First World Problems Read By Third World People

[TalkingDog]

A new ad campaign from charitable organization Water is Life features Haitian children and adults reading the everyday gripes and minor irritations first world citizens post on Twitter with the popular #FirstWorldProblems hashtag...

Entitled "First World Problems Anthem," the 1-minute video features "complaints" like this one, read by a woman standing outside a house: "I hate it when my neighbors block their wifi." Or this one, read by a young boy standing among pigs and chickens: "I hate when I tell them no pickles, and they still give me pickles."

Produced by ad agency DDB NY, the spot by for Water for Life is meant to raise awareness of the nonprofit's efforts to provide clean drinking water in countries like India and Haiti.

First World Problem: Sun melts Monopoly pieces
Second World Problem: 800 degree F sulfuric acid atmosphere too opaque to see stars.
Third World Problem: Too many jerks, not enough clean water.

5. One of my Afghan friends hates the phrase "first world problems"
