  • danielberg, on 06/05/2008, -7/+36tears in my eyes...
  • dvazgird, on 06/05/2008, -3/+34i felt so gluttonous after watching that.
    • presidentjapan, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2I don't know if it's right to feel guilt for some things that feel so distant and far in relation to most of us, but one thing I do know is you can always make a change for the better.
      • RobotLeAwesome, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1IMPOSTER!
      • salomejones, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2What kind of shoes do you wear?
        • otbeverly, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Crocs ... damnit??!!??
        • michaelb1, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3New Balance only. Made in the USA.
          Well, I'm sure my dress shoes are made by some kid somewhere.
          Do shoe companies have to certify that they don't use child labor?
      • digitalhair, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1I think presidentjapan is right about reacting with guilt for not having to work in a sweat shop. I don't feel guilty at all. I feel angry.

        People should feel angry about this - that aristocrats, whose companies already thrive domestically, would be so bent on increasing their profit by outsourcing their workforce to a third-world country in order to skirt labor laws, then tell themselves "it's better than no job at all" before they go to sleep at night.

        This kind of behavior has actually damned the USA in terms of our trade deficit, unless you're convinced that trickle-down economics actually works... by the way, it doesn't - it only works for the profiteering class.

        So basically, human traffickers and sweatshop owners aren't just pimping labor, they're actually pimping and selling out their own country's well-being while profoundly undermining the value of their country's currency by increasing its trade deficit, all the while pumping dollars into fascist states that don't care about citizens enough to protect them with labor laws.

        People should be ANGRY that current laws are not crushing this business practice.
    • salomejones, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Good, your brain is working.
    • spacerobot, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1It's heartbreaking how disconnected we as Americans have become from the rest of the world, especially the third world. It's heartbreaking how much of our society couldn't care less about their lives, as long as we are comfortable. It's also heartbreaking how many of the children and families living those lives will never know anything besides that... yet I'm sure they still find happiness.
      How can we raise more awareness of these types of things? America is the poorest billionaires the world knows.
    • mrASSMAN, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1Yeah.. i take my existence for granted.
  • ColonelTribune, on 06/05/2008, -4/+43It's sad Radiohead has to do a PSA to raise awareness about human trafficking. It's a multibillion-dollar a year industry.
    • ScoobyG, on 06/05/2008, -2/+10Where did you get that non-number from?
      • salomejones, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4And here I am thinking it was about child slave labor.
    • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -0/+7Listen to this http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/player/CPRadio_p ... in its entirety.

      How can anyone be apathetic toward the wrongs perpetuated by the same breed of true business pricks as John Nash Pickle??? It's always the same people committing the same kind of injustice with differing degrees of inhumanity.

