Here’s a very cool video promo for a cause you may not expect:
[Video]The link comes from a friend of Bill Whittle’s, Dana Commandatore, with a note about the motivation of the clip:
I’m the mother of a 6 year old autistic boy who has had enough of the pseudo-science quackery that Jenny McCarthy and Oprah are pitching to parents of kids with autism. It is impossible for someone of my status to deliver a counter-message, but I may have found a way. I used what Jenny used to get her attention, sex. A model and family friend Leeann Tweedeen immediately saw the tongue-in-cheek nature of my idea and ran with it. The result is http://www.rethinkingautism.com.
If you read the first page and then click on the video link you’ll see what it’s all about.
(There are more videos at the link in that quote.)
