Never mind last night’s post, sometimes friends send links to things you’re glad to click on. This landed in my mailbox this morning from Uncle Merlin who for some reason feels intense pressure to join what he calls the Keurig Cult. I can’t help suspecting a lot of that pressure’s coming from within and he’s really trying to resist the temptation to buy a Keurig coffee machine for his shop. Whatever’s the case, I think he sees this video as science fiction in the sense that the original The Day the Earth Stood is science fiction.
What I want to know is who made this and if it’s what it looks like, a student film major’s project, because if it is, there’s somebody or some somebodies who deserve A+’s across the board.
It’s almost never a good idea to read the comments on any video on YouTube and I don’t recommend you read the ones on this one, unless you want to be depressed by the number of people in the world who have absolutely no sense of humor.
There are also appears to be a lot of people who haven’t seen even the trailer for Cloverfield.
I don't know; that looks like it has a pretty big budget behind it. Do art majors get big budgets?

Based on the video description, it looks like this was made by a company that makes recyclable coffee pods. They have a relationship with a number of Keurig's competitors but not Keurig, who still only makes pods which can't be recycled.

I don't know about the short movie, but I do know that I'll never buy a Keurig. Why get a fancy machine to take up counter space so it can do the same job that a $5 brew basket and a tea kettle can do?

I am not , and never was considering but the "K". Lance tried several years ago to drag me kicking and screaming into the "cult". Without ANY success I might add.
I even walk my dog under the Keurig Capital Building, - it glows an intense blue by the way- nothing natural there !!
K be dammed get down the Chemex immediately !!
