The US presidential elections may finally spark the American revolution the rest of the world has been waiting for.

Here’s a nice segue into the weekend: a giddy new spot from 72andSunny for the Discovery Channel. From the press release: “ ‘I Love the World’ features some of Discovery Channel’s signature talent, including Dirty Jobs’ Mike Rowe, Man vs. Wild’s Bear Grylls and MythBusters’ Jamie Hyneman, as well as some regular people from around the world, singing along to the campfire classic ‘I Love the Mountains.’ Stephen Hawking even makes a cameo!” It also has the upbeat tagline of the year: “The world is just awesome.”

I stumbled across this short clip and found it interesting – if nothing else than from a media perspective. Often, social messages are relegated to the :30 psa via tv or radio, and more critical messages generally require multi-stage campaigns covering the gamut of media. I’m not saying multi-level social messaging/public service campaigns aren’t effective, but it’s refreshing — and an interesting reminder — to see something done like this:

The post-it note campaign was launched by a Dutch group Vandaler Mod Vold (Vandals Against Violence) in response to recent incidents of violence in Copenhagen. The post-it notes placed throughout the city carry handwritten messages along the lines of “only the weak resort to violence.”
