Monty Python - Exploding Penguin ("Burma!")

In the wake of the devastating cyclone that hit Burma on 2 May, the Burma Campaign UK today launched a new video and poster campaign to highlight the ongoing disaster in Burma – the military dictatorship. The new animated film ‘The Real Disaster’ was created by Ogilvy Advertising and is narrated by famous comedian Ricky Gervais. It tells the story of a little girl called Khin Mar, who survived Cyclone Nargis but whose village is later destroyed by the military dictatorship. The message is ‘The real disaster in Burma is the government’.

Here are some of the scenes I saw along Route 66 in Arizona and California, during my recent wonderful motorcycle ride around the Southwest. The video also includes some examples of the Burma Shave ads. Here are a few websites that talk about these famous, highly entertaining ads, which were seemingly EVERYWHERE on the highways “in the old days”: http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/Departments/hpolscrv/mthomas.htm http://www.fiftiesweb.com/burma.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave http://www.signindustry.com/outdoor/articles/2000-02-15-giveusbackourburmashave.php3 The "Hollow Mountain" store and gas station is actually on a road that's north of Route 66, but it's funky nature fits right in with many of the quirky places on Route 66, so I included it in the video as well. There's an entire store carved into that mountain, with restrooms and storage rooms, etc. The store owner confirmed for me that the rock is a great natural insulator, so they never have to use heat during the winter, and only need air conditioning in the summer because of the heat that the refrigerator cooling units put out. The song for the video is three different versions of “Route 66”, one by Depeche Mode, one by Chuck Berry, and the final version by the Rolling Stones.

FREE BURMA: Speaking for those who have been silenced. From Atlanta to Finland, from Ottawa to Vienna, concerned world citizens support the Burmese people who have been killed, beaten and jailed for demanding freedom and democracy. Cherish all living beings. May all beings be at ease. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mptsb_EY4yo Artemis Productions artemisproductions@earthlink.net www.youtube.com/artemisthedrummer

A musical montage of the struggle for peace and freedom being undertaken by our brothers and sisters in Burma. May the Buddha and devas protect the brave Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, Upasakas, and Upasikas. Jaya Mangala!
