Flipper Nation

When the dot-com bubble burst back in 2000, we saw a few satirical looks at the whole ordeal, pointing out how preposterous it was that people thought they could sustain such an inflated stock market. Six years later, many believe we are poised to witness a bubble burst with the real estate market. Flipper Nation is a new online mockumentary that utilizes the power of viral video and a format similar to that of ‘The Office’ and ‘Best in Show’ to satirize the house ‘flipping’ craze that has engulfed the U.S. in the past few years. More than mocking the house flipping craze (which I find to be quite funny), Flipper Nation impresses me with how it is utilizing viral video strategies to reach out to large audiences– a trend the we’ll see a lot more of in the near future.
