Dow Chemical: The Human Element

After I learned about the history of Dow Chemical I decided to make a little video in the same style as their current Human Element commercial..

OMGWTFBBQD pplz???

Seriously...?

Yes, Dow Chemical, one of the largest domestic chemical producers in America, developed Agent Orange (a defoliant) and napalm (an antipersonnel) to specifically combat vietcong forces in the Vietnam war (which unfortunately led to massive civilian casualties) and this is a satire on their new "Human Element" commercials.

And also Dow Chemical made Agent Orange (a defoliant) where they purposely left in antipersonnel poison (dioxin) when it was used in Vietnam. These racists thought it was okay to kill Vietnamese... besides the massive child deaths and deformities still occuring today, US vets suffer massive dioxin poisoning... and their children. Dow execs retire in style, US vets & Vietnamese people die without basic medical care... This is INhuman. Dow: the INhuman element

wow, that's powerful... good job.

Dow chemical may pretend that they care but what they really created here was simply a mirage. They try to cover up what they did by fabricating a vision to which stock holders of Dow chemical feel is the true vision of the company when really that vision is of nothing but Greed! Money once again has played its part in destroying life by letting fat cats in high places ignore what has happened in return for a tidy sum to buy that car they'll never drive or that house they'll never use!

soulless murdering corporations..and all for profit. I hope every exec who profited from this atrocity burns in hell.

@Mrsmarthamcgregor

Yes it was an accident. And this accident happens because they were such munny-grubbing stupid assholes who didn't care about the security... And after the 'accident' they don't care about the people and did nothing!

That's one of the worst company... Go to hell dow chemical!!

[prass7]

@DedraMae020 can we say sep11 was an accident

[prass7]

Will DOW give up profit from any company they buy, so heads we win, tails you lose right. Indians are not your iraq, we will fight till our bones with non violence, we will march inside your factories and prevent it from functioning.

Get out of India. We will give business to German chemical companies with better environmental records. DOW the water toxic killers.

[toogoodius]

Yes Dedra, Union Carbide did kill those people. But Dow are 100% owners of UC and are not accepting responsibility for the clean up in Bhopal despite being LEGALLY liable.

There is also a second disaster happening in Bhopal. Highly toxic chemicals, from the UCC factory, have contaminated the drinking water of thousands of people. This has been going on for years and there has never been any attempt to put it right or compensate the people. This is an ongoing problem and IS Dows' responsibilty.

[DedraMae020]

Becasue Union Carbion killed those people!!! Not Dow Justbecasue Dow funded that company doesnt mean its responsible. & Actuly yes dow has accepted responsibility, and is doing alot to help the issue the best they can. Accidents happen. Get your facts straight before you point fingure.
