Sappy Videos Are For Losers

vimeo Direkt

Old friend Lance shared this video from Gizmodo, calling himself a cold hearted bastard because it didn’t make him tear up. I’d have to agree, because though the idea of musicians from all around the world contributing to a single song sounds cool, I wasn’t ready to get all emotional over it. Maybe if they had included some cute starving children or something. With a dying puppy. Then MAYBE, but I’m more concerned with catching up on all the shows stored on my DVR.

Also, does anyone else agree that the Native Americans in the beginning of this video need to step it up a notch or two? I mean, c’mon. We’ve got a blind African American man singing with another guy strumming a washboard AND tin cans…while this tribe is just banging away on a drum in the easiest beat ever? Come one, dudes. Where’s your inspiration? Think about the Trail of Tears or something. LET’S PUT SOME FEELING INTO IT.
