[bluexepnos]

Have you thought of a satirical look at purity rings?

[AnomalousVikingNinja]

Grats on taht.

[upabittoolate]

this is brilliant

[TheCanadianPrairies]

This is an interesting satire. It shows how most people just choose to ignore the suffering of the world rather than care about it.

Lame attempt from Christian fundamentalists

When America stops genocide, organized rape, brutal dictators, kills most of the terrorists, protects America and brings democracy to a backwards country like Iraq it makes Bush a bad president?

US military intervention in Darfur would be the same thing, except it has no power to make America safer, hence no real justification to invade.

The US military exists to keep the USA safe, not Africa. The only thing that would help there is mass sterilization.

i agree with you guys wholeheartedly; while people are dying these stupid fucks do exactly what you are talking bout.

fucked up world

This is a great video. I ran into yours by posting mine about Bono's ONE bracelet being forced onto statues across the world.

Shouldn't this be called the Anti-Genocide Wristband ? 5 stars.

[cynicallytested]

Well we're going for the sarcastic factor that people don't actually take action to stop them - so it ends up being a genocide wristband no matter what

[Heraldblog]

Sound sucks. Lavalier mics work great.

Being an obedient American, I'll do as you ask.

I love it. I remember sitting in an Anthropology class when students decided to sell some of those poverty bracelet things. When I refused to buy one, saying that I didn't feel the need as I was a member of an on campus human rights group that was actually doing something tangible, I was admonished not only by the class but the prof. Lovely video.

Thanks for the comment we appreciate it. In Toronto you can go into stores and buy knockoff livestrong bracelets - apparently people will bootleg anything

[cynicallytested]

For everyone coming from the Jesus General blog to check out the video be sure to comment.

Thanks!
