I was browsing through a bunch of the videos on Lori’s website and found a few that interested me. The first video which I found that caught my attention was the,

“8 Changes of Obama” Video: http://theresident.net/seyret/political-videos-and-environmental-issues/8-changes-since-obama-s-coming

The reason why I picked out this video was because I thought the title was kind of funny. As I watch the video I learn that Lori is basically telling it how it is. With all the negative media—in radio, television, magazines and newspapers—Barrack Obama is already been given a bad name, even though he hasn’t been elected into office yet. I really liked how she used humour to get a very serious point across. I thought that she got her point across and it made very clear at the end when she says,

“So to all your nay sayers in the media,

Who are already trying to rip Obama to shreds before he gets to office,

I have this to say....

I’ve already seen the change he’s promised.

Maybe you should start looking for some too.”

I thought that by her saying this at the end it really showed her view on the big Obama craze that’s pretty much gone worldwide.

As I continued to browse through the website I found another video that really interested me because I could relate to it.

“No More Prejudice”: http://theresident.net/all-videos/social-commentary/no-more-prejudice

I thought that this video was really good because it talks about something a person of any age can relate to. This video made me think about some of the stereotypes and prejudice comments I tend to make about people daily. As I read some of the comments I noticed that some people like me have been considered “ageist” and the biggest example of that is riding on a bus. If you give up your seat for a person older then you; you are considered ageist. If you don't give up your seat to some one older then you; you are still considered ageist! That is something that I'm faced with almost every day that I ride the TTC. I really like how at the end she left it open for people to share their personal experiences with Prejudice.
