Celebrity-RealityShow-Intertubes- and ACTIVISM?
Really clever fundraising tumblr
Challenge this guy to almost any task and donate to his Leukemia profits, he’ll shamelessly film and post the task as public embarassment and proof.
Saw this post and couldn’t also help but think of this video, soon to be screened at Cannes: Pop Your Panties - the music video for “Plastic Paris.”
Can charity/philanthropy/transformational change, celebrity culture, and internet culture really connect?
Can we internet “new media douchebags” put our funny-cat-picture-lovin, people-spying, stupid-video-watching, celebrity-worshipping, privacy-barring culture to good use? Creavity can be inspired, for sure. But activism?
