How do you reach 2 million youth in 2 days? Myspace.com. World Can’t Wait put out two days of ads on Myspace this past week and is building on the momentum by placing two more days of ads this week ( Oct. 1st-3rd). Click below for a report on the response to the Myspace ad and a sample of responses from youth around the country.
World Can’t Wait’s ad run over the course of two days
reached two million people and flooded our Myspace page with letters and people
signing up. Whether they loved us or
hated us; the World Can’t Wait ad provoked a strong response from youth around
the country. The advertisements reached
into areas where criticizing the president of the United States is unheard of
and challenged people’s view on war, Katrina and the extreme nature of the Bush
Administration.
Thousands of people are visiting our Myspace page and
signing up. We have just began to
scratch the surface. Hundreds of people
are featuring World Can’t Wait on their Myspace page and our campaign on
Myspace has the potential to reach tens of millions of people.
Below is a sample of comments and people who
wrote to us off of the Myspace Advertisements:

the best thing that has been done for this country in awhile thank you.”

“Bush: Proof that we (America) never completely won our
war against oppression and imperialism. I encourage fellow politically-motivated high-school students to rise up
against this shroud of tyranny, and stand up for Liberty and Equality for ALL!”

“I’ll never talk to Bush, but he told me what he thought
about me when Katrina hit New Orleans”.
