The revolution, as they used to say, will be televised.
Of course, those who used to say that were being rather short-sighted. Today, we know that the revolution will be streamed, live tweeted, and it will probably trend until Beyonce knocks it off the list. Revolution, itself, is a term that gets tossed around a lot. Everyone tends to claim that their revolution is the one “true” revolution. It takes a little bit of concentration to keep track of which revolution we’re supposed to support and which one we’re supposed to find horrifying.
With all that in mind, revolution has always been good for sales. The commercialization of rebellion has been around forever. The music video above was released in 1999 but it feels like it could have been released yesterday. When Pepsi thought it would be a good idea to have Kendall Jenner change the world with a can of soda, did they realize they were essentially copying this music video?
Of course, that’s Rosario Dawson, playing the spokesrebel. Rumor has it that Rosario Dawson is currently dating Sen. Cory Booker, who might be our next President. Senator Booker got some attention for himself last year when he announced that he was having an “I am Spartacus” moment, a reminder that even sitting U.S. senators like to fancy themselves as being revolutionaries. Being a rebel pays.
Enjoy!
Eight prep school students leaves their graduation party, board a small plane, and head off for a weekend to be held on a private island resort. However, the plane hits a storm and crashes into the ocean. Though their pilot dies, the students manage to make it to a nearby island. At first, the island seems deserted but then Cowboy (Jim Youngs) comes across a backpack full of spam and vodka.
