 "Brilliant" with a Surprise Ending
 
 video BELOW (Under 2 min.)
 

"A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. 
This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. 
Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is exactly the opposite.
This is only 1 minute and 44 seconds and it is brilliant. 
Make sure you read as well as listen...forward and backward.
This video was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. 
The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. 
This video won second place. 
When they showed it, everyone in the room was awestruck.
They broke into  spontaneous applause. 
So simple and yet so brilliant. 
It is worth watching.
