Well sorry, but things like this make me blub. There's hope.

Hmm, I suspect somebody was inspired by the Jill and Kevin wedding dance. There are little homages all over the video to that, even the music is similar although it's Jay Sean and not the more problematic Chris Brown.

It's a bit bitterweet when you consider that some of the cleaning staff in the video won't have the health insurance that would enable breast cancer awareness to be meaningful

Of course, but this comes across to me as a genuine expression of solidarity. I've also seen an interview with the makers who said that the older man cleaner in the corridor lost his mother to breast cancer and he was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the project.

That wedding dance was a meme built on many preceding memes. I could show you some stuff I did with Harry Nilsson and the Stepney & Pinner choir club that might lay some claim as a forerunner. (Look for 'Did somebody drop his mouse' on YouTube. I got very pissed off with the awful Mr Nilsson at one point and put a dead mouse we found in the Soho studio at the bass end of his piano in the shadows before a take. Hence title of as yet unreleased rockumentary. Richard Perry was a prat too - getting a barber to come in and do his Afro while he sat in the producer's chair. "Never work with children, animals or speeded-up AND sozzled musicians". Nicky Hopkins was nice though)

That and the choice of music are irrelevant to me: the Pink Glove video simply showed humans at their best. I guess I am an optimist.

I don't know, but I assume the whole thing will be in 10 minute segments labelled part 1, part 2 etc.
