First, I was searching for the BBC documentary film "One Year in Tibet". It is a pity that it is not available from the BBC iplayer web site for non-UK. Accidentally, I found this blog page. It is a great surprise! :D There are two episodes on that post. The film is really interesting, especially under the current circumstance (the tense situation in Lhasa or near areas).
Another interesting video is The Fake Trade. Here my interest is very obviously since I am a Chinese. :D China is THE country on that hot list. I am not proud of it. It may seem not harmful to buy a fake bag or a pair of sunglasses. However, it is scary to buy fake medicines or food. At least, I don' t want a world like that. People is losing their trust in things they are buying...in people they are buying those things from...or in the society. In China, we say we are losing public trust 社会公信.
One interesting question arising here is why we buy fake products. The material desire??? We are born-to-be customers? I think the story of stuff has pointed out the problem. Ironically, American fashion magazine Bazaar held the press conference to announce their web site: Fakes Are Never in Fashion.com??? In fact, I think the fashion industries are the problem! Every page of each magazine is sending a wrong message to people: you are defined by the material things you own. In the video, a woman told interviewer that the fake bags she owns are definitely knockout, fake but cheap and with good quality. In deed, it is a knockout if you get a fake bag in less than 100 euros and a real one costs over thousand pounds. By the way, she was doing a botoxing. She is fake too! :D
There is a campaign on the homepage of “Fakes are Never in Fashion”. You can make a design. The winning design will be produced on limited-edition T-shirts???? Limited-edition, how ironical!
