Videos to Watch

Many people already know the tunes from West Side Story (an excellent Broadway musical with music by Leonard Bernstein), notably “Tonight”. The folks at CollegeHumor have adapted it to make yet another creative and awesome video, entitled “Web Site Story” — applying the music of back then to the technology of today.

Here’s a clip from the movie adaptation of West Side Story featuring the song “Tonight”.

The New York Times “Special Edition” provokes interesting responses from ordinary Americans.

Before you watch the video, let me make clear that I am not in agreement with the stance of this video, nor do I appreciate the attempts of 60 million “evangelical” Christians to force their faith and their values on others. However, I recognize that many people do vote according to their values, which is why you should watch this video. In any case, please leave a comment on this video.

Despite my disagreements, I like the way this video was produced and the music.

Just who are these people? This video reinforces my belief that — although 41% of Canadians didn’t vote in the recent election — Americans know less about politics and government than we do.
