My experiences living with college students left me with little hope for my generation. I want to scream every time I see some dumbass kid wearing a Che shirt or carrying a chairman Mao tote bag. And its hard not to strangle said kids when they sing the praises of communism (while listening to the I-pod their rich parents bought them). So I'm totally looking forward to this special even though the people who should see it probably won't tune in.

Is this going to be on television? All I saw was a date, nothing more. I would be interested to see this as well, but I am so thankful I don't see the things you do around campus or hear anyone go on about how wonderful things like communism are. (Don't get me wrong, sharing for the greater good is a great idea, but actual communism always seems to end in the leader being corrupt and the system failing.)

This commercial aired during Glenn Beck's Fox News show (Beck is the one producing it). So I assume the special will air in his timeslot (5:00pm California time). But you're right, it wouldn't have killed them to be more clear about the time and channel (especially since they put the commercial on the internet).

It's hard to imagine kids carrying chairman mao tote bags when I spent a good chunk of 7th grade learning the horrors of the chinese cultural revolution -_-' There was also a movie that we saw last year that followed a family in the years prior to and during the cultural revolution and the latter part had a scene that traumatized me. o_O *twitch*

I worry for my generation..... and its worse for me cuz I'm YOUNGER THAN YOU.
