You tend to want attention when you're sharing an important message, and it kinda worked. A lot of people have now seen a message that wouldn't have been seen by almost anyone had they not done that.
This was a viral stunt from a daredevil couple with a documentary coming out on netflix.
That's why the sign had nothing to say other than boring platitudes.
Seriously, why is everyone so taken with these people? They did nothing but promote themselves.
People are dumb as fuck. Took me 10 seconds to find them as cnn was like “who are they? Who does this? Watch us pretend we dont know this is an ad!”
Because I'm sure so many people had this sudden epiphany upon seeing them that "ohhh, the power of love will bring us peace, not the love of power, I've had it backwards this whole time! Come on everybody, let's all sing kumbaya together."
Like everyone singing at the end of Elf. That doesn't happen in real life, this isn't a children's movie. "C'mere, Netanyahu, you old rascal! Let's put aside our differences cause these random stunt artists said so!"
The only people who need to hear that message don't give a fuck about the message.
THEY WANT ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY HAVE A NETFLIX AND DIESEL DEAL.
