Cholera for Sale in New York! (Dirty Water Vending Machine)

What if someone bottled the water that millions in developing countries drink every day and offered it on the streets of New York?

For just a buck, during World Water Week (March 22-29), New Yorkers in the Union Square Park area were able to enjoy the benefits of DIRTY WATER. It was available in a wide variety of choices like MALARIA, CHOLERA or even TYPHOID DIRTY WATER -- and currently has 900 million consumers. Over 4,200 children die of water related diseases every day and millions of people around the world lack access to clean water resources.

New Yorkers were startled to find YELLOW FEVER or HEPATITIS DIRTY WATER bottles. They looked at the vending machine in disgust. Though no one drank Dirty Water,many did donate to the cause. This idea of "selling" dirty water was inspired by UNICEF's promise that every dollar donated would provide safe drinking water to 40 children for a day.

This eye-opening DIRTY WATER initiative from Casanova Pendrill New York, goes beyond collecting funds for UNICEF in a unique active street effort. The goal was to shock the media and the public with this alarming issue.

The campaign is currently active since people can continue donating online at tapproject.org or via text message. Text TAP or AGUA to UNICEF (864233) to make a $5 donation.

This effort is part of a much bigger pro-bono Spanish/English campaign that Casanova Pendrill executed within UNICEF´s Tapproject.org. This is first time the campaign expands to Multicultural. Casanova has managed to secure half a million dollars in donated media and developed TV spots, Radio, Outdoor, web banners and outdoor events.

"Dirty Water© is not an actual product, but a real problem for millions of children around the world."

was the water actual dirty water or flavoring and food coloring?

[Baytoes]

in now way was this toxic, it was an organic and completely harmless recipe created simply to mimic dirty water.

[sunmist555]

Lawsuit much? Is this water ACTUALLY contaminated, or is it just meant to look that way? While it is creative, what if some kid drank it and died? To a young child, a vending machine is a vending machine...

[Baytoes]

UNICEF would not have approved it if it was dangerous.

UNICEF would not have approved it if the recipe used was dangerous.

Interesting way to make money for a cause.

But one thing. Its disingenuous. The filter it when they get home. They don't drink it in "raw" form.

[Baytoes]

That's not entirely accurate. Filters, like wells, are not as widely available as you may think. That's a different problem that has other charities involved.

[seventyhopes12]

I would love to donate, but I can't because I am form other country.

[Baytoes]

it was all pro bono....everything donated by various vendors....and even so, if tally the cost of all this....that $ is not nearly enough to be as effective as creating buzz for the cause reaching the masses. have you donated yet?

[8r33d]

OMG, those stupid girls at the end should really be forced to drink this stinky water. That makes me really kinda angry when I have to see, that some people on this planet are still laughing about the agony of other humans on this planet.

1$=1bottle dirty water and a bottle=turn the bottle to be a rubbish= rubbish polluted the enviornment= dirty water again?

[supernovaclips]

So what happens to the bottles after the "consumers" buy em?

[mrfunderful]

Every time my neighbor washes her car and leaves the water hose on the ground--wasting water...I wanna go over there and smack her upside the head with a large trout.

[11yinyang11]

Just because our (usa) water is mostly transparent,,doesn't mean it's not contaminated..js.

[Mrwickedchild]

7 people deserve to die.
