S'pore uses rap video to promote media growth
Just found this Yo! Singapore story on Reuters. You gotta love the creativity in this gov't-made YouTube creation. I wonder if anyone in the Canadian government would ever rap for us online to promote growth in the media industry?
UPDATE: There is already of spoof of the vid online.

Hi Amber, great find but MP's doing music videos is not that new, at least not in the UK. In 1982 the Labour MP Neil Kinnock starred, if you can call it that, in a music video with Tracey Ullman for her single 'My Guys mad at me'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKDCKBsPFWQ OK, he doesn't actually sing, and only appears after about 2 mins, but it does go to explain why it took Labour years to get back into power. Or more recent, there's George W. Bush and Tony Blair singing "Endless Love." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8rr6fz1hQQ Yes I know this one is just a spoof video, but its really well done and funny. Hope you find them funny, L&L

One other thing, Why do I now want to go out and buy a new Cisco Router? Are you sure this isn't just an advert paid for by Cisco Systems? They seem to sing the words 'Get Cisco, we don't stop, Get connected Worldwide' over and over again, is this some new form of subliminal advertising? Oh, and Amber, thanks for the heads up about definr.com, it can in useful for writing this message. So does anybody know of a good but cheap Cisco Router?
