George Clooney joined Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel on Thursday to not only prove to the United Nations Security Council that he is a very handsome gay man, but also to press them about helping to stop the killings in Sudan's Darfur region.
Since February 2003, when ethnic African tribes revolted against the Arab-led Khartoum government, state-sponsored militias called Janjaweed have reportedly killed at least 400,000 people and displaced 2.5 million more. Clooney's crusade began in April when he and his father, retired newsman Nick Clooney, spent five days in Darfur filming interviews with refugees.
This Saturday (tomorrow) a rally will take place in New York's Central park organized by the Save Darfur Coalition.
I know you're not going to get off your lazy ass to go to this rally, cause all of those rally things end up being miserable protests about 101 different issues that you couldn't give a shit about. But dammit, George Clooney needs your support, and most importantly the people of Darfur do, because for all the problems we've got going on in our country, they've got it 10 times worse. Okay?