      We should have ZERO tolerance for this behavior and this kind of psychosis in our country.
    • spiritditch, on 06/05/2008, -6/+1Hmmm, well if we can't stop it, the industry should be opened up to private investors. Let the market decide.
      • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5I hope you're being sarcastic...
  • ersatzphi, on 06/05/2008, -7/+80Only problem is the MTV crowd either doesn't give a ***** or will bring it up in conversation and do nothing.
    • Ninjab3ar, on 06/05/2008, -3/+49Hate to be the devil's advocate, but it sounds like digg.....
      • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -1/+9jesus christ, just having a conversation about it on digg is doing something. being audible about your disapproval is doing something. Your nihilism facilitates nihilistic behavior, and I can't believe you didn't get that from watching the Radiohead video kineticworm was moved enough to submit to DIGG - a place where other people could share their disapproval for such unnecessary suffering. WAKE UP!!! the phrase itself is becoming a cliche!!!
    • RobotLeAwesome, on 06/05/2008, -1/+15You don't have to be a member of the MTV crowd to not care.
      • doctechnical, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Very true. I'm completely apathetic and I can't even spell MTV.
    • Iknockstuffdown, on 06/05/2008, -0/+31I didn't even know MTV plays music related stuff anymore.
      • Fastfuud, on 06/06/2008, -0/+0Yeah, I was as surprised as you were.
      • Fastfuud, on 06/06/2008, -0/+0Yeah, I was as surprised as you were.
    • RustyJ, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5I'm sure they'll blog about it too.
    • ahawks, on 06/05/2008, -2/+3While the digg crowd diggs it, comments, and then LOLs at a 2girls1cup cake.
    • jferraro, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1I was thinking the same thing. Good cinematography, but what does it actually do? I don't think the video is terribly effective on its own, but is does build awareness and coupling that with a larger project to make change, it could be good.
      • ratexla, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1Someone said "Ignorant people can't act responsibly, people with knowledge are compelled to." :)
        (Well... As soon as their thick mental defense walls fall after a few 1000 reminders, anyway.)
  • sherid, on 06/05/2008, -9/+4It is like light and darkness.
  • kelleydfp, on 06/05/2008, -7/+3wow...!
  • Dorment, on 06/05/2008, -5/+28This reminded me of something I once read about Dr. King. I can't remember, I think it was something by Cornel West, but any way it talked about how King knew he was in a struggle and he knew he was fighting for something, and like in most social movements he had his drawbacks, his failings. When King failed it struck him on a incredibly deep level, you could see it in his face, the man lost sleep over it. There was such a drive, a desire for justice in him that it consumed him, you got the feeling that the pain was so great that he would rather die then see the cause of equality not reach its goal. I think that's something we miss a lot anymore. There are many people calling for change, who talk about the state of the world and disapprove of it. But that's where it ends. They don't need it, they don't sacrifice for it, they aren't willing to say " This is my purpose, this will be my life, if I fail at this my existence will have meant nothing." Its not about the pursuit of personal wealth, or even personal happiness, but the pursuit of justice, liberty, and equality for all humanity. We need more voices crying out in the wilderness.
    • roomforpanic, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4You speak truth. Make straight the pathways.
  • MicheleM, on 06/05/2008, -4/+4Great video
  • luke16, on 06/05/2008, -9/+50***** Amazing.
    Thom Yorke is amazing.
    Radiohead is amazing.
    This video is ***** amazing, possibly the best music video i have seen in a long time. If not, THE best.
    No other music can get to me like Radiohead.
    Nuff said.
    • 3zero3, on 06/05/2008, -2/+16Word. My favorite musicians for many years now.
      • bundwallah, on 06/05/2008, -11/+1PPffftttttt!!!!! They sound like a cross between U2 and Coldplay. They're no Led Zeppelin...
        • spiritditch, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5In chemistry, you can mix two poisonous chemicals together to create a new and amazing new chemical.

          That, I believe, is what happened here.

        • gplpark92, on 06/05/2008, -0/+8Coldplay came long after Radiohead

          listen to "Pyramid Song" - sounds like U2? You sure about that?
        • sodade, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1I agree that they are not the new LZ - The Mars Volta has that title locked up. I'd say they are the new Pink Floyd - just listen to Lucky off OK Computer a couple times and you will get it.
        • Exact0, on 06/05/2008, -0/+0@Sodade

          The Mars Volta is something completely new. I wouldn't compare them to LZ myself, but I can see where you're coming from.

          Radiohead definately has the feel of Pink Floyd.
          Sigur Ros is more of an incarnation of PF though.



        • Myonosken, on 06/06/2008, -0/+11) Coldplay are newer than Radiohead. MUCH newer.
          2) U2? U2 has done stuff like Airbag and Packt like sardines?
          3) They're no led Zeppelin huh? Funny that, could have sworn they're totally different so obviously AREN'T going to be Led Zeppelin.
    • ChrisshEnzo, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1the most incredible part is the subtlety of the message. unlike a wycleff jean video where an immigrant is on the verge of being deported or beat to death but it shows how all people are connected and it is important we make the world a better place for everyone to live a life they are deserving of. i think the realization at the end of the video that the boy was wearing the shoes the other boy was making said it all without the proverbial accusatory undertone. again radiohead succeds where others fail, dugg.
  • pentupentropy, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4It definitely was touching. Where are some of the groups to help overcome the issue of human trafficking?
  • WallnutBoy, on 06/05/2008, -2/+11Anyone know what it said at the end?
  • kprooney, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3great
  • MrSarcasm, on 06/05/2008, -32/+14OH MY GOD THE DESCRIPTION IS SO IMPORTANT THAT IT'S ALL IN CAPS SO I'D BETTER STOP MASTURBATING TO CREAMPIE PORN AND READ IT CAREFULLY
    • halobender, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4When I read all the other comments they add up to pretty much the same thing.
      People like to express outrage at this stuff but rarely do they do anything. If you people really feel so bad you have to stop buying most of what you buy.
      • tehxen3, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1Lol, so those poor chinese children can suffer from hunger and worse instead of just being forced to work?
        People buying chinese stuff aren't the cause of chinese poverty, they are slowly but steadily alleviating it. Instead, the cause of their poverty is 50 years rule of a totalitarian socialist regime.
        • halobender, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1They are still suffering from hunger after all the buying.
  • worthyda, on 06/05/2008, -2/+11check out notforsalecampaign.org or humantrafficking.org
    • soupnrc, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2The Not For Sale Campaign.

