Dear Google:

I hate China. If you come to Troy, I, and many RPI students, will blindly join your army for the war against them. I, particularly, as a writer for the shameless campus literary magazine, will be very useful to you as a propagandist. Watch: China is a bunch of communists. Easy!

By far the best marketing video I've seen for the cause yet! Other cities have not focused nearly as much on the 'why' and significance. Good luck!!!
