DISQUS

I am not so sure. I am pretty sure this is worse.

But it appears to suck in a self-aware, ironic, jaded Gen. X way. Or maybe I just give them too much credit and am projecting my own values onto the video. Maybe they really thought they were being clever or hip.

It's like, being cheesy and being aware you're being cheesy can be comical, but being cheesy and not being aware of it is fatal.

Not that I liked it anyway, just saying....

Yeah, OK, the Connected Ventures video you loved is a much better example of self-parody.

The PA video just sucked. :)

That video is a crime against humanity. What were they thinking?

Ain't technology grand? Thanks to easy video technology, any moron with a camera and a little brain damage can make something this bad. And, thanks to the magic of the web, millions of people who never heard of your organization now have an awful impression of it.

Wally, I should have written "It's less expensive to make a good video instead of one that sucks." The cost to a company's reputation is in full video glory when stuff like this is released.

HR Wench and JT: This one makes me gasp. I cannot imagine what they were doing.

Phillip, that's an interesting perspective. You get at the heart of irony and authenticity. If you're going to be ironic, you'd better know it.

Frank,

You've struck giggle gold again! You have a knack for this!

Thanks, Michelle. I've had to watch this one several times because it's so nuts. LOL. It's G-Hog Day for me.

This video makes no sense, and is so inappropriate if you are trying to recruit healthcare workers. Hospitals are not a place to have fun.
