This “Power League of Printing” video was produced by the Printing Industries of America to attract young people to the trade. They also have a *cough* Myspace acount.

…Clearly these folks are in serious trouble.

    “Etiquite Award”

    I usually wear tank-tops and go tanning before I work at my local print shop, too.

    I do not have the attention span, however, to watch a 7 minute and 2 second commercial. I don’t think anyone does.

    After watching this video, yes all 7 minutes and 2 seconds, it embarrasses me. I have been involved in commercial printing field over 30 years and I cannot believe ANYONE would think this would empowered anyone to start a career in the commercial printing field. Maybe they thought this would go viral. Well, viral can be bad and good and this is definitely BAD.
