"thislandwasmine .org" ad just ran on MSM "must see" Video at site

CNN International for the web site "This land was mine .org"
<http://www.thislandwasmine.org/tlwm/index.html>

The several videos are available for streaming at the link above.

This one has a really effective video, that targets to the Soccer Mom's:

"What would you do if you had to worry about land mines every time you went to the store, took a drive in the countryside or went to see your doctor...?"

2. I bet the Soccer Ball industry would probably lobby Congress...

to keep it off.:evilfrown:

I was wondering if maybe it could be sneek onto Local T.V. Stations, or Do they still require Local stations to air a cirtain number of P.S.A.s (Public Service Anouncements)?:shrug:

4. You may need to turn off any "Pop-up" blocker that you have

I had trouble with that to.

Or, right click the link to the video (high band or Low band link) then paste it into Media Player or Winamp where it says "Open URL" in the "File" drop down menu.

What web browser do you use?

Also, clearing the "Cookies" some time works, but that's more drastic.

6. Made me tear up too

I saw the one with the Cambodian Farmer on CNN International, about the only part of CNN that is even close to watchable.

Unfortunately, most of the viewers are outside the U.S.

Can you imagine if the Soccer Game spot ran during the SuperBowl? That would be a miracle.:think:

7. Will never happen

MoveOn couldn't even get a rather innocuous ad on. This wouldn't even get considered.
