One Laptop Per Child Commercials Will Surely Offend.  Deal With It (video)

One Laptop Per Child just rolled out a new commercial that is beyond crazy. I’m not saying it’s bad, but it depicts children in what are presumably 3rd World countries learning to use guns or sell their bodies. The whole point is that children are quick learners (i.e. are very impressionable), and if we can all find it in our hearts to donate we’ll some how supplant any possibility of them becoming murderist rebels or prostitutes. So the commercial is definitely an extreme to say the least, but hey, point taken. To donate go here
