Documentary film exposes worst meme ever
With my new 30 minute commute (each way!) I've finally discovered the value of podcasts. On advice of one of my fellow bloggers who has been conspicuously silent as of late, I added the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders lecture series to my subscriptions.
The first one I listened to today is using film to try to drive social change. They're telling the story of shamans in Zimbabwe who are spreading the meme that raping a virgin girl will cure AIDS--which of course does not. Rather, it psychologically and (perhaps even physically) scars the girl, and quite likely also gives her AIDS. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Can't wait to hear the one released today from Sue Decker on the Evolution of Yahoo!. As an ex Yahoo!, it's pretty sad to see the company foundering so bad for what I believe is lack of solid, visionary leadership.