      I work in a warehouse as a shipping supervisor. We're a third party distributor for some other companies, meaning we keep their product at our warehouse and ship it for them. NFS is one of our clients. We store all of their gear here. If you've ever ordered their shirts or anything like that, it's come through my hands, haha.

      With that said, YES, Not for Sale and all of those companies are way cool. It's so important not to support human trafficking. Education is key, I think most people don't realize a lot of the things that happen in this world and the injustices imposed on the multitudes on a daily basis.
  • TheRealToma, on 06/05/2008, -3/+12Makes me want to boycott everything made in sweat shops.... but without that sweatshop, these kids would be on the street or dead :( It all sucks.
    • fatejudger, on 06/05/2008, -3/+15That's what most people seem to forget. Having a ***** job and being poor is better than having no job and being dead.
      • sodade, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Is it really? Death is peace. What the ***** is the point of a life of slavery?
      • Sawta, on 06/06/2008, -1/+1"I would rather die on my feet, then live on my knees."
    • halobender, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4Well better not buy anything from any major retailer.
    • michaelb1, on 06/05/2008, -0/+11The alternative is to force congress to pass a law forbidding US companies from selling products in the US that does not comply with US labor laws.
      A law like this may in fact exist. If so they should enforce it instead of making sure people don't wear the wrong t-shirts on an airplane.

      I'll gladly pay $2-5$ more per shirt/shoes/pants if I knew it wasn't slowly crushing the life out of the person that made it.
      • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3This comment is right on the money. Any other angle on this is fruitless dogma or political subversion.
      • sodade, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I agree, but your numbers are way off - it would crush American consumerism.
      • TheRealToma, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4Youre totally right. I saw a small business show here in Australia about people trying to market their new product, and the only way they could get a their product produced and at a competitive price was to get it made in China. I guess thats another issue, where small companies would get smashed out of the market if they had a better product but was $5-$10 more (but locally made). the majority of people shop with their wallets, not their hearts.
  • badNetAdmin, on 06/05/2008, -1/+20alcune cose costano piu di quanto pensi = Some things cost more than you think
  • Kireblade, on 06/05/2008, -2/+6The big question is, what can we as concerned citizens do to stop it? Not criticizing the video, I'm just asking...
    • badNetAdmin, on 06/05/2008, -2/+3You can buy fair trade goods...

      http://www.transfairusa.org/
    • kingmanic, on 06/05/2008, -2/+8Be okay with paying more for stuff. Avoid brands who associate with sweatshops and child labor. Buy less stuff in general. Buy more local products. Create a crack team of vigilante paramilitary and go around shooting dictators, CEO's and sweatshop owners who create such situations.
    • 4d669, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Stop buying people.
  • r2builder, on 06/05/2008, -2/+37Not as touching, but check out this video for Nude - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmfHHLfbjNQ
    • spiralspirit, on 06/05/2008, -0/+7that was ***** awesome.
      • r2builder, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Thanks :) I made it this weekend.
        • kitsua, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Dude, in all fairness, and in all honesty ... that was very cool. The sort of thing I immediately send all my friends. Good job sir, good job. Dugg.
        • r2builder, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Aaaw shucks

          Seriously, thanks for your words. I didn't make this for any money, so the best case scenario is that online strangers like it. Win. I was a bit unsure about letting this one fly the nest; with the 1 min screeching intro and all, but I'm glad that it's well received. :)
    • whoawen, on 06/05/2008, -0/+10You definitely deserve to win that contest. Have you submitted it as a digg story?
      • r2builder, on 06/05/2008, -0/+7I didn't enter it into the contest, as it wasn't really a remix. Plus, the contest only let you submit audio, and the video is the most important part. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
    • kiwiboyus, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5That totally rocked.
    • Protoss, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Wow that was pretty badass man! Why hasn't this been put out there more?
    • Lewiji, on 06/05/2008, -0/+8http://digg.com/music/Radiohead_s_Nude_played_on_o ...
      Digg it!
    • skullmountain, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2It almost is as touching as 'All I Need' - conjures up thoughts on old electronics and consumer goods, how they typically end up in a landfill... there are many ways to recycle things people commonly deem as 'garbage' .
      J/K. Sweet vid.
      • r2builder, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3That's exactly the message I was going for! Haha. Nah I was just ***** around.
    • zrthstr, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2I think it would have been better without the minute long 'intro.'

