One of my all-time favourite videos on Youtube... BUT
Doesn't part of the jingle sound an awful lot like part of Madonna's new song, "Give It 2 Me"?
For the record, the "Montgomery" ad came out first...
WARNING: this jingle WILL get stuck in your head!
As mentioned in today's Ottawa Sun, this husband and wife from Kelowna, B.C. are quickly becoming internet sensations with nearly 800,000 hits on Youtube -- and all because their home-based production company's videos are SOOO BAD!! Scary thing is, they've since been commissioned by the BBC to produce a clip for the talk show "Lily Allen and Friends"...
and you thought BBC meant quality!
Hope you set your PVR for today’s Oprah…
The one hour show will launch the “O Ambassadors” with the focus on two Toronto activists, Craig and Marc Kielburger.
Here is a blurb on Craig taken from Wikipedia:
Craig Kielburger C.M. is a child rights advocate and leadership specialist. He also is an award-winning author and a popular speaker. On February 20, 2007 he was named a Member of the Order of Canada by the Governor General. He co-founded (with his brother Marc) Free The Children, the world’s largest network of children helping children through education, and co-founded Leaders Today, a youth leadership training organization. When he organized the former group at the age of 12, he became famous as a young social activist. Under Kielburger’s leadership, Free The Children and its volunteers have built more than 500 primary schools, providing daily education to over 50,000 children.
Free The Children’s many accomplishments in the areas of education, alternative income, health care and peacebuilding have facilitated partnerships with organizations such as the United Nations and Oprah’s Angel Network.
Convinced of the importance of leadership development in empowering youth, Kielburger co-founded “Leaders Today” in 1999. Leaders Today empowers young people through leadership education, providing them with the inspiration and tools to affect positive social change. The organization delivers local and international training experiences, touching over 350,000 youth every year.
Craig Kielburger has traveled to more than 70 countries, visiting children and speaking out in defence of children’s rights. An internationally renowned speaker, Kielburger frequently addresses business groups, government bodies, educators, unions and students’ groups. During past engagements he has shared the podium with former U.S. president Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Queen Noor, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama and others.
Kielburger’s most recent book, co-authored with his brother Marc, is entitled Me to We. It focuses on explaining their philosophy of volunteerism, service to others and social involvement.
