“The Story of Stuff” is a whimsical cartoon about the perils of our consumption-driven society that is apparently very popular in America's schools. I like adorable Communist propaganda as much as the next person, but this strikes me as pretty radical for school. But I guess kids get the “capitalism is good” viewpoint, you know, all the time, so it can't hurt to hear a counterpoint. (Note: this is just a teaser for the 20-minute cartoon.)
