I thought that the ice-cream video was a great way to convey a very simple but strong idea in an impactful and light-hearted way. It is interesting to see how people come up with creative ways to put forward important thoughts on a wide platform. The power of media is definitely getting stronger day after day and using in in the right direction sets some hopes for a brighter future. This approach by Bill Nye was really awesome! Thanks for sharing such a cool piece.
ReplyDeleteI always love videos like this. I think they're a great way to share concepts without making people feel like they're being lectured. While I thought the video was awesome, I can see why some people would struggle with it. On one hand, it is taking a serious issue and making it into a joke. Really until the scene where they all started licking each other, I didn't see any issues but there I started to question if they had gone too far.
