b).How would you rate the video?

Bus Uncle is obviously not a video produced by high technology. It's just a clip shot by a 21-year-old accountant and part-time psychology student named Jon Fong Wing Han's camera phone.So I think the aesthetic values are not so good.Anyway,this shot video is certainly humorous and entertaining.what's more,the funny and real argument between the old man nicknamed the Bus uncle and the young passenger raised people to think about the social problem in Hong Kong.The impressive phrases You have pressure!I have pressure!It's not settled! suddenly became popular around Hong Kong.They are are now frequently used, mimicked, and parodied in Hong Kong, particularly by teenagers.

Why are these phrases so popular? Lee Sing, director of the Hong Kong Mood Disorders Centre warned that Hong Kong's high-stress working environments are spawning a city-full of "Bus Uncles".On the other hand, Ho Kwok Leung, an applied social science lecturer, held that attention surrounding the video reflected the boring lives of Hong Kong people.Furthermore, the incident highlighted the apathy of the common Hong Kong people.

c).Do you think deserved the attention that it received from the internet community?

Of course,the clip deserves the attention from the internet community. It's a window for people to see the problem that  we have to face everyday.The clip costs less materials, but it makes big effects on popular culture.
