Catch the Land Mine !! Win a free prosthetic device !!

Yes, the sight of a dancing land mine, aping the movements of web ads like "Shock the Monkey and win $20 !" is meant to be chilling. The land mine situation in countries like Cambodia is anything but laughable. As the Web becomes a place increasingly dominated by frivolous lottery games and the shallow 'interpretive' news sites which media conglomerates think will attract more readers, a committed group of people continue to use the Internet along lines much more in keeping with a medium that can raise global consciousness. Groups like Clearlandmines.com and the many other non-profit groups from which the research for this site came should be applauded for their continuing efforts to use a global communication medium to foster humanitarian projects. For those of you who like to know when you've 'finished' a random access work like this one, the following information will be of interest. The 'game' offers ten possible 'winning' responses, which randomly link back to ten screens of visual/text information. At times you may feel caught in a loop. This is not unintentional. Jennifer Ley is the editor of Riding the Meridian and a literary web artist. Her first project about mines in Cambodia, Ex[re]pression -- Who Speaks for the People, was published by Sunbrella.net, and will be published later this year by the web cd/rom magazine, DOC(K)S.
