totino's ad campaign

totino's ad campaign
-
okay, there are these commercials on TV about a thing called "totino's pizza rolls." apparently it is a very tiny hot pocket. the gimmick seems to be that kids can prepare this food themselves (not sure how this is any different from every other convenience food). of all the features these cubes have, the commercial focuses on taste as a selling point. obviously, frozen cubes of bleached white flour taste great no matter what.
-
so this kid microwaves a bag of these things, then serves them to his friends in the middle of the night. he warns they must be quiet, i guess to avoid waking his parents. but it turns out the cubes are so delicious his friends are unable to stay quiet. "i love totino's pizza rolls!" screams the first taster.
-
as screams erupt from everyone, the betrayed boy-chef expresses dismay at the punishment which will surely follow. oh, i jest. his parents will probably eat the cubes themselves after they come downstairs, then surely forgive him for the ruckus. they will warm their hands around the microwave and laugh heartily.

i am inspired to help totino's pizza rolls' inspirational project. here are three more totino's commercials submitted for your approval. i should warn you, my girlfriend thinks these are pointless and "not funny at all."

1. a musty funeral parlor, small town USA. old woman lies dead in casket. family stands nearby, many of them weeping. a table has tea and snacks. a suburban-looking american (wearing cargo pants and an abercrombie shirt) picks up one of the snacks and wanders next to the coffin. he chews the food and his eyes get big, as he knocks over the coffin screaming "i love totino's pizza rolls!"
-
2. rural italy, 1966. a group of old men are silent, gathered around a victrola radio, listening to a soccer game. the reception is unclear, but if you listen closely... suddenly the announcer gets louder. their team has a chance to score. the men rise from their seats, focused and silent. just as the announcer's is most excited, the suburban-looking american screams "i love totino's pizza rolls!" the old men did not hear the goal, so they pummel the american with their fists, screaming "baffanculo" as he holds his totino's box and weeps.
-
3. dark attic, berlin, 1942. a gaunt family, dressed in rags, huddles around a lantern. "shh" says the kerchiefed grandmother, pointing down. through cracks in floorboards, they see nazis below, walking through their house. the suburban-looking american quietly puts a square of food into his mouth, chews it, then screams "i love totino's pizza rolls!" gunfire erupts from below until the family lies dead. the suburban-looking american is bleeding a lot. he takes one last bite before dying, and whispers to the camera, "i... love... totino's..."

translation of the Manu Chao song "Me Llaman Calle"

this is about my translation of the Manu Chao song "Me Llaman Calle." [ video below ] i'm reasonably close to a literal translation, with changes to fit the rhythm and number of syllables per line. "baldosa" is like ladrilla (a brick to build a house) except flat like a tile. based on context, i translate it as "cobblestones." Chao also uses "maquinita," literally "little machine," but this implies a small device in english (a machine that does something, but does not move itself - such as a laminating machine, a blood-glucose meter, or an ATM) - so i use "little engine" instead, to imply movement. the one line i'm not happy with is the translation of "no me rebajo"; if i wasn't worried about rhythm, i would translate it as "it doesn't dig ruts into me." the tricky part is that this word, rut, is almost never used as a present-tense transitive verb in english. we generally use it as a noun (...

Refugees in Europe deserve help, but refugees in U.S. deserve to "be sent back"?

--> September 4, 2015 Hillary Clinton on the refugee crisis in Southern Europe:   “Well the pictures, well the stories, we’ve been watching this terrible assault on the Syrian people now for years, are just heartbreaking. I think the entire world has to come together, it should not be just one or two countries, or not just Europe and the United States. We should do our part, as should the Europeans, but this is a broader, global crisis.   We now have um, more refugees than we’ve had, in many years, I think since the second world war. And as we’ve seen tragically, people are literally dying to escape the conflict in Syria. Uh, I think that the, the larger Middle East, I think Asia, I think everybody should step up and say we have to help these people. And I would hope that, under the aegis of the United Nations led by the Security Council, and certainly by the United States which has been such a generous nation in the past, we would begin to try to...

Should we use a capital framework to understand culture? Applying cultural capital to communities of color

The Acceleration of Metaphorical Capital, from my published article. Copyright Kip Austin Hinton. "Social science research on communities of color has long been shaped by theories of social and cultural capital. This article is a hermeneutic reading of metaphorical capital frameworks, including community cultural wealth and funds of knowledge. Financial capital, the basis of these frameworks, is premised on unequal exchange. Money only becomes capital when it is not spent, but is instead invested, manipulated, and exploited. Metaphorical capitals have been criticized as imprecise, falsely quantitative, and inequitable. Some research assumes that, rather than reinforcing economic class, metaphorical capital somehow nullifies class or replaces economic capital. Yet marginalized students, by definition, have been excluded by dominant culture. Compared to low socioeconomic status (SES) students of color, high SES students have a wealth of capital, in all forms. Metaphorical ca...
