Years ago I worked on a website which raised money for a South African park project, and it was far, far tougher trying to get noticed there than on most of the commercial sites I&#8217;ve worked with.<br />
So I was extremely impressed with the approach this Belgian company took to getting their message across</p>
<p>(tip of the hat to <a href="http://www.donorpowerblog.com/donor_power_blog/2008/10/to-get-people-t.html">Donor Power Blog</a>, where I came across this):</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_e6RO5NTqQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_e6RO5NTqQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Unlike the &#8216;edgy&#8217; <a href="http://www.thetruth.com/">Truth </a>stunts and videos, which appear to be trying way too hard, this campaign actually worked, not only in raising awareness of the issue, but (more importantly?) dollars too. Well, Euros.</p>
