This Farm Does Not Want You

While a lot of people have been talking about Kenneth Goldsmith's upcoming class, "Wasting Time on the Internet," no one is angrier than the owners of Highland Hill Farms in Fountainville, PA. If you are one of the hundreds who apply to their tree farm with a Penn degree they will demand your transcript! If you have taken this class "and have been trained in how to waste time" they will not hire you! According to their banner: "U Penn Graduates Need Not Apply." Cue collective gasp of despair. 

We know this might be a bold statement, but this is the biggest mindfuck of a video we have ever seen. If you have any spare time whatsoever, please watch from start to finish. After issuing its warning, the video then goes on to describe the different tree-related-neighbor-hating needs the farm fills. If it pauses for a few seconds, don't worry it isn't froze, just keep watching. And if you take ENGL 111-301 next semester, this better be a part of your final project.
