This video is as moving as it is humbling.
A beautiful insight from a WWII veteran.
Take a look at the comments over at BoingBoing too for some very valid and varied opinions.
The Internet. The greatest enabler perhaps ever known. The ability to acquire and distribute information at a furious and daunting pace has proven to be the downfall of many a business, political candidate, celebrity etc. However, those who seize control have experienced unprecedented success. Capturing the minds of those fluent in Internet language proves to be the primary goal of advertisers for the future.
In May, the International Society of Human Rights (ISHR) released a group of 3 ads which succinctly and adroitly summarize both the fears and triumphs of widespread Internet distribution.
The political implications are clear: target and mock those who seek to suppress the free spread of information. Labeled “To Teach Dictators a Lesson”, the sharp simplicity and wit of the ad depicts perfectly the conflicting opinions of those on both ends of the spectrum. The brilliance of the ad lies in the subtle usage of the imagery of the stifled flow of information.
Subtlety is an art form lost on many advertisers who often go for gross exaggerations in the name of attention grabbing. As depicted in my last blog, such strategies often undercut the intended message. Quite oppositely, the subversive humor of this ad strikes a poignant note.
Delivering a meaningful but catching message to those who can rapidly attain information from a variety of sources proves difficult. However, those who succeed do so in slight-of-hand subtlety rather than slap-you-in-the-face bravado.

Having rapped for well over 8 years, hip hop was and still is a pretty strong part of my life and I’ll probably never get over my taste for it, although regretably, hip hop is seen by many as only a world full of guns, luxury, women treated as sexual objects and an exponentially excesive macho-like attitude.
So in the rap game, if before it was gold, nowadays it’s all about diamonds. Those little carbon polygons practically move the world and it’s virtually impossible to find yourself a rapper without some bling-bling of their own.
However, we only seem to be seeing the prettier side of things. Polished chains, the rings, the grills, the pimp cups, etc. But… Where do the diamonds come from? What processes, what sacrifices are being made in other places so that we can all go blind from the jewels on the latest hot rapper on tv?.
That’s what Bling tries to tell us. A documentary narrating the journey of 5 world-claimed rappers to the place where most diamonds are being extracted: Sierra Leone.
Jadakiss, Tego Calderón, Paul Wall, Raekwon y Kanye West travel to the african country to realize that the price to be paid is even greater than the value of the diamonds.
A raw, real documentary that shows just how ironic things can be in the world some times.
