MySpace Organizes Sudan Fundraiser

tanman writes to tell us CNN is reporting that MySpace is sponsoring a series of 20 concerts as an effort to raise awareness about the humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan. From the article: "The concerts will take place October 21. Artists include TV on the Radio in Philadelphia, Alice in Chains in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Ziggy Marley in Medford, Oregon, Citizen Cope in Seattle, Gov't Mule in Spokane, Washington, and Insane Clown Posse in St. Petersburg, Florida."

I only hope

[holdenholden]

I only hope that the concerts will not be broadcast from the profiles of 400 million users simultaneously.

ICP

[tyleroar]

All the ICP fans I know are huge fans care very deeply about humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan. (Oh shit, is that funny because ICP fans don't care about that, or because there are no ICP fans?)

Damnit! We better break out the lottery balls and round up the horses.... If nothing else clogs the tubes, that will!

1994 called

[BeeBeard]

It wants its music back. But keep that Insane Clown Posse CD. 1994 said you could just keep that.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate if...

[Baloo Ursidae]

...MySpace did a series of benefit concerts for children lured by sexual predators over the Internet, given that they seem to facilitate it more than anyone these days?

uhh, armor? i can't imagine that clown makeup has an armor rating above 0.

Not this again

[Tablizer]

I already gave all my money to some e-mail dude in Africa who promised to pay me back once I filled out some paper-work for him. He never did.

Sudanly - Billy Ocean

[marko123]

I used to think Darfur was just a fairy tale
Until that genocide until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
Cause this war is everlasting

Sudanly "gangaweed" has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up Sudanly you're in poverty

Girl you're everthing a man could rape and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding dismembered hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now you're dying in Darfur

Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
You wake and Sudanly you're at war