      Regardless, props for being a badass.
      • r2builder, on 06/05/2008, -0/+6The intro is there because the guitar pieces are actually loading. The high pitched noise you hear is the Sinclair ZX Spectrum loading. If you took the line-out from your PC, and fed it into a Spectrum, you could run the same guitar beep program. Waiting forever before the fun was all part of the Spectrum. By leaving it in, I'm not only rewarding the patient viewer, but also proving the legitimacy of the video. Without it, it could easily just have been played on a Casio keyboard.

        Thanks for the props. :)
  • Saladas, on 06/05/2008, -8/+3Dugg for Radiohead!!!

    Anything from Trent Reznor or Radio Head Will make it to the first page!!

    • drgmdp, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1better video, worse audio
  • mikefitz2, on 06/05/2008, -5/+23oh is this where we all post our comments about how "bad we feel" for the children, then five seconds later move on to the next article and bitch about "corporate america," then maybe go to the tech section and digg up every ***** Apple and Google topic we see?

    talk talk talk, blah blah blah, keep on typin away people.
    • diggerphelps, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1No, I'm going to put this video on my iPod(R), get in my Prius[TM], and go to every Starbucks[TM] in my neighborhood and show it to all the apathetic, materialistic bitches in Manolo Blahniks I meet there.

      Then maybe I'll invite them to go see that Zohan movie.

    • halobender, on 06/05/2008, -2/+3It's still entertainment. We don't need any more Bonos around, they are musicians not professors.

      Radiohead: Music is all I know and I have to do something
  • Nazuel, on 06/05/2008, -12/+7I will probably get buried for this, but it has to be said. How many of the people posting here will go out tonight and eat a plate full of animal and buy something from a 3rd world country? If we stopped eating animals there would be enough grain and vegetables to go around. If we quit supporting countries like China and companies like Nike who exploit children then maybe more kids could get an education. Problem is that Americans and other industrialized nations refuse to give up any of our luxuries to make someone elses life better. And when you call them hypocrites? They try to make you look stupid to justify their selfishness. If you learn anything from this, examine your own ***** life and how it contributes to the misery of other human beings.

    Quit rationalizing. Start making changes.
    • pathouston22, on 06/05/2008, -6/+3Animals are tasty. I will not stop eating animals. Nature/god (whatever you believe) made us to eat animals. Yummy!
    • luvthecanadian, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3"If we stopped eating animals there would be enough grain and vegetables to go around."

      May I ask how?
    • Tssst, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Eating animals has nothing to do with anything in this video, that whole 'it takes more grain' argument was debunked years ago. Secondly, and more importantly:
      Boycotting these products and corporations without creating an alternative for these kids FIRST will only harm them. Currently they are living in dire poverty, if they lost these sweatshops, they'd be starving to death, not magically 'going to school and getting an education' as you suggest. The aparatus for that alternative is non-existant. In order to help these kids, that aparatus and infrastructure needs to be created first, before their only source of livlihood is demonised and snatched away from them.
      • dyoungdigger, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1But who is going to create that change? It sure as hell won't be these third world countries. the UN is useless, and anytime the US tries to help any country we get called an imperialist nation guilty of extending our "empire". Course they never say that when a tsunami hits and we send billions in relief... or when their people are being slaughted by the thousands and we send troops in.

