Whew! Finals are on the horizon. One of the things I dislike about the end of the semester is the number of projects and papers I'm required to complete. However, though some have been gotten through with clenched teeth, others have been a pleasure.
One such pleasurable project was for my Spanish 102 class. We were divided into groups and required to perform/film a commercial. Our group of 5 decided to spoof some ads for the LAC Fair. With a little twisting and tweaking here and there, we concocted a "preview" for an all new (we made it up) Reality TV Show: "BLEACHED" You guessed it, the theme is blondes--of the dumb variety.
Now I do want to add a disclaimer: While we were filming one of the scenes, I was just trying to read the script and push through my lines, so I didn't pay much attention to what I was supposed to actually be saying. Well, I discovered later that one of the lines that I repeat [a lot] means "oh my G _ _" which I was not very happy about, but it was too late to go back and re-film that scene. So, there is one vignette in which I am swearing in Spanish. Please understand that it was done unknowingly on my part, and I would have re-filmed it if I could.
(You may want to pause the music at the bottom of the page before you play the video.)
So, without further ado. . .BLEACHED
Addendum:
I meant to link to English clips that we based our film on. Check out the original Library, Blondestar, Shopping, and Farm clips. In addition, we did do a Cotton Candy scene that didn't make the final cut, but did make it to the bloopers.
