Alternative Media - A powerful form of communication

We've seen how alternative media has worked to help people stand up for their rights in Egypt and other countries. Egypt shut down the internet and people were still able to get tweets and other communications from family and friends in the United States and elsewhere.
The magnitude of that uprising and the one we are having here in Wisconsin, as well as, Ohio is not as large, but still prominent on our social landscape.
In a recent video assigned in class "Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the American Dream" we see the actor instrumental in portraying a family that is essentially American with a Spanish flavor. Lopez demonstrates that we all go through universal struggles despite the color we are. Actors like Bill Dano, with his contrived accent did nothing to elevate the new immigrants; in fact it perpetuated myths of a culture that is far rich and interesting than the one-dimensional character Dano played. Reaching this rich and vibrant culture has been neglected by our mainstream advertising and such. Let's see more real life advertising that speaks to everyone and not just a select few.
