I don’t really know much about the video appearing here: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H8xzRNRKKE).
One of my research assistants (I would name her, but I forgot to ask if she wanted credit or anonymity) forwarded me the link, along with the explanation that this comes from a show called “Home Movies.” As she explains, it’s “about kids making movies and in one episode they get into a dispute over whether to make a musical version of Kafka’s Metamorphosis or a movie called ‘Louis Louis,’ in which Louis Pasteur meets Louis Braille in Paris.”
The youtube clip demonstrates how they resolved it. I doubt I will ever again teach my Negotiation class without showing it.

hilarious–nice subtle lesson too!
