Weekend Video Clip (We’re not gonna take it!)

by Karen Lynch

Welcome to the first of many video clips I’m going to share with you all throughout 2008. This one was created by Natasha last October and she posted it on You Tube (nattyemore). I thought I’d share it with you all today:

Don’t you love this video? I’ve never put the Twisted Sister song We’re Not Gonna Take It with the fight for breast cancer before but what a great choice for survivors — the song itself is so empowering. I also got choked up when the mother held her baby close — even a sims2 character can bring tears to my eyes, a cartoon/animated survivor. How powerful!

So … what do you think? Did you like it?

(FYI, I got the idea to post a video clip each weekend from Heather Scoville over at Watching VH1. Thanks, Heather. Meanwhile, if you have a video or make a video and you want to see it showcased here, please send it to my attention at karenmlynch at gmail dot com!)

    Pam, glad you’re joining the virtual party!

    Party … who knew that when we were touched by cancer we’d ever be calling it a party!
