Military camp for kids.
Long time reader and fan Will Daggart (hey he said he was, I swear) sent me this link to a YouTube video for Camp Okutta, a summer camp that offers military training - like grenades and minefields - for children.
It turns out that the video is actually part of what seems to be a campaign by War Child Canada to inform the public of the unfortunate lives of children in war torn areas:
War Child Canada is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing urgently needed humanitarian assistance to war-affected children around the world. War Child Canada helps generate awareness, support and advocacy for children's rights everywhere.
Unfortunately some people think that it is all too real:
Some Torontonians didn't realize the blue, tree-motif posters were a hoax. Sarah Heywood told CBC News that she flew into a rage when she saw the ads on Queen Street West."It just brought up so much anger in me," Heywood said. "I immediately thought, wow, this is real, this is happening, people are now actually providing these kinds of services and opportunities for people who actually allow their children to go and experience something like that here in Canada."
Perhaps this campaign is better played out on the web rather than on a poster.
