I would just like to say for everyone who watches this video I did it for a class project. I spent zero dollars on it and you need to not take the video so seriously. Chill out and relax if you don't like what its about

[Pleonastikosis]

The presentation is not only sensationalistic, it is also muddled and oppressively unpersuasive. The images cannot simply be juxtaposed and displayed while the music cloyingly plays. What is the specific intent? Is it to horrify; is it argue a point: is it to engender disgust (if so, against whom and for what purpose)?; or, is it simply to sentimentalize and privilege certain concepts over others? As I watch the video, I am struck by the fact that Tricky589 might have better used the money...

[Tricky589]

@Pleonastikosis I did this as a project for a grade. I'm not like trying to fight for anything or any organization. Also, it took me 0 dollars to make. So there was no money to better use. Don't things so serious its youtube

It is sad that people dont realize that their are others who dont have anything at all. Most people take what they have for granted! Would it hurt anyone to give a little here and there to help someone else? Thank you for sharing this video. I hope that it will help open peoples eyes if not everyone then at least some. Just think people it could be you. Would you want people to ignore you? Do the right thing and dont let people suffer if you can help.

@moshady8008 wow....... how the hell is this person a communist? this video is to get people thinking about how we waste so much while others in the world are suffering. communism has nothing to do with this. your statement makes no sense what so ever

[dirtypimpbird]

You did this for a grade. I hope got an F. if this is critical thinking, then your my is not a whore.

[generouspeasant]

Stop shagging and stop this.

There will always be poverty, ignorance, greed, and corruption until we abolish the monetary system. Are you truly a critical thinker? If so, watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward and then Zeitgeist Addendum, both on youtube. Watch from start to finish, pay attention, and use your brain. They are long but worth every minute. Get outside the box and learn and grow.

wasn't there a study that said if you were to look at images of over weight people you were more likely to put on weight

[Amesn1]

Shows the extremes of both sides, obesity and starvation. Gives a general idea of why things are that way and lets you make your own conclusion. Scary photos, which is why people are flipping out about the minutia.

[Amesn1]

I get it.

[selvmordspilot]

@qusarah : wow, so provocative. And the bravery to pretend not to care - if only the rest of the world would do the same, maybe this would all continue forever.

[selvmordspilot]

@reddracoqueen : unless the purpose of the video wasn't to give you the answers, but simply pose the question. Believe it or not, there are actually people out there who are oblivious to the consequences of poverty.

[selvmordspilot]

@glitchnoise : you should be ashamed of yourself.

[airste172]

Positive proof that oppressive third world governments have succeeded in stamping out the dreaded problem of obesity. ;)
