I was offered this example of a "productive fake documentary on YouTube" by a friend, student, or colleague who responded when I crowdsourced my
FakeTube Project via social networks. I later blogged,
spoke, and
published on it (and other videos) as promised.
What is
Prop 8? "The clause 'Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California' is officially a part of the California state constitution (as of November 5, 2008).

Culture jamming "sticks where rational discourse slides off. It is, simply, the viral introduction of radical ideas. It is viral in that it uses the enemy's own resources to replicate itself—corporate logos, marketing psychology, clean typography, 'adspeak.' It is radical because—ideally—the message, once deciphered, causes damage to blind belief."

Falling in Love ... With Chris and Greg is a situation comedy about a gay odd couple, one liberal, one radical; one transgendered, one not. They don't have a whole lot in common, but somehow they manage.
