This is a perfect example of the state of media now, and what it will be in the next few years: the artist has taken something from the collective consciousness, reimagined it using new technology, spread it using the internet, and it has touched something personal for you (Jonah). That's beautiful, and anyone who thinks it's disrespectul, or that it's not art: enjoy your newspapers.

Not for the humanity, Roger. You are missing my point. For me it is about an individual experience and feeling.

yes yes YES. I'm peter's probably only black friend and for some reason that could have been rascist, he said, “John, watch this”. I did, and I'm convinced that I'm a new believer in our society's acceptance of people, it's progression towards a more accepting community and it's movement away from social injustices. I'm also a new believer in buzzfeed, and thanks pete for letting me post on his account. love and peace

I have been saying the exact same thing to anyone who will listen! Around the 3rd time I listened to it, it hit me and I FELT IT.

It is possible for something to be superficial and deep at the same time - trite but you still FEEL something. This particular video might not do it for you but SOMETHING out there will. Something that will surprise you. You will find yourself crying at a stupid TV commercial, day dreaming about a silly viral video, or becoming philosophical about a trash reality TV show. We can't choose the world that surrounds us but we can choose how we look at it, when we allow ourselves to feel, when we open ourselves up to more than cynicism and narcissism. This video did that for me.

i am forever amazed at are ability to make the
profound, inane and trite.  a good friend once told me “keep your worlds separate”  buzzfeeders, don't try to be deep  you will always FAIL

dude, I think… YUP!! I'M FUCKIN FEELIN IT JONAH!!

Mike: Not being ironic. Why do you think it is anything other than a creative and moving tribute?

I hope you're trying to be funny or ironic because this was horrible the first time it was posted and it's horrible now. This is a very disrespectful video.

i'm glad you reposted. thank you
