Radiohead Join Forces With MTV's Campaign Against Human Trafficking For 'Al
2008-04-30 08:45:00 Frontman Thom Yorke calls clip, which debuts across all MTV channels on Thursday, 'quite powerful.'By James Montgomery Radiohead's Thom Yorke Photo: XL Thom Yorke has never been one to keep his political views to himself. And when he was contacted by MTV to take part in a campaign against human trafficking, he decided to play things close to the vest. Because, as he sees it, the issue isn't a political one at all. "It's cool that MTV is taking this up, because normally, this is something I only get to talk to people about who are considered 'extreme left-wing' or whatever, but it's good it's hitting the mainstream, because I don't consider it a left-wing issue; I consider it a political-stability issue," he told MTV UK. "I think if [the campaign] does one good thing, it would be to make this concept of slavery — which is what it is — less taboo. If they can make it something that is OK for us to talk about, and for politicians in the West to actually...

Human Trafficking - My Feelings
2007-12-18 12:50:00 Human trafficking is one of the largest and most profitable business of all time. The sale of human beings can be transacted over and over again unlike drugs or other consumable goods. Sadly to say, it is also one of the most atrocious thing that can happen to any woman or man. In a documentary i watched recently, i am very surprised and disappointed to hear that there are 800,000 people trafficked across international borders. After watching that one documentary on human trafficking, i have gained a relatively strong feeling against the trafficking of human.First of all, as a normal human being, i can never comprehend how can someone of the same species as me be able to do something so cruel and inhumane. How can they even force the woman into submission through fear and terror? For a man, sexual pleasure is gained from having sex but one question remains, do man pleasure more from seeing the tears and pain in the eyes of their victims? I have no wish to find out that myself but ap...
