Brown Bag Films: "Racism"

Animators at Dublin's Brown Bag Films have created a satirical infomercial that speaks to some of the prejudices festering in Irish society. From Brown Bag's website:

"Join Tina and Scott as they introduce the latest product to hit the Irish market.... Racism! Made in the style of an animated 'infomercial', Racism is a satirical examination of racist attitudes which sadly, have crept their way into Irish society."

This is a very clever short film (under 3 min in length) and worth watching. Click here for the page on Brown Bag's site where you can watch "Racism".
