Video pokes fun at people’s “liking” various causes on Facebook

There are a lot of things wrong with this world, yet clicking the “like” button on Facebook does absolutely nothing to solve any of these problems.

This is what UNICEF says in a new ad made available to you in the video above.

The idea is fairly simple: while it is very much true that sitting on one's rear end doing nothing can make one feel really bad about themselves, it is also true that Facebook likes mean squat.

By the looks of it, the ad was meant for people in Sweden, yet few can deny that residents of other countries might also have something to learn from watching it.

“I liked this video. Well, my job is done for today,” reads one witty comment to this video. Well, I've actually blogged about the video, so I suppose I've met my good deeds quota for this year.
