"It's my special time of the month and I have such a high volume!" Student Presentation on Maxi Pads and Tampons

Today was the last of my finals so I'm done with work for the next week or two.  As I previously explained, my students' final project was to pick a company to represent, then choose a couple new media/social network/blogging websites, and figure out how that company should utilized those sites to promote their products, connect with customers, etc.  The sites they could choose from were Last.FM, Flickr, Twitter, Vimeo, Delicious, and Posterous.

This group had one of the most entertaining presentations, partly because Richard (the guy in the video) is the only guy in the class of 22 students and the girls in his group choose to represent a company that makes feminine hygiene products.  In this video, Richard shows the class how tampons and maxi pads work.

His point was that to do a demo like this over and over again in many different places would cost the company money, so why not just make a video of it and put it on Posterous?  A good idea, indeed.

The other members of the group had some hilarious lines in the presentation:  at one point someone said tampons were "for indoor use" and soon after I stopped taking video on my phone Sally (the girl in the video) said "It's my special time of the month and I have such a high volume!"  Hilarious.  This group will definitely get a good grade.

Sorry about the quality of the video, its from my phone, you get the idea though.
