This cartoon, perhaps unintentionally, addresses a disadvantage of sprawl that is not typically mentioned in most articles about it. Modern society's obsession with separating things has created an enormous chasm between those in the urban environment and those in the suburbs. This separation shackles its victims on either side with unique identities; those in the city identify with the city and those in suburbia identify with their McMansions. In a natural situation, unique identities mean unique cultures and a healthy diversity, but the identities created by sprawl are unnatural. Instead of creating pride and color, the irritated seperation of people who are not so far apart causes an anxiety and resentment.

As is shown in the video, the city is represented as a place of danger to those suburbians who dare wander into it. I myself experienced this in my transition from the cookie cutter neighborhood of my home to the "dangerous" avenues of the city. Before I even arrived at Tech, my head was filled with terrifying stories and ominous warnings. On the other side, the video shows the hatred or mockery that those in the urban environment show toward their suburban neighbors. The representation of the suburban people in the cartoon is the "hiphopsterus imposterus," a weak, spoiled wannabe.

On a much higher, and possibly more presumptuous level, this video and the separation in general reveals a much deeper tension. Although, it is somewhat artificial, there is a certain status that is maintained by those who own McMansions. This pseudostatus is not bestowed upon those who reside in the city and is the cause of some of the resentment shown in this video. It creates a sort of class tension. Despite the fact that this claim to wealth is more often than not an illusion, the suburban people are marked as upper class and those in the city as a lower one. But the tensions go even deeper.

Racial tension is formed as a result of the distance between these two kinds of developments and this creates a much more serious problem. As is the case in Atlanta, suburbs are mostly populated by whites while the city is dominated by african americans. As a result, neither neighbor, despite their relative closeness feels as if they can identify with one another and in a south where racial differences are already boiling, the sprawl fed sun of injected diversity is an unwelcome guest.
