Missed Connections




Well as Valentines Day approaches us there will be many desperate attempts to find "true love". And there will be those who will just be looking for just a date for the day.
Many people find themselves going that extra step to find the person that they belong with or think they belong with. In this case true love seems to fall right into our main characters lap (At least that's what she thinks). For some odd reason she falls madly in love with this guy who has no interest in her at all. (I personally believe the dog was more interested than he was). She expresses her love for him throughout the video the same way many others would but in a more comical way.
It shows how so many desperately try to grasp on to everything as a sign of true love when in actuality it's really nothing. I don't think this video was meant to ruffle any one's feathers or hurt feelings but to open peoples eye's a little about the facts of how "love/lust" could actually be.
I believe this video was made to maybe cheer up those "hopeless romantics" as Valentines day approaches us. Also, it could be a wake up call for many who may be in the same situation as this young lady, hopefully this video catches their attention. But i think this video makes sense and really could brighten someones day.

  1. The argument seems to be that this video can open people's eyes to the craziness of Valentine's Day and the effect that it has on people, but it is presented in a funny way that is worth watching. Your analysis of why someone would be compelled to watch this is good--to cheer people up, wake up call, etc. You could talk more about why they chose a YouTube video as the way of expressing their argument/emotions/whatever to this person instead of any other way of communicating. Why would this girl want the whole world to see this? How is it helping her make her point?
