as if making up for the fact that i'm still writing a soul-burying USAID grant, teh internets (specifically jezebel) served me up two awesome videos to watch while i ate my lunch momo at my desk and tried to make sure our capacity building plan for local partners was adequately expressed in our impact logframe.
the first is actually pertinent to my last post on consciousness and reggae and hip-hop. two ten year old girls calling themselves watoto from the nile lay down the track "Letter to Lil Wayne".

"...a direct statement of justice from Watoto From The Nile. Growing tired and fed up with the constant degredation of Black women inside of Hip Hop music, they voice their views and opinions on this melodic track"
i already knew that old spice's BRILLIANT "the man your man could smell like" ad campaign was done without any CGI (except for the diamonds part in the first one, i think), but it was still really fun to watch this behind the scenes segment (additional brilliant marketing strategy) on the making of the new commercial.
the almost impossibly dreamy isaiah mustafa isn't the ONLY reason these are my favorite commercials of all time (except for maybe this), but let's just say i've never been so glad i learned how to do screen grabs.
