I’m As Mad As Hell! [Video]

by Sarosh Waiz on February 1, 2010 in Random, Videos with 1 Comment

One of my student’s shared this video on Facebook, and this is from an old English movie called Network (1976). It really inspired me, so I thought I’d paste it on my blog for all the people to realize what the traditional media is doing to us. We need such a revolution for our country and we need to get up and bring that change ourselves rather than sitting on our seats and expecting the corrupt politicians and the so called higher authorities to do something about it! Long Live Pakistan!

Check out the video below and share it if you get what I am talking about!

The McDonald’s Rap

by Sarosh Waiz on November 21, 2009 in Random, Videos with No comments

Just though I’d drop in for a random post today. In fact I couldn’t resist posting this up. Yea Yea .. I know its old.. I have seen it a long time back too .. but just got a chance to watch this video again today.. so I thought I’d put it up on my blog to share.

Interesting rap by this guy about McDonald’s. The video is shared on Youtube, and he has done other rap videos as well.. but this one just caught my attention.

That’s the power of consumers talking about a brand. Every brand strives to get to this stage… I’ve done too much talking I guess.. I should stop .. and you better watch the video if you haven’t .. So here goes:

Disability Campaign: We Dont Need Your Pity! We Need Respect!

by Sarosh Waiz on October 23, 2009 in Random, Videos with No comments

Since I had a chance to take a PR (Public Relation) course in the summers in order to complete the course count for my MBA, we had to make a PR video campaign as our project. We were a group of a good 8 to 9 people and had to come up with a campaign, through which we can create awareness in SZABIST for disabled students. At present SZABIST does not have a wheel chair friendly environment, and hence we had to focus on creating awareness within SZABIST and then drive a change. Because we were targeting an internal audience, we made the following clips on a few assumptions. The tagline we used in order to keep synergy among all our videos was “We dont need your pity! We need respect!” … I’m starring (=P) in the first video, but this was discarded, as I assume, the teacher thought I was the only one who worked. But oh well.. do check the following clips and give your feedback…

1st Clip – 45 sec

2nd Clip – 45 sec

3rd Clip – 30 sec

4th Clip (Alternate) – 30 sec

If you don’t understand anything, please feel free to leave a message and I would be more than happy to reply back…

Exciting Prison!!

by Sarosh Waiz on May 19, 2009 in Random, Videos with No comments

We’ve all heard about how horrible and scary prisons can be, haven’t we? But I was browsing Youtube today, when I saw a video named ”Thriller” (original upload) with a thumbnail showing guys wearing orange clothes. I didn’t know what it was about, however I anticipated that it looked like a choreographed dance or something. Since I have been one of the biggest fan of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, I was tempted to click on it.. that I did of course.

I was surprised to see that the video is of a Prison called CPDRC (Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center), which is a maximum security prison in Cebu, in the Cebu Province, the Philippines. Before I carry on with the history and details about the CPDRC, check out the video below. For the first time after watching this video, I thought maybe prisons are not that bad after all …

Thriller – CPDRC

I was intrigued by watching this video, and I thought to dig out more and find out what this prison CPDRC is all about. The dance choreography was started by Byron Garcia, who was the official security advisor to the Cebu government and was assigned the head of the prison by Gwendolyn Garcia (his brother), governor of Cebu Province. Byron initially wanted to introduce a program at CPDRC, where the prisoners would exercise for one hour everyday. But when he saw the waves of of prisoners exercising together, he thought of introducing marching routines with drums, but later moved on to making them dance on music.

Byron Garcia has his own Youtube Channel which can be accessed here. He first uploaded a prisoner choreography named Algorithm March, but that video was entirely ignored by the youtube population. But the next upload, “Thriller – by Michael Jackson” choreography, the one I posted above, got great publicity. In December 2007, the Thriller video of the CPDRC inmates was rated 5th of the top 10 viral videos by Times Magazine.

Google to find out more about the CPDRC. Check out some more videos by the CPDRC inmates below:

Kung-Fu: Bruce Lee vs. Robert Wall (Video)

by Sarosh Waiz on May 3, 2009 in Random, Videos with No comments

A Kung-Fu fight scene from Bruce Lee’s movie “Enter the Dragon” released in 1973. Great reflexes, amazing acrobatics and solid kicks by Bruce Lee send Robert Hall back home. A treat to watch!

I remember practicing some basic exercises of this great game about 7 to 8 years back with a Mathematics teacher of mine who was crazy about Martial Arts, specifically Kung-Fu.

Though I was not able to carry it on after a few months, but it does make a person ROCK SOLID for sure, with a good body shape.
