The "Really" File - (Celine Dion & the "New Order")

So Celine Dion hasn't had any hits for years now...so this is how she makes herself relevant again in the public arena and get a revived "15 minutes of fame"?...what's that say about our culture?
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,... Romans 1:22

"Celine Dion is the latest major celebrity to attack male/female gender norms. She stars in a new ad that questions who children truly belong to.

Our children. They are not really our children, as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life,” the Canadian singer narrates in an ad released this week. “For us, they are everything. But in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe.”

The spot follows her breaking into a hospital and making her way to the maternity ward, where male and female newborns are evenly divided into blue and pink sides of the room.

We miss the past; they dream of tomorrow,” Dion continues. “We may thrust them forward into the future, but the course will always be theirs to choose.” She then blows black and silver sparkles around the room, erasing the colors on the walls and transforming the babies’ color-coded attire into new black-and-white garb.

The ad then takes a comedic turn, as she’s discovered by security guards and arrested for trespassing, her celebrity status failing to save her from a night in jail.
The spot is advertising a new clothing line by Dion and Nununu, a kids’ clothing designer dedicated to “introducing children to the wonderful mystery of minimalism” ...
From the "Really" File

I’ve always loved nununu and what they represent. Partnering with them to encourage a dialogue of equality and possibility makes so much sense,” Dion said of the partnership.
A “Celinununuwebsite erected specifically for the new line shows offerings in combinations of black, white, gray, and yellow. Most of the designs simply display basic shapes, individual letters, or the alphabet, though skulls and the phrase “New Order” are also recurring motifs.

The website also makes clear the project’s ideological mission to offer a “platform for a new humanistic education.” The product line “liberates children from the traditional roles of boy/girl, and enables younger people to grow on values of equality with the freedom to strengthen their own power of personality based on mutual respect,” the website claims."
