It can sometimes be a difficult task deciding whether or not to include a particular clip in our weekly Beer O’Clock newsletter (The Best and Worst of Anthill TV).
While the mandate might seem simple — the video needs to be about innovation, invention, creativity and/or entrepreneurship (the values we hold dear) — the selection process actually involves a surprisingly complex number of considerations, such as balance, educational content, local relevance, chuckle-factor and good taste.
That’s why it was pleasing to stumble across this short clip at 4:22 this afternoon. It’s in such good taste, I find myself quite thirsty. Happy Friday Anthillians!
