The Deal:
Here's the deal. I, Dani California, want you, people of the world, to be part of my music video standing up against labels, discrimination, and hate. I want everyone to take this one chance and use their cameras, and themselves, to help as well.
This is going to be a video to the song (Coffee's for closers) by Fall Out Boy, and will be embedded below for you to give it a listen. You don't have to like the music, but I would love to get everyone I can on this project.
What I want:
I want you, the reader, to make a short video of yourself with a label. I want that label to be on you, anywhere that's appropriate meaning anywhere that isn't your boobies, or personal parts, and cross it out. You can write it in anything you want to, as well. Take that label you wrote on your forehead, inner arm, whatever and cross it out. Put a big line through it, x it out, wipe it off, whatever. Just show that you aren't what people label you.
Make sure the video is no longer then about 1 to 1 and a half minutes long. And please, try not to use the same label as everyone else. There are so many that are never used, offensive ones like dyke, cunt, bitch, skank, ect, that I'd love to see as well.
Just take a word that everyone affiliates with you, write it on your body on camera and eliminate it.
If you read this, and still have a question, please check the F.A.Q and if your question isn't there, please email it to me. I'll get right to you.
Where to send:
Once you've destroyed that negative label and caught in on camera. Send your video to this email address (GerardLover4999@aol.com) or in a (screened)comment below with the help of Rapidshare or Megaupload, with your name and why you chose that label. No need for paragraphs, all I need is one sentence and you're done.
"Never, "for the sake of peace and quiet," deny your own experience or convictions." - Quote by Dag Hammarskjold.
p.s. For all of those who want to take a swing at it, read this monologue at the end your video, after you've eliminated the label from your life:
"Life is our choice, our colors our own and so are our words. If we don't stand up against hate, then no one will, and until that day, I will never believe in anything again."
Please note that you can take a bit longer, if you do read the monologue. You can take as long as you need. I plan on mashing all of there different types of people, these different different personalities and faces, and making something that will shake everyone's hearts.
We have one voice, one chance, one world. Let's make it count.
