It's a very very....mad world...
One of the saddest video cartoons I've ever seen...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY-Kjw7ERes

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races
Going no where
Going no where

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

And to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

1. think blue posted this in my thread earlier
is the kiwi committing suicide? That really made me sad to watch. I thought perhaps he was trying to pull a tree up to where he lived and then he gave up but I couldn't quite make out what was going on.

2. He just wants to know how it feels to fly...

He's willing to die, in order to fly. His dreams mean that much to him.

Perhaps there's a lesson there for the rest of us, eh?

That makes sense...I don't think I'll be watching it again, it's a real tear-jerker.

4. That's pretty powerful stuff for a little cartoon
I wasn't sure what he was trying to do until almost the end. Thanks for posting.
