The song seems to be a tongue n'cheek sendup that is more designed to provoke discussion, and it's simplistic nature is silly, but it's Kook Keith dammit! The whole point seems to be primal fear. Simplistic, real and accessible, even to a child. It seems more silly to argue the merits of KK doing something that is legitimately influential in terms of activism. It's not a commercial for the Sierra Club, dudes, it's silly music! Visually, this video is engaging as all hell.

If offended anyone..sorry. Anyway, from my perspective the point of the video is to communicate to a younger demographic even though there is some dark imagery. I think that is what people don't "get". Of course it is a serious topic but it doesn't mean you have to beat people over the head with the some scary, scary imagery. Maybe the kids should of been dancing on floating corpses of Hurricane Katrina victims? The Al Gore film was scary enough for adults, I think this was for kids/young adults. I thought the video was cool. I liked the look of the forest and car scenes a lot. I don't see many music videos that keep my interest but this did.

And the reason I questioned it at all is because I don't really feel the message is conveyed in the most effective and purposeful means possible. I mean it's a little kid doing this quirky playful rap about trees dying. I dunno, maybe that's the hook. But I think it's forgettable, when it shouldn't be. It's a serious issue, not something a little kid should rap about ala 'beakman's world'. Well, the whole reason I posted this was because of it’s ‘purpose’, which I am appreciative of.

I think the point is to critique the piece regardless of its purpose. People didn't trash the piece because it wasn't a commercial for some corporate product. They said what they said because they thought it could have been better. I happen to agree here as well. Wow, no need to get all crazy here phantasm.

Give me a break. You assholes fawn over corporate crass commercials that have no other purpose than to manipulate, control and sell shit that NO ONE needs yet here comes something that is about doing something positive and it gets trashed. I don't get it. Gaze into a Hummer commercial and vote Republican you shallow shitheads. “leave the edgy crap at home.”
