“Fasting as a way of protesting”.
I trust that these cretins are passing the food they aren’t eating to the hungry and needy. Otherwise, I would view this as an empty gesture by a bunch of people who look remarkably well fed.
What Jeff said. Also, we should encourage millions of these morons to stop eating; food prices will drop as they starve to death.
Oh please…they will never give up their arugula and goose pate terrines for the little people.
And we know full well, they will fast, until they get hungry.
So how long is the fast? Scheduled for the hours between breakfast and mid-morning coffee? Will snacks be provided for the protesters?
Fast away you bunch of tools.
Mori, I’d say they fasting between bedtime and breakfast.
In that sense, I fast every day. Which demonstrates that, deep down, I am indeed a caring person.
Bravo! I say they take the next step, and make the ultimate sacrifice for the poor and Mother Gaia. They should commit a mass suicide. Think of the reduction in greenhouse gases their absence would produce. JUST DO IT! For the Children©
I hate to say this, but whinging about “starving women and children” in the most obese nation on earth doesn’t have quite the same impact as, say talking about genuine hunger and starvation in Africa.
Muffin tops and beer bellies do NOT make an adequate visual substitution for hunger-distended bellies on skeletal babies.
And what are they actually doing to help all these “starving” women and children, beyond this silly middle-class preening display of Conspicuous Compassion?
Can’t you tell that they care, CC? Isn’t caring the highest form of patriotism?
Moby…Meh, can’t sing, can’t speak (properly)
Hunger striking is so passe. The problem is that somehow none of these poseurs ever actually die. If this lot really want to get their message across may I respectfully suggest that this time they go the distance.
Michael Moore should be leading this protest.
What did they say..30,000 Americans..Lets not tell the world there are 300 plus million Americans…
A drop in the ocean me thinks for their cause..
Showed the video and comments to my very “oh mum you are so boring” daughter and her girlfriend, they really lol’d! The commentators here should get together because you have produced some high quality, and truthful comment here. Well done:)
Thanks, Barbie! Come back and visit us often!
Doofusness. Fasting is a form of penance and sacrifice, not an exercise in ego. “When you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, to be to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” (Mt 6:16-18)
Yeah, well ‘Fly if Matthew had been forced to endure life under Chimpy McBushistan he would have changed his outlook right quick.
Fasting? Sissies.
Why don’t kill themselves, one a day, until we stop global warming or something? I think that would show TRUE courage.
Although, now that I think about it, TEN a day would be even better…
And then again, they could all just get together in one big hippy-gasm and do the Jonestown thing.
I’m an idea man.
Good grief. I can’t even bear to watch the clip. Why do they have to do the most insincere, utterly pointless and shallow things? It’s so obvious that it’s all about them – the seeming to be compassionate, as opposed to actually being compassionate. It must be obvious to everyone that it’s just meaningless drivel and will not help a starving person anywhere on the planet. Does anyone get persuaded by this?
They can show they care without all that pesky ‘giving money to charities’ rubbish!
