@WotC's Andy Collins: The Future of Publishing

[jaerdaph]

I saw this video linked over at LPJ Design's blog, and after reading your interview at The Escapist, I thought you might be interested to see how some of today's youth feel:

I thought it was quite clever, and some food for thought.

Huh. That's actually pretty cool. Good find Jaerdaph!

Jinkies, indeed.

This one (below) is from a few years back... I'm guessing that one is based on it...

Thank Louis Porter - and DK for creating it.

I'm just a messenger.

YouTube - Lost Generation

and that one, in turn was based on an older Argentinian political ad (linked to in the Lost Generation video) description, don't want to run afoul of the no politics rule.

It's a neat trick, although by the third one all the "it's not true that" phrases start to jump out as more obvious linguistic tricks.

It's a good message, either way. It's easy to think kids these days just aren't the same as my generation and just don't understand. But when you flip it around, kids these days aren't the same, and that's pretty awesome. They are doing amazingly creative things and interacting with more people and farther across the globe than my generation ever thought possible.

It's far too common of a trap to view the younger generations as messing everything up. But I just try to keep in mind that my mom had to be sneaky to listen to the Beatles because my grandpa thought that any boys with hair that long are a bad influence. (And this was in their early suit-wearing, pre-psychedelic days! Those shaggy bowl cuts were just too offensive.)
