Joyeux Noel - Christmas Truce




During the first world war the French, Scottish and Germans took a break from the massacre of trench warfare to meet in no lands on Christmas Eve. On Christmas day they had a football match before resuming the carnage of war, but not before sheltering in each other's trenches from the artillery fire.

The Generals and the Bishops were most upset over the Christmas Truce and charged many of them with fraternising with the enemy or sent them to another front of the war.

Joyeux Noel is a must see true story movie about how synthetic war is. 

Poor, largely uneducated people fighting on behalf of rich white men with the flag as their incentive.

Unsung Hero - Sadvertising Feels Less Fake




Instead of being hammered with advertising that sells materialism, ego driven lifestyles and a disregard for the planet and humanity this commercial takes a different route.

I just wonder if there's a way for brands that have sincerity to stand out and stand up for values that don't trash the planet or ignore some of the most important issues that we face as a species?

There's more examples on Sadvertising and Thai commercials over here.
