i just thought that putting strategical (temporary) election posters in the vicinity of graveyards of US soldiers who were killed in Vietnam or Iraq, would create a stronger impact to vote for political change.

DMCA issue
yestarday youtube permanently disabled my account.
reason stated in email: violation of copyright (featuring snippets of some other film in my film). it was swift and without a warning! ... i can't loggin to check the video in question.
apparently those who flagged the video (MELA FILMS LLC) think that sharing some of their material (in a non-commercial use!) is not a good idea...
here's a great talk from Larry Lessig on how the law strangles creativity:

Idea: News on the news
We all know that different news media push different political agendas. Why not to create a news channel that would make it even more obvious? Let's say a daily (or weekly) "news on the news" tv channel (or a web portal!) that would tell us how most popular news media covers the most important daily world news .
For example, if the news are about the conflict in the middle east, the presenter of News on News tells us what FOX, CNN or Aljazeera reported about it (i.e. what part of the story is emphasized, what are the political accents, what part of the story are not reported, if there are any other differences of the coverage, etc.)
The benefit for the general public: it will not only provide a more objective picture of the world news, but will also make news media manupulation more transparent for the viewer.
Below are some visual moods of the idea:

BMW Hourglass in Moscow
It's the kick-off party to start the countdown for BMW’s European launch of the latest model of BMW 7 series, slated to take place this fall. At the start of the build-up, more than 180,000 silvery balls concealed the car that was gradually revealed as the balls fell to the lower level.The 12-meter-high glass contraption is the centerpiece of the party thrown to 400 invited guests and celebrities. Pretty cool kick-off.
