Fooling With the Amish

Fooling With the Amish. Remember Amish Mafia? That weird, a bit offensive, almost believable, utterly entertaining Discovery Channel reality TV show about a gang of Amish racketeers in and around Lancaster? The show is a thing of the past now, but in its heyday, it revealed quite a few interesting facts about real Amish, as well as fake ones, about the so-called reality of reality TV, and above all about us (at least those of us who enjoy a reality TV show now and again). In this talk, media scholar and F&M professor Dirk Eitzen will present some of those findings. Donations are appreciated!