        Bottom line is these places have to start carrying their own weight and care enough about their own people to stop this from happening.
    • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1human trafficking isn't driven by the need for low-priced luxuries, it's driven by greed, increased profit margins, and the strategic desire for continuous growth. don't let the profiteers confuse you.

      the same goes for the outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries for cheap labor "in order to survive in this global economy." they're all myths created by globalists.
    • vitixme, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Hey! I resent that remark! I contribute to my own misery well enough.
  • dusingaz, on 06/05/2008, -9/+3We should all feel like ***** for being successful.
    • Nazuel, on 06/05/2008, -1/+7You are not successful. Your ancestors were successful at exploiting other people, and your parents were successful in birthing you in a privileged country. Then you don't even have the shame to be thankful. Hubris for the win.
  • pathouston22, on 06/05/2008, -15/+5Thanks for the shoes kid! I bought them at Wal-Mart for $19.99. If it wasn't for me wanting cheap shoes made by you in a sweatshop, you would NO job instead of A job.
    • sbuzz, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Phrasing wasn't quite so spectacular but the idea is one shared by many development economists. OF COURSE we don't want children that age working in conditions like those. But, as cold-hearted as it may sound, now they have a job. They can afford a meal, albeit a pitiful one. Sweatshops are terrible but they go some way to providing a livelihood and without them these children would probably be in a worse-off condition.
      • ratexla, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1Well, if more people knew or were reminded of the conditions maybe they'd be prepared to pay a little more per shoe - that could be used for the kid's parents' wage perhaps, not the rich middleman or the kid. ---> Kiddo could get an education.

    • tehxen3, on 06/05/2008, -3/+1Lack of "capitalism thing" in countries who were ruled by socialist regimes for the past 50 years has caused their poverty and suffering, genius.

  • darkfus, on 06/05/2008, -6/+2I think its great they're raising awareness, but I thought it was just ok. It also was obviously not aired in the USA. The only part that brought a tear to my eye was the ALL CAPS.
    • TheMikeStone420, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4Yeah, some people can't stand to read capital letter...it stings their eyes. "Must...look away...letters....are....too big."
  • Nickdotnet, on 06/05/2008, -6/+1Maybe I'm the only one here to think that video was a little lame. I LOVE Radiohead and haven't taken this album out of my car since it came out, and I totally support what the video was trying to do, but I think it was just really boring. We got the point like 30 seconds into it. I would have like to see more scenes from the sweatshop or a little bit more drama or something. I know its the whole "daily lives" thing, but come on, gimme something more or else I'll flip over to VH1....
    • vitixme, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Oh, I get it, you're VH1's target audience.
  • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5we need every generation to step up and write and produce more songs and videos about social justice NOW because the silence is DEAFENING...

    Why should Radiohead, or Thom Yorke himself, bear the burden alone? Why the ***** is this video and song not playing round-the-clock somewhere?
    • bundwallah, on 06/05/2008, -2/+1Cool, maybe there'll be a LIVENOTRAFFICKINGAID concert that will raise awareness for hours, make $$'s for corporate sponsors/advertisers and raise funds that will go god knows where?

      Kudos to the band for trying to raise awareness, but the way things work in this world is that we don't personally change what we do, we partake in events or wear stupid ribbons that help us assuage our guilt and we then carry on like nothing happened.
      • digitalhair, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2more nihilism.

        tell me something... do you support what the band is trying to do with this video, or are you ***** working to convince people that human trafficking is inevitable? because I thought people should have an opinion about this in order for them to react properly when it counts...
        • bundwallah, on 06/05/2008, -2/+0Do I support the band?? hmm.... "Kudos to the band for trying to raise awareness"...yeah, I think I said that....yep....look above..I did. As for the rest of your comment, I don't have to convince anyone of anything. People watching a video does not equate into action. Its' passive. You might feel bad about it, but what are you going to do about it? That is the nature of my comment. I'm not for human trafficking if that's what you are implying.
  • Infidelcastr0, on 06/05/2008, -7/+4This is why the "free market" is bad.
    • thewindfish, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4The PC you are using is a product of...?
  • killtrocity, on 06/05/2008, -2/+1That was incredible.
  • tallonx, on 06/05/2008, -2/+3What can I do? I want to help... This is ... horrifying.
  • otbeverly, on 06/05/2008, -2/+0So glad I got to see Radiohead early last month ... so pissed a friend of mine is going to see them play in an old Roman ampitheatre on the French Riviera in a few days.
  • valesremedy, on 06/05/2008, -2/+1Radiohead is probably one of the best bands of our generation who have shown a constant evolution in their music / sound. They are simply an inspiration. I hope they continue they great work they've done musically.

