I really like the concept but 3 issues:
1. Compared to history, the world is only “a mess” if you consume to much mass media. We are are all being spoon fed “glass half-empty”ism way too often.
2. Unless I was mistaken, I believe the video put BABY & HUSBAND in the same negative light as HIV & HUNGER?
3. Why do you have to agree with the spots premise to watch it (and are they keeping track of the answers)
Just my 2 (or 3) cents…good luck to the organizers.
