Word-play and word-rewind…

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I love clever word games, play on words etc - and this video takes the biscuit. A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. It was submitted by a 20-year-old in contest entitled “u @ 50″ (run by AARP ) and I think it is simply brilliant. (Make sure you read the text and listen to the whole video.)

Apparently this video won second place. I’d love to know what came in first.