    As far as the video is concerned: Wether or not the reasons are for "PR" or not. If it manages to shine a light on a problem that's so completely undergound, then something great has come out of the video. I would def like to see something evolve from this.
  • DaMarsMan, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5Dugg for Radiohead.
  • hermslice, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Some people want to go help other countries. others want to help Americans.

    when people call to help other countries with there problems things like iraq end up happening.
    we need to take care of our own country as well. how many homeless people (children and adults alike) are there in the us alone?
    people need to make up their minds. should we be bettering our country or bettering another country.
    and what right or power do we have to go to another country and tell them how they should be working.

    its for that reason the rest of the world calls us Americans bullies.
    we need to take care or our home first then we can work on the rest of the world. fix our economy. find more jobs. be more self reliant then we can see about spending tax payers money on countries that bad mouth us anyway.

  • Hizzout, on 06/05/2008, -0/+6I like Radiohead, and the song is good. I understand that the video is trying to raise awareness to the problems with human trafficking, HOWEVER I get a slight undertone from the video of trying to make the watcher feel guilty in some way. Like as if to say "look at you....you get to sleep in a bed. You get to play with friends and go to school, and eat a good breakfast and lunch, and watch cartoons. You have no idea what you really have." and maybe that's also the point.

    Now that I have a 9 month old daughter and I'm starting to look at life a little differently, why should I feel guilty for trying to strive to give my daughter the life of the picture on the left? They could have easily left out the sweatshop imagery and put an impoverished American or British child on the right hand side. Does that make it any less tragic?
    • damndj, on 06/05/2008, -2/+4We deserve to feel guilt for the massive ***** we take on the globe and its less fortunate populations.
      • insomnislacker, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Not sure I understand your point. Those shoes are sold in other countries besides the US, or even the west for that matter, right? I'm not one for exploitation in any form, but I don't see what changes you envision that would better the lives of the children on the right that could ever be taken by the people on the left.

        Every time some country tries to "help" another country because it's poor, be it due to the political structure, the resources of the country, or what ever, it seems to go awry. Real change needs to happen from within the country. It always does.
      • dyoungdigger, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Screw you man. I'll never feel guilty for what I have. I worked my ass off to get it. I went to school, I worked hard IN school, and I busted my ass OUT of school to get where I am. You tell me to feel guilty for that? Bite me.
        • kineticworm, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1at least your not working for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. you missed the point of how fortunate we are. you call going to school "busting ass". you don't know what real work is.
    • icroak, on 06/05/2008, -1/+0That's because you should feel guilty. What exactly do you want to pass on to your children? Materialism? Comfort and convenience? A nice house? Is that really what you want them to appreciate you for?
      • Hizzout, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2So because I'll have toys, a bed, 3 square meals a day, and an education for my child she'll grow up being an ungrateful brat? That's just hilarious. I love how providing as best a life for my daughter as I can is something to feel guilty for.

        Maybe I should sell all my possessions and live in a cardboard box with my wife and child and scrape and beg to survive. Maybe then I'll stop feeling guilty.

        I feel bad for the children the video portrays on the right hand side, I really do but the root of the problem has to do with the governments of these countries who squander their money on themselves and their interests and seek more and more power and control and let their people live in such conditions. Making a video on MTV isn't going to change the world, no matter how good the intention.

        • dyoungdigger, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Hizzout, you are totally right. Why feel guilty for having an education and working hard. I get very tired with people in this country telling me to feel guilty for my success. I have worked very hard to get where I am. Nobody gave me anything in life and what I have I earned through hard work. icroak says to feel guilty about what you have... then probably just went to play his 360 or PS3... or look up ***** on his mac (all of which have parts from China, where this type of ***** happens daily.) So... to icroak, I say this: if you feel so bad, sell all of your ***** and live on the streets... better yet... go to the sweatshop or work in a factory. I've worked in a factory and have earned my right to be where I am... maybe you should do the same.
  • d03boy, on 06/05/2008, -9/+1maybe if the song didn't suck so hard it would actually make some people aware
    • kidathinnes, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3maybe if you didn't suck so hard people would digg your responses.
    • changturkey, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Not everyone likes the same music there. Or maybe you just didn't give it a chance.
  • damndj, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5What a simple, yet stunning video. It gives me chills and causes me to pause to think about the world for just a moment.
  • jameshighmore, on 06/05/2008, -5/+2OK COOL THANKS
  • wolfofwar, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Good song.
  • UnarmedHippo, on 06/05/2008, -4/+1....*****
