I just came across this video as I was perusing the google video results for somali pirates. The anchor says some "interesting" things. I like the interruption by the tech guy as a kind of revealing punchline (thinking about the joke in terms of both Virno and Dean).
In our discussions in class about fallacy and taking advantage of the assumptions that people make about a particular topic (in our case the public policy topic we choose), we found that this is where we can slip in the joke, the Unthought, our conceptual persona's stance on the matter - kind of like Dean's expectation/surprise model of the joke.
So the real gem for me in this video is....what would it be like to be hijacked by a personable pirate?
