BS: Children Inc. video - need opinions

My business partner and I have been very supportive of this organization for the past year. We still think it is a good organization, but we're not sure what to make of their latest marketing effort, which was apparently made in order to appeal to Generation X'ers.

Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMjGoxbRC6Q

Please have a look and post your reaction on You Tube,be it positive or negative. We're curious to see what others think.

Can't comment on YouTube Mary as I'm not a member.
Personally I found it disjointed, unclear, and WTF is with the voice over at the end?
Sorry, mixed messages in my book.

That's kind of what we though, Alice. We just didn't see what it had to do with the mission of the organization, which is to help needy children.

I posted comments... 3 of them.
Whoever approved this video has done damage to the message of a children's mentoring program.

Well, that's interesting, they deleted my comments.

I guess they can't handle criticism.
