human rights

This new Amnesty International ad is gorgeous and inspired.  Gets the message across while being appropriately eerie and unsettling.  Which, given the subject matter, it should be. The folks who did this ad also did this crazy dog short (also awesome): “birds” (pleix) from pleix on Vimeo.

yet another statistic that makes me want to claw my eyes out and/or move to canada.  possibly canada isn’t remote enough…are there rooms available on Sealand? (via The Daily Dish, Andrew Sullivan @ the Atlantic and @Agent_M )
