Sixpence None the Richer - Don't Dream It's Over
'Tis actually a baby Lamb and, for a pop group of an Evangelical Christian background (from the southern United States no less), the imagery has overt "religious" implications.
Moreover, I feel obliged to mention that this song has a rather ardent appreciation within the modern Evangelical culture - interpreted through a vastly different paradigm than that of its author (maestro Neil Finn). I've heard this song performed at everything from youth camps to evening Worship services.
Between the imagery of the woman (Ms. Nash) giving the Lamb to younger little girl, the strange dreamlike imagery of airplanes & parachutes, as well as the "freedom" and "peace" imagery (normally associated with socio-political activism), I gather this video represents an expression of the zeal of American religious culture towards "ministering" towards the "fallen world" of Western materialistic indulgence.
...or it could just be something that sounded cool/hip/artsy on paper, and seemed "deep" enough to convey a vague "message" without becoming overly didactic.
Wow that's fubared
It must be nice to live in a city so devoid of actual crime that some punk skateboarders warrant this much aggressive attention. However, I wasn't much impressed with this officer's ability to whip the asses of a couple skinny teenagers - I'd hate to see what would happen if he actually had to take on a grown man. But seriously...
From what little context is offered, it seems as though this cop pulled a power trip and the kids got smart with him - "forcing" him to save face by acting all legalistic about city ordinances.
I skateboarded as a kid and had to deal with plenty of these types from time to time, but police officers run a spectrum peripheral to that of the human race: some are obnoxious jerks looking for a fight and others are decent folks just doing their job.
Sure, the kids probably shouldn't have acted a certain way... but this cop is WAY out of line.

It's an American television program, why shouldn't it feature American-centric sports?
Y'know, I'm not a Golf fan at all but that shot by Tiger Woods is incredible. I watched this clip two or three times just to see it again.
..and Wycheck's pass was totally a forward lateral. It should have been whistled down and penalized five yards. Still a fantastic demonstration of athleticism.
