They get personal, trigger emotions, tell a compelling story, create an enemy, in some ways created a community or movement ("join our army for peace"), show people listening to Jason's speeches (social proof), use scarcity ("Time is running out...this movie expires on December 31, 2012"), give a simple solution (Donate; in order to buy a bracelet and an action kit to help market it further.
