You may be right about the Media Snacker generation, but if the message speaks to the young adults I know, they’ll watch anything for hours on end.

I saw it, but I did not hear it. It was on the laptop of the woman next to me on a flight, and I was spared the audio track.

As a former teevee news weasel, I recognized most of the pretty dissolves and editing wizardry that are usually associated with eliciting emotional response — tricks typically employed when one has no facts or video of substance to substantiate the point being proffered.

But let’s get back to that languid editing for a moment. Maybe the “kids” don’t get “The Secret” because it is packaged in a format that doesn’t speak to them. Maybe if the people behind “The Secret” distilled their message in a series of shorter, choppier, edgier videos — or some other consumable format for the Media Snacker generation.

Just a thought — it might not be the substance they are rejecting, so much as the style. (Personally, I’m repulsed by both.)

Cheers!
