awww HELL NAWW.

i know i've bitched and moaned about this until i've been blue in the face (wow, meghan, how many cliche phrasicals can you add? how many??). but this made me shit my pants until the cows came home. that one really sucked, but so does this:




and this:

notice the donate button --->

courtney, you have to fucking watch the video to get what i'm talking about. 

what i'm talking about is the absurd notion that young people, who totally look up to fucking dakota fanning and just absolutely love her, give a shit that she cares about cancer. because guess fucking what? WE ALL DO. 

i think that this commercial is almost entirely superficial with its use of celebrities and the way that it's broadcasted. it's really taking the view of the american public down a few notches. like advertisers really believe that if they put out another celebrity cancer video, somehow, everyone will know about this "new and noteworthy" cause and donate. 

i just want to know how the fuck these stupidass "stand up to cancer" promos are helping anybody. 

before, i did a blog on how in the previous "SUTC" commercial, celebrities quite literally stood up on camera. 

this time, dakota fanning reads statistics so that we, the consumers (???), the public, get pulled in. but what are we getting pulled into? a commercial telling us cancer sucks. 

am i the only one who hates this? i find it repulsive. i am nauseous. why the fuck would CANCER need more publicity??? just look at those statistics her hollywoodhighness read to us: one in three women. dontcha think the PUBLIC already gets it?! and people who have cancer?? who've fought cancer? people who've lost loved ones to cancer?? do they need fucking dakota and zac to tell them we should start donating to research funds? 

hmm...yes...you know what guys? dakota's totally right! we should really get on that. you get that world? vanessa hudgens wants us to make a fund for cancer research. how brilliant! let's applaud her couragoues efforts. 

fuck you, hollywood. let's give the people a little more credit.




















p.s. i'm sure that when this video gets lots of hits, and it broadcasts on television, and the entertainers get more air time, and the charity brings in boatloads of cash from the sad sad public, who just find zac to be both appealing and wise for his age, they'll all give themselves a big pat on the back. so there's no need for me to bring it up again. (when i'm wrong and the public really didn't know about cancer til dakota told us.)


p.p.s. the ungrammatically correct use of quotations and italics indicate sarcasm where appropriate. sorry if its difficult to understand. :/


p.p.p.s. what's with all the girls in the still of the video/elevator scene all white? like, dudes, what happened to hollywood bein' all culturally aware and shit...? like..woah. ;)






SUPPLEMENTARY READING/me getting my shit together:
i'm all for celebrities bringing attention to their personalized causes, becuase it does work. if someone likes a celebrity, and they see promotion for the cause/organization, shit can get real. and i'm glad that celebrities found a better use of stardom. but i just think the cancer psas cross some sort of line... am i wrong? please comment if you want to voice an opinion
