Do Angry Birds make youth happier in Bhutan?

In 2012, I posted about the Angry Birds phenomena in Bhutan and how popular the computer game was among the youth. Also I wrote about the International Day of Happiness which is celebrated every year on March 20th and was inspired by Bhutan's Gross National Happiness. 

Now, for this year's Happiness Day, Angry Birds and Happiness meet! Watch the special videos to decide if Angry Birds - in other words: modernity - increases happiness in Bhutan or not.

In this video UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon also becomes an Angry Bird:

Do you know Angry Birds? If not, you are disconnected from Bhutanese pop culture. About one out of three kids and young people is wearing Angry Birds t-shirt here. Even under their gho (and maybe under their kira, too, but I've never checked this). Probably even more play the computer game. 

There is another game called Happy Birds , but it's not really successful. Human nature is a mystery. Somehow it's much more fun to shoot out living angry birds as bullets trying to kill sheltered pigs. I wonder what's next.... Maybe marijuana fed flying pigs will take revenge !

UPDATE ON 20 March 2016: Watch the new trailer for the Angry Birds Movie just created of the International Day of Happiness.
