I use these videos and some from the Cyberbullying Prevention campaign to teach my high school students to be smarter about what they post online.

It's not just the custodian that gets the unfair treatment ... it's every single male in the commercial. All males in the clip are portrayed as perverts or pedophiles, sometimes mixing this with psychotic or violent behaviour. Put this clip side-by-side this one from the 50's (Boys Beware - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5VNe9NTOxA ). In the Boys Beware clip, the creators portray Gay men as diseased, psychotic, forceful pedophiles. While the second the clip is much more direct in its message, both videos need to be analyzed and critiqued for their assumptions. Of course, this should go for all forms of media.

We're in the first year of a 1:1 initiative at the high school level. I saw your Twitter post and have always found your blog resourceful.
