Dukie I think your getting too over-whelmed by the amount of people that do nothing. If you get an amount of people devoting time/money/support to a cause because of seeing this video or an advertisement or whatever it IS worth it, you can't focus on what you can't control. You can control what you do, how you help etc and it all starts with one person.
I remember hearing a story about a young boy who heard about how in Africa alot of people don't have clean drinking water, they were talking about it in his class. Instead of saying its too much not enough people are helping he started fund-raising and he raised enough money to build a well for a school which in turn helped the whole village, and he continued from there. Kids have such a better outlook than adults its phenomenal.
My rants aren't limited to this specific issue. I'm just totally fed up with the way the West deals with problems these days. Awareness adds with coked up celebs, t-shirts, pink ribbons.
But actually using our ridiculous amount of resources, money and knowledge to deal with it?
Nope. We'd rather invent a bigger tv.
and THAT'S why I'm saying fuck this shit.
So...fuck this shit. Fuck domestic abuse awareness ads and fuck pink cancer ribbons.
Just...fucking solve it.
EDIT: Also, what's this vid REALLY gonna do? IF, i say, IF there are people that need Kiera Knightly videos for them to realize domestic abuse is wrong and they should help to stop it if they notice it, WHAT THE FUCK?!
You really think people are gonna go "I never really thought about it, but since seeing that Kiera clip, I TOTALLY realized domestic abuse is wrong!".
If it's a problem it's a problem. No amount of "awareness" is going to help it. The people that don't see it happen don't see it happen. And the people that DO see it happen...well, like I said, if they need a celeb-ad to make them realize it's wrong then they should fucking die anyway.
