Stop burning illusions

This is a video for a social marketing campaign against the use of fireworks and gunpowder like toys and games for kids. In El Salvador (on December 2006), 384 kids burn themselves playing with it. It's a tradition that on Christmas holiday and new year's celebrations people burn fireworks and gunpowder. Some of these toys are now illegal to be sold or produce but the number of children burned at the end of the year is still alarming.
Please, do not buy fireworks or gunpowder for your kids, not even those that the manufacturer says that are safe.
we did this for a marketing class but we also work hand to hand last year with OMS-OPS and organizations like APROQUEMES El Salvador making a PR plan to stop this activity.
most of the shots belongs to us but we used some others from an Orbital video (sorry), a few loops of the sky. Orbilio Valladares wrote the lyrics and sang the song like in the "Biggest" video, previously posted. Please, see my other videos and let me know your comments and ratings.

Thanks for your comment, and I share your opinions about Bush. but this is not about religious matters, It´s about imprudence and ignorance in latin american culture in the use of gunpowder and fireworks as toys for children. Thanks for watching and your comments

How about better parenting? These are the same parents who give fireworks to kids who cant even spell there name yet.

Just in my country... It's very sad because some stupid in the government (with a high position) says in december that in El Salvador can´t be christmas without gun powder and fireworks... Maybe it´s hard to explain but my culture is not ready yet to think like you, me and all of us...

you are right. we are students who worked (for free) for those politicians who didn't do anything real to stop this "accidents" with kids. But also we did it with good will and with the hope to stop this activity on our country. remember, on 2006 were 384 burned children here. and the number is increased every year. thank you very much for your comments.

hahahah.. I don't need heaven to get 40 virgin girls.. F god and Jesus.. so many people have died in there name. Religion is a way for government to control the masses. Thats how bush won the election.. after every debate, "God Bless." Dumb redneck republicans eat that shit up, quicker than there Sunday grits.

All members of the public, firefighters, and emergency personnel-The `establishment` has failed in their duty to tell you of this.. Google paddyanddollydotnet and read FIREBURN MEDIA ALERT, tell all your friends and keep that number in your back pocket 24 hours a day.
