Bump.

[asurfaholic]

Epic

[Sematary]

wow. powerful.

[coastie]

WOW. I can not believe this aired.

That has to be one of the most powerful endings to a commercial I have ever seen.

[mczerone]

so I went to their link: think.mtv.com.

It redirected to "act.mtv.com", and was just a page filled with pop culture clutter. A couple of articles about "going green" and immigration policy.

Nothing about actually living freely or avoiding tyranny; nothing intellectual.

I am disappoint.

[Aratus]

if i say powerful i am making a british understatement
and i am ethnically part english and 100% american...

Edit to add:

Since Coastie and I posted the same video above I will post another one of importance. By the way, the first MTV commercial (posted) only aired in Europe.

The Clergy Response team is real and last I heard they had some 20,000 clergy who agreed to participate in this Federal program.

Here is a good article about it:

Here is a pastor who gets it:

Very powerful stuff.

Hegalian dialectic at work. Problem....reaction....solution. Only this time it's Hegal squared.

Problem - fear of terrorism; reaction - people willing to give up liberty for security; solution - patriot act, NDAA, etc.

Problem - fear of martial law from patriot act and NDAA; reaction - people open to seeing the "truth" on TV; solution - redirect people to non-solution websites like MTV.

can anyone confirm if these are from, and have aired on MTV?!?!!?!?!!?!?

[Inkblots]

I'm inevitably reminded of a certain scene from the movie "Brazil":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSQ5EsbT4cE

Just replace "section 47 paragraph 7 of Council Order 438476" with "section 1031 paragraph (b)(2) of NDAA 2012" and you're suddenly in the realm of real possibility rather than satire.

THINK.MTV.COM UNVEILS ARRESTING HOLOCAUST PSAs FROM EMMY-WINNING DIRECTOR MICHAEL FRANZINI AND ARNOLD WORLDWIDE

New York, NY – January 24, 2008 – Think.MTV.com, MTV’s youth-focused online activist community, today exclusively premiered two arresting 30-second public service announcements that recreate events from the Holocaust in modern-day America. The concept for the spots came from the same group at the Boston office of Arnold Worldwide that created the highly acclaimed truth® anti-tobacco campaign.

In one spot, a family lounges at home. Teen boys play a video game. Their sister carries schoolbooks in to begin her homework. Mom begins to prepare dinner. Suddenly, a team of soldiers bursts into their house and rounds up the entire family into a waiting truck, already holding dozens of others pulled from their homes.
In the other spot, people stand in a crowded subway car. At first, it looks like it could be morning rush hour in New York City. But then the train slams to an abrupt halt in a station and soldiers with dogs and machine guns order everyone into one of two huge lines on the platform.
Both spots end with a freeze frame that dissolves to an actual historical photograph, provided by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.
They can be viewed at http://think.mtv.com/profile/MichaelFranzini/.

Director/photographer Michael Franzini worked with the group at Arnold for six months to craft the most compelling message to engage U.S. teens with an episode in world history that is in danger of being forgotten.
“My generation, Gen X, barely knew what the word Holocaust meant,” said Franzini, referring to a 1993 study by the Roper Organization which found that 53% of U.S. high school students could not say what the Holocaust was. “We were horrified to find that teenagers today know even less.”

Franzini sent out video crews in four cities last year, approaching teenagers on city streets, asking them what the Holocaust was. Responses included speculation that the Holocaust took place in Iraq and that Hitler was a Jew fighting against the Nazis. Almost 2/3 of those questioned had little or no idea what the Holocaust was. The interviews can be viewed at http://michaelfranzini.com/holocaust/interviews.mov
“We all recall black and white images of the holocaust in our minds. But the Holocaust happened to real people, in full color,” said Roger Baldacci, EVP, Creative Director of Arnold Worldwide. “We hope to make these ads relatable to young people by illustrating what some of the events of the Holocaust would look like in the context of today’s world.”

“To prevent the humanitarian crises of tomorrow, we must never forget the tragedies of the past,” said Ian Rowe, VP of Strategic Partnerships and Public Affairs, MTV. “These striking PSAs from Michael Franzini and Arnold Worldwide serve to reawaken our audience to this dark chapter of human history – and inspire them to help fight against the atrocities being committed in the world today.”

Through a partnership with Facing History and Ourselves (www.facinghistory.org), MTV will offer its audience a way to learn more about and take action on the lessons in the PSAs. Facing History is an international educational and professional development organization that engages students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism – in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. The group has just launched a profile on Think.MTV.com, allowing young people to learn about the historical development of the Holocaust and other genocides, then make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.

Michael Franzini is a director and photographer who has created eight on-air pro-social campaigns for MTV over the past ten years. His TV spots has twice been highlighted by The New York Times as being among the best advertising on television, and two of the MTV campaigns received Emmy Awards. He is the author of One Hundred Young Americans (http://100youngamericans.com), released in November by HarperCollins. The book tells the true story of youth culture in America through images and biographies of a cross section of 100 teens from all 50 states.

Arnold Worldwide is a highly creative communications agency focused on strong business results for large, national brands like truth®, TAG, Fidelity Investments, ESPN, Jack Daniel’s, Hershey’s, Amtrak and Ocean Spray. Arnold is owned by Havas (Nasdaq: HAVS) (Euronext Paris: HAV.PA) and represents one of the lead agencies in the system, with three fully integrated service offices in the U.S.: the Boston headquarters, New York, Washington.

thinkMTV is the umbrella for MTV’s on-air, off-air and online pro-social campaigns that engage, educate and encourage young people to take action on some of the biggest challenges facing their generation. The backbone for MTV’s pro-social efforts is Think.MTV.com, a new online community where young people, their friends and some of the biggest names in pop culture come together to effect positive social change. The Think Community is dynamic, multimedia-driven and enables youth to easily learn more about the issues that matter to them most, share their opinions – via uploaded online videos, podcasts and blogs – and connect with others to make a difference. The site is one of the only to reward members for positive actions taken online or off, serving up chances to hang out with socially conscious celebs, access to exclusive MTV events, exposure on MTV and other national media outlets, as well as grants, scholarships and more. Think.MTV.com was built with the help of financial support and expertise from founding partners the Case Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Goldhirsh Foundation and MCJ Amelior Foundation.

We better hope that Ron Paul wins because if he doesn't everyone on this board is screwed. see you in Gitmo.

[Endgame]

When the time comes, rounding us up will be easier than it has ever been for any regime in history. Facebook, emails, ISP logs to assemble lists of names. Cameras at suburban intersections with license plate and facial recognition, cell phone GPS devices, checkpoints and drones to track us. I know I'll be on one of those lists. Too late to have prevented that.

[Lothario]

wow, mind blown...

That is why it is incumbent upon all of us to speak out now, to shake awake the people--otherwise we will spiral into a 1933 Germany very rapidly. Economic collapse on the horizon and/or a false flag like they laid out in 1962 with Operation Northwood, and a stoke of the presidential pen declaring martial law and it is game over for liberty and freedom!

No, you won't.

It won't end well for me, but you won't see me there. :mad:

Aye. I know I'm going to be on the list already. Nothing I do now is going to make me any deader when the crackdown comes.

[Lothario]

I hope some youtube guru can make a video with ---> these 30 second commercials + news headlines about the NDAA + plus relevant Ron Paul talk...short, blunt, high impact.

[donnay]

No, you won't.

I am right with you. ;)

[devil21]

MTV has been doing spots like this for a while. I remember some from probably 10 years ago with a similar message.
