some of those actors are skinnier than the poverty victims...figures
I got a link to this video from Oxfam Canada today. I guess they figure that celebrities are more convincing than the once-popular kid-with-the-flies-on-his-face.
My feeling on the subject:
whatever works.

i do like the minimalism of the black and white outfit. reminds me of the michael jackson tune, "black or white". also, not having a speaking role means the actors are paid less.
so, this is considered an indie flick on a shoe-strink budget. let's give it an award.
I like it. You always just change the channel when you see the babies with flies on them. But celebs make you want to stick around, gets the message to you a little better...

oh, i'm not sure what a shoe-strink budget is .. but lilmissknit makes a point: i can't flip the channel fast enough when i see flies partying out on a kid's face, and celebs aren't likely gonna attract flies (at least not the ones with wings).
they could send me six dollars a day.... I would find a place to put it!
i like it...
of course i was also thinking how much i like colin firth and ed norton.
I personally like women with some meat on their bones..lol
mister underhill: so you're familiar with the process.
nam: black and white has been the base of the whole campaign. white band with black print.
lmk: you know, when bob geldof snaps his fingers it's hard to change the channel
red: $6 a day, 30 days in a month, 12 months in a year, that's an extra $2100-2200 a year or five pairs of jimmy choos depending o how you look at it.
loz: i'm with you there. i especially liked colin in the importance of being earnest. i love his stuffiness.
thc: real women have curves, right?
love "real women have curves"
oh yes we do have curves!love us.
dia, nice math. but I was thinking all of the people that send money ther could send it to me. that would be alot more money. I would of course buy some shoes, but I would donate it somewhere else where sally struthers coulndt eat it all.
damn, another wristband that i might collect. so far, i have none in my wristband collection - but i am keeping tab on what i don't have, just in case i decide to start.
A friend of mine noted that the Holocaust victims don't look as emaciated to her as they once did, because of how skinny the female actresses/models have become.
Why must everything go to extremes? Just because obesity is a problem in this country, do we go the other direction?
As far as poverty goes, I think a few of these assholes could make a serious dent in the problem.
Again, extremes...
africa's debt is estimated at 102 billion. forbes lists that there are approximately 691 "billionaires" in the world. If every one of them donated 10 million dollars to third world debt relief, the debt would be erased in less than fifteen years. i realize that throwing money at the problem doesn't necessarily get rid of it, but allowing these countries to start again at zero at least gives them a fighting chance. and that leads to my ideal idea of a solution: forgive the debt.
well, as a friend of many republicans, i often witness unison agreement whenever one of them say, "thank goodness shopping carts roll down hill!"
