Sky Gypsies coffee commercial.

An explanation of the non-fair trade coffee commercial.

The question raised about the purpose of the non-fair trade coffee commercial deserves an answer. The commercial deals with the consumer culture in which we live. The massive consumption of goods by our culture is juxtaposed with the reality of life for many people. Much of the world lives and works at a lower technological level while our society consumes much of the worlds output. The creation of technology and other advances which lead to better lives for people ultimately lies with the creation and sale of goods. But the ability to create durable goods that people can afford is being lost.

The opening scene with a young couple drinking coffee shows the status quo in this country. Next to the seated women is an ivory Fu dog. While a traditional symbol of protection an ivory statue is also indicative of this cultures status as conspicuous consumers since few can afford a 5 foot ivory Fu dog.

Compare this scene with notion the non-fair trade coffee brand is promoting, the idea that the best coffee is hand ground and that non-fair trade workers spend their time grinding coffee by hand with Manos and Metates, in other words grinding coffee with 2 rocks. The labor of workers at the lowest level is used to support the highest levels without compensation that allows advancement and the non-fair trade brand uses that idea as a mechanism to sell its coffee.




Perhaps youve had a cup of the Sky Gypsies non-fair trade coffee, Its served exclusively at the Sky Gypsies coffee shop. Its warm rich aroma comes from the finest beans and since all the coffee is picked, roasted, and ground by hand, you are assured of that special cup of coffee. It is the perfect way to start a morning of flying. Hand grinding is the secret to a great cup of coffee. No sharp metal blades or burrs for our coffee beans, nothing to bruise or burn a single bean so you dont miss any of that great flavor. Our beans are ground using traditional 1000 year old methods by our non fair trade workers ensuring full employment for the whole family. So whether it is a morning of flying or when you want that special cup of coffee with a little something extra, remember Sky Gypsies non-fair trade coffee. Its the mano and matate that make the difference.

  • The world economy is failing along with the economy of this country. The loss of currency value effects everyone. The only employment opportunities that are available are low paying and manual labor. If you are lucky enough to be employed your job is probably at risk. Ideas and insight into the functioning of the global economy will require new approaches, otherwise we will all be grinding coffee by hand in metates that are dug up from a past culture.
