Merry-Go-Round Water Pumps


This organization distributes water pumps to areas of the world that are in desperate need of clean water. The pumps, however, are powered by children's merry-go-rounds. The more they play, the more clean water is produced for the whole village.

What a great idea!

Confronting the Genocide in Darfur

In 2003, the government of Sudan closed Darfur to investigators and aid workers. A year later, filmmaker Philip Cox entered the region to make this short documentary report. Film includes interviews with victims and Sudanese soldiers.


The Sudanese government has repeatedly denied that anything is going on in Darfur. Earlier this year, UN Watch confronted the leaders of Sudan and it's allies - Syria, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and China - over claims that Sudan has been vilified and that the reports of genocide and mass rape are part of a conspiracy against its government.

Vulture Funds

Investigative reporter Greg Palast visited Air America's Randi Rhodes Show to talk about how Bush's buddies are stealing millions of dollars from the charitable funds that were donated by Congress for AIDS relief in Africa. And Bush knows about it and hasn't done a damn thing to stop it.
This will just make you sick with rage...

Freaks of Nature

Unbelievable amateur video of a showdown, between lions, crocodiles & water buffalo, at a watering hole in South Africa's Kruger National Park. This is so amazing. (For those who are squeamish, I promise you a satisfying ending.)


This vacation video features an elephant named Mara who likes to fuck with tourists.


I can't stop laughing at the poor girl who shot this clip of a cheetah, in the Masai Mara region of Kenya.


Okay, now this clip comes from a National Geographic program, and it tells the story of a baboon and a leopard. Problem is, it's in like Danish or Turkish, or something. But you don't need to know the language at all to know what's going on. And this will just slay you. It's so beautiful. (There's a version of this available in English, but it's incomplete.)


If you didn't totally lose it after the last one, here is the ultimate tear-jerker: "Baby of Mine" from Dumbo. (Get the Kleenex!)
