The whole pigture, indeed.
I think my favorite quote was "Wake up and smell the bacon" I loled. I really did.
yes, i liked "wake up and smell the bacon" too.
OMG, I watched this just now and about died at the perfect relevance. The production standards are easily the equal of The Onion, but yeah, the point about how issues are caught in the echo-chamber of the media, how mass opinion is created and manipulated, it's kinda a self-indictment from the Guardian, whose own tallit (prayer-cloth) is not entirely the kosher colour)
Incredible. I cried, tell the truth, and because simply knowing that someone sees the issue so deeply is gratifying... mebbe.
Thanks so much for finding and posting this, Jeff
They obviously photoshopped the pic of the wolf using an asthma inhaler. He blew down those houses. I've heard it from reliable sources. Also,unnamed sources tell me the conflict arose with that brick house. That's where the true story lies.....
@jsolberg - According to the Guardian, "This advert for the Guardian's open journalism, screened for the first time on 29 February 2012, imagines how we might cover the story of the Three Little Pigs in print and online. Follow the story from the paper's front page headline, through a social media discussion and finally to an unexpected conclusion."
@doahsdeer - Well that's nicely self-aware of them. The situation, perhaps more relevant to British tabloids and Fox's 'we don't need no stinkin facts, is out of control; everyone knows that. I find myself humming the Beatles' 'Once there was a way.. to get back homeward.' Oy, nowadays, Farce-Book Angels don't even know in which direction to look.
