Popular singer Sarah McLachlan stars in this video, which highlights with graphics and music the normal cost of producing a contemporary video and some alternate ways that money could be spent. For instance, the hair and makeup expenses for a video shoot would cost about $5,000 for a day in Los Angeles. Or, that money could provide a year of schooling for 145 girls in Afghanistan. By the way, this video cost $15 and the bulk of the normal expenses was spent on schools, orphanages and meals in several developing countries.

    WOW! That's totally brilliant. It constantly angers and disgusts me how people can spend so much money on stuff they do not need, normally out of vanity, and mistakenly thinking they need this stuff (advertising is evil). In magazines and newspapers they will have articles about war-torn countries, and then in the style pages show obscenely expensive clothes an home-furnishings. In the 21st century, with all we know about the world, how is it still acceptable to spend $2000 on a handbag, or $600 on a lampbase? If you must, spend $100 on the lamp, and give $500 to someone who needs it. I really hope this video gets this message across to as many people as possible.
