Yup, CliffNotes "is now producing brief internet videos of its famous crib notes which will be shown initially on AOL, since 'everything in today’s world seems to be headed towards speedier and shorter ways to get information'." The clips will be “humorous" and “irreverent,” which I'm sure is desgined to engage today's disengaged students.
In the interest of trying to be concise and not bore any readers, all I will say in response is, "Arghhhh!".

Not surprising. I have many students who do not have the reading ability to cope with CliffNotes.
