Cheesecake Manners.

Yes, I have created a new video for my site on table manners. The only question is whether the video itself is in good taste. It is called Cheesecake Manners. I tried to inject some humor into it in order to create some viral interest in manners. To do this, I had to run a bit counter to good manners. However, I think the video makes the point, however subtle, that what good manners are all about is being kind and considerate to your fellow human beings.

I created a squidoo page on Cheesecake Manners. I also put the full text of the actual cheesecake manners note on my Table Manners website.

I, of course, think that manners are important and that they are not exercised as proficiently as they were years ago. I think manners on the internet, with its ability to be anonymous, has fostered some of this. However, I think the internet is bringing out personalities more with the advent of video and a lot of the social websites that are out there that will make hiding behind an alias more difficult and thus make people a bit more responsible for their actions.
