My (original) hometown newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, has an interesting piece on developing video content for mobile devices.
In short, the “plots” have to be short and funny. How do the writers and content creators do this?
By tapping into the ADD-generations’ shared repository of situational comedy subtext, i.e. “10,000 sitcom plots in the back of [our] heads.”
My interest in visual anthropology starts with the belief that a culture’s visual story-telling language can offer the same sort of anthropological information (meaning, truth, etc.) in the similar way that studying language or kinship will.
As to what the truth and meaning in mobile media content might be, oh shit... I'm going to miss According to Jim.

I've read your second to last paragraph 5 times and I'm still not sure what the heck you are talking about. But I'm glad you are a fan of "According to Jim" (I thought I was alone).
Check my post under "Save until Space is Needed" for a best of sitcom list.
