On the contrary, the purpose of the "first world problems" internet gag is to convey exactly this message; first world problems are not problems. Regardless, this video makes a striking contrast.
How about somebody sends this video to the governments that created terrible lives for their population instead of making us feel guilty? Our problems are clearly not equal, but that's just because we've created an awesome society that works.
It does put things into perspective, though. No matter who's fault it is that people live in such awful conditions, I get very tired of people who live a very good life complaining about things that are a product of their wealthy lifestyle.
