Deconstructing corporate media's assault on the American workforce

http://medialiteracyproject.org/deconstructions/qwest-becoming-centurylink

Is this commercial an example of corporate media's attack on the American workforce? How?

In my personal opinion I do not fully agree with the idea that it is an attack on the American workforce. I can vaguely entertain the idea that the slinkies are perhaps making light of the workforce in general, by saying we are enjoying going to work instead of dreading our everyday jobs. I can also see in the oriental scene with the slinkies going down the stairs and the oriental woman walking up the stairs, might mean America is declining compared to other nations. My true beliefs in this commercial however do not elude to either of these statements, I think the commercials is simply a fun and entertaining way to introduce their merger.

  1. Did you read the text deconstruction? The commercial itself is not an attack. Does it mask the attack?
