i think you're probably right. it's my own self-centered snobbery in a way, that i forget that the majority of people don't think like me (no offense to the masses), and i don't realize that there are people who actually do need to be reminded of these atrocities. it's definitely true that people have become apathetic, but you're right that it's a far cry from genocide. perhaps as a result of my warped view of society, i'm reminded of the holocaust on a weekly basis, and frankly, i think it's hard for me to watch commercials like this because they're almost too real. also, and this may again be a result of my own cynicism, i don't know if the mtv audience can appreciate that kind of commercial. if you're sitting at home watching "next" or "room raiders", i don't know if a counter-culture ad like this will have any influence. then again, perhaps these are exactly the kind of people who need to be influenced. i actually think the commercial (in the house) is very powerful, but i think it would have a much larger impact outside of the mtv environment.
