It`s hard to classify this video - it`s certainly informative and yet the style of The Pinky show is very endearing.Give it a spin and you`ll see what I mean. Apart from that, this video gives our perceived view of this island of natural beauty a polite kick in the teeth.
As with most things, we take things at face value - the thought of Hawaii conjures up daydreams of grass skirts, palm trees and sunshine. It might give the impression that the islands history is as placid as it`s outward appearance... But it`s status as the 50th state of the U.S isn`t straightforward - in fact it`s pretty dodgy. The island became a part of America by some snake-like manoeuvring, chiefly because of it`s strategic significance of being a halfway post before the newly "found" Far East - where other nations were currently staking claims in that continent...... and America was missing out.
The natives did had something to say about this - but did they get heard? Watch the Pinky Show to find out. I recommend going through all their videos - "Illegal Immigration" is a good one to watch. The matter-of-fact and also inquisitive nature of the characters makes the delivery of information suprisingly effective. Don`t be put off by the "I`m watching a cat on the internet" feeling - this is serious stuff, you will learn something new.
