These fashion models try to make diarrhea sexy

This video tricks models into giving a public service announcement. They try to say very serious things in a sexy voice but it shakes them up because they know they are talking about terrible tragedy. People need to see this because it has sexiness but also talks about a cause which should be heard around the world. While many of us in the United States feel comfortable living our lives, there are wars and diseases around the world. There are many preventable deaths around the world and we need to wake up to the facts. We should care because it could be our children one day dying from war or disease.

+ Who

Save the Children USA are the ones who paid for and produced this video. In the video they claim to have run an ad for Sexy Models in the NYC area. These models seem to know what they are doing as they start to read sexy lines which they think are going to be used for a sexy brand. You start to think the lines are for something like a cologne commercial. However, this video is solely for the purpose of sending a message about children dying in countries where there is war.

+ Where

This video was made in New York City. They appear to have a standard photo shoot set up. It looks like a shoot for any other modelling agency in New York. The viewer can assume the shoot takes place near the headquarters for Save the Children USA. New York City is full of people competing to be a model. This is why New York City is an interesting place to host this type of Public Service Announcement.

+ What

At 0:06 you can see the models coming into the building. You can assume they are clueless about the job they are auditioning for. At 0:09 the director tells the models this shoot is going to be for a very sexy brand. He also tells them they are going to read sexy lines from a board. At 0:24 they have the models say the line, “What are your deepest desires”. At this point the viewer can laugh a little at the ridiculousness. at 0:56 they have one of the male models talk about how many children die each year. They have him say it in a very seductive tone. At 1:02 the director tells the models they are not being sexy enough. He makes it seem like it is their fault. The models feel very unsure of themselves. At 1:41 one of the models says “Diarrhoea” in a sexy tone. This is where the models start to really question why they are saying these things.
