People telling me to let your dreams go to waste, waste, waste, waste ...

Best part: 1:00 ... nice!




I wanna take this money, get out of town
Buy some time, we can make it somehow!
Waiting for a dream to come around -
You know me better than that
Baby I'm not down, down, down!

I left a letter for my sister and a bottle full of booze
One day I'm gonna love you, too!
But for now I'm running oh
I'm running south, south, south!

They say you better have a way back home
But I know they won't forget my name back home
Cause they know, I'm running oh, I'm running south!

Can you see it on my face, small town girl, never knew my place
So I got first and lined for the race
People telling me to let your dreams go to waste, waste, waste, waste ...
But what are dreams if you never sleep?
Now my dreams are life, and this life is sweet
Trippin' in the lights, a piece of the pie
I think I need a slice, slice, slice, slice ...

How can I be lost in the dark?
I thought I was walking on stars
And even if I wanted took a stop
I can't go back home, cause I came this far
So can you see it on my face, man?
Are you amazed, the way I make magic in a wasteland
Los Angeles, California
I love you bitch, let me lick you and put a stamp upon you!
A flower blooms, then a bug eats it
I heard a rumor, should I feed it?
I got a secret, can you keep it?
Shhhht! Listen, listen, listen ...

Benetton's UNHATE ad campaign - shocking, political or bringing about peace?

Benetton's new ad campaign UNHATE is -as common for their ad campaigns- controversial media topic of the last few days. The posters, which are published in every big city worldwide, depict popular people kissing each other. You can see the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, kissing the chief of state from France, Nicolas Sarkozy, as well as the paramount leader of the people's republic of china, Hu Jintao, kissing Barack Obama, president of the USA. Take a look at it, by clicking on the text. 

As you can guess this pictures aren't real, but in fact photomontages. In case of showing pope Benedikt XVI. kissing the Egyptian imam Ahmed al-Tajjeb, Benetton attracted negative attention of the Vatican. Benetton has retracted the picture already.
 

 


There are varying reactions. Some people sense the ad campaign as shocking, others see a political message and still others belive the campaign is dealing about bringing out peace.

However, the controverse project is, what it is: an ad campgaign with a moral paint, which is successful by being provocative and -in succession- getting high attention. But just speak for yourselves, by leaving a comment and showing up your personal opinion!
