Its been 53 years since Ghana gained its independence! Some people take this day as a day to go raving to celebrate Ghana and some people don’t really care; but for me it is more about acknowledging the best things about my country and appreciating them! I haven’t got all day to sit here and write an essay again so I won’t talk too much..
My God. It has happened again! this time in Chile. what the hell is going on in 2010? 2 massive world disasters in the first two months. The earthquake hit at 3:34am today with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale which makes it one of the worst earthquakes ever. So far over 140 deaths have been counted Just as we thought things couldn’t get any worse the earthquake also triggered a Tsunami which is navigating its way around the Pacific Ocean and set to arrive in Hawaii in a few hours time. It’s surreal that we’re all waiting for it to happen and have no power whatsoever to prevent it from happening despite all of our technological advances. It’s scary to say the least. Information on how to donate and photos after the jump.

Was surfing the CNN website and I came across the an article about the results for Michael Jackson‘s autopsy and it turns out that the charge against Conrad Murray of: Involuntary Manslaughter could be true. The results showed that MJ had overdosed on half dozen different drugs which were given to him by Murray. The autopsy also revealed white patches on MJ’s skin that is a result of his diagnosis of Vitiligo (proves he didn’t turn himself white on purpose), it’s actually quite sad that it took his death to prove this..

I was watching TV with my little sister, by little I mean 17 year old sister when this came on and sh*t it’s pretty effective and scary. The ‘Why Let Drink Decide?‘ campaign is aimed at Parents who have teenage children as they’re most likely to try it. They want parents to know that it’s never too late or early to talk to their children about the effects of alcohol. It’s a really powerful campaign created by W+K London for DSCF. So I guess I better warn my sister before she turns 18, uh oh. Check it out above and more info after the cut.

Today is Dr King Day in the United States which marks the birth date Dr Martin Luther King Jr. It’s a day that unites people of all nationalities and teaches us to love our fellow man because as Dr. King once said ‘at the centre of non violence stands the principle of love’. Dr. King devoted his life to the causes of equality and social justice so that we today may live in a better place.

Hopenhagen is a movement generated by the International Advertising Association representing the global advertising industry in support of the United Nations Climate Change Conference that just recently took place in Copenhagen. I only just stumbled across this clever public awareness campaign by Ogilvy & Mather agency yesterday; the style of ad has been done before with the overlapping images of people from different ethnic backgrounds but the copy is what does it for me, its so powerful. “6.8 billion people. One Voice. Together we can fight climate change. Join the movement at Hopenhagen.org” More posters and video from this campaign after the cut.
