Comedy and campaigning

I've been browsing around on YouTube and found some great comedy videos on nuclear disarmament. You might think that it's a bit weird to mix comedy and nuclear weapons, but it is really effective.

Check out these songs by Weird Al Yankovic and Tom Lerher.

I hope you enjoy them - if you find anything else with a nuclear theme it would be great if you could send us a link!

I'm beginning to think that comedy is one of the best methods of raising awareness for a campaign. It makes complex issues really accessible and entertaining. Anyone who doesn't believe me should check out some of Tina Fey's sketches on last year's US election!

We've just about got a campaign plan document together. It's taken ages, but hopefully it will help lots more people get interested in disarmament and non-proliferation.
