Wassup homiez (forgive me, it's 8 in the morning and I can't get back to sleep)!

Just wanted to share this awesome video with you peeps. It was directed by the late Heath Ledger and is meant to raise awareness to the whole illegal commercial whaling taking place in his native Australia. Proceeds from the iTunes video downloads of the "King Rat" video will go toward Sea Shepherd Conservation Society; they're an international non-profit marine wildlife conservation organization. And since Singapore is lame and doesn't have iTunes, you can actually visit the website to make a donation or even volunteer your time.

The video itself is really interesting. Dancing whales smoking cigars? Awesome, yet disturbing at the same time. The press release by the band has more details on how the video came about and also the message behind it.

We all know Heath was a cool guy, but this definitely asserts the point. And damn it, I miss him :(

Alrighty then, have a good National Day weekend everyone.

Hungry and in need of sleep,

Diy
