This comes to me by way of a Young Democrat friend of mine, Ian Magruder at UC Berkeley.
Steve Poizner, 2007:
Popular YouTube video:
Now, I’m not sure when the video was posted–the poster clarifies that she is not the author. It could also be that Steve Poizner is basing what he’s saying off of the source of the “original research” mentioned. But, to get the full effect, watch the video, then watch Steve Poizner’s speech. Same deal, except without the “right here, right now” increasing your heart rate.
that video is actually the 3rd version of a presentation done a while back. Already the one here is outdated – Myspace no longer has 200 million members, and so on.
What’s annoying about Mr. Alpha Male In Dockers is that he represents himself as being really smart, and in this case that he did all the research here himself, which he did not.
I’ve actually shown the video in some seminars I’ve participated in as a fun way to get a conversation started, but I always make sure to post the source of the original study AND that of the people who did the groovy animation. Do you think Stevie did? Naw.
