, even if it spells the end of serious journalism. Is The Nation the next domino to fall?



It's actually fairly clever, especially when one considers how lame these XtraNormal videos can be. Sometimes lameness can be used to advantage, plus they are fairly easy to make, assuming you have a script in your head.

Do I smell a trend?

Can anyone force a meme?

I know you really can't expect to, and definitely not from a blog that almost nobody reads, but I so want to see this one become more popular than lolcats, at least at the moment. Maybe the "feral shoes" tag will catch on, though?

I don't think there's really much more I can say about this, other than go out there and shoot some "feral shoes" or "feral boots."
