As well as being very funny and a good commentary on the themes behind the original, I think it’s interesting that this version of the video has now been anchored to a particular physical geography. It’s also, I think, a good example of how words can be potentially exclusionary (with no negative connotations of the word intended).

Would our fellow MOOC-ers from, say, Colombia, get this? Does this version now belong to only a certain set of people? And if so, is that a bad thing? Or, is it just different?
