Video Response: January 11, 2012

The overt message in the video is that oil is extremely important in our society and without it, will we not have many of the things we have. Another overt message was that competition is good within a society. The covert message of the video is that because American's have oil and competition they are happier than other places that don't have oil or competition. This video is propaganda because it uses the bandwagon technique to get the aliens on Mars to start using oil because it is presented as all the American's are doing it , so you should too.
