I need a TED icebreaker video! How do I get someone hooked?

I strongly feel like exposing high school and college students could really change our future, because we are the future. I find, however, showing someone a video with someone talking about statistics or dependence on oil doesn't particularly peak the interest of most of my fellow students. I need a talk that is exciting or up-beat or something! I want to get my generation's foot in the TED door. Maybe we can start spreading all of these "ideas worth spreading"!

    May 27 2012: Mitch, great idea!
    Did you happen to see Jonathan Foley: The other inconvenient truth? He has quite a good short video at the end of his talk. It is approachable and interesting to me at least. I hope I am on track here. Good luck!
