Eric Szmanda Jorja Fox - Burma It Can't Wait Myanmar Cyclone
http://... Days for a Million VoicesThe issues the people of Burma/Myanmar are struggling with have been present for some time, since the military dictatorship took power and began a policy of isolationism, forced labor, systematic rape, politicalimprisonment, and destroying villages (creating more than 1 million refugees in the process.) On May 1, three days before the cyclone, the US Campaign for Burma, Human Rights Action Center and Fanista.com launched Burma: It Can't Wait - a campaign using celebrity voices like Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Silverman, and Eddie Izzard to shine a light on the junta's actions. You can see the new videos each day, as well as make a donation to support the cyclone relief efforts, at http://... .Talent: Eric Szmanda&Jorja FoxDirector: Chad EinbinderWriter: Lara MannProduction Entity: Looking Glass FilmsExecutive Producer: June GutermanHead of Production: Conn ReillyEditorial: Lost PlanetEditor: Bruce Herrman / Geoff HounsellProducer: Ali Maldonado / Romi LaineExecutive Producer: Betsy BealeOnline: Elephant PostOnline Artist: Chris HomelProducer: Ali Maldonado / Romi LaineDirector of Photography: Jason LehelCamera Assistant: Micah BisagniSound Recordist: Dennis HamlinHair/Make-Up: Carlene KProduction Assistant: Adam GiambatistaCamera Rental: The Camera HouseGrip Rentals: Luka LightingLocation: Hollywood Center StudiosGrooming talent arranged by: Margaret Maldonado AgencyAdditional equipment provided by: Line 204 Production RentalsExecutive Producers: Jack Healey, Jeremy Woodrum, Dan Adler, Prudence Fenton, John Solomon
Wow. America has this ONE conflict (which it perpetrated) and therefore NEEDS to be selfish. Where is the compassion? How many conflicts did this Burmese civilian go through? Earth to Amerika: we have freedom, and the Burmese do not. Why should we wait to put our freedom into action? Not that we need to send our soldiers to Burma - that's just another Iraq story. There is no tomorrow for the Burmese. Let's count ourselves lucky and responsible for the fact that there's one for us.

I'd like to drop a load on Jorja's mouth and see it drip through the gap in her teeth.

But we need to help out our own country first.

The only reason I like this video is because of the interaction between Jorja and Eric.

First we need to fix America's National Debt, The Price of Oil, Teach people to spend wisely improve OUR citizens life, erase OUR welfare and food problems, lower our crime rates, have a FAIRLY elected government, Raise OUR Nations standards to what it used to be pre-Iraq in the world. Until then who gives a rats ass about some 3rd world country whilst ours is slowly becoming one. I am first and foremost a citizen To the US. AMERICA FOR LIFE!! RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ALL THE WAY! HOOAH!!!

yea ur right, but its better to resolve that conflict first (by leaving or whatever).

And I agree, but all we are doing is putting a selfish name on america. But honestly I don't see how it is affecting us. No one has bombed us since 911 and most people don't even know what that was really about so all we are doing is killing our own people for no purpose. America is supposed to be the best place in the world right? So why can't we let loose long enough to help someone in need?

um "The more important thing to do is help others, not try fighting our own wars", so we should disregard that we are already in serius shit and switch to some other problem? i understand that we SHOULD (not HAVE to) help, but i think it is more important to support a problem that is actually affecting us first.
MCRmykatie4eva(August 5, 2008 at 11:28 pm)
I respect your opinion, but I think you are wrong. The more important thing to do is help others, not try fighting our own wars. It's america's fault for the war in Iraq, what's happening there isn't their fault. How would you like to have to deal with the fear of everyone you love being tourtured and mutilated in front of your eyes? Sending money will help with getting those people out of there. It will help get them food clothing and shelter from horror. Try walking in their shoes.

wow, i could almost sense your bullshit before i logged on.sure we would love to help burma, but isnt there something more important to be supporting, gosh i almost forget what it is... THE WAR ON TERROR ( or whatever people call it now), what are we supposed to do for burma when we are already focused somewhere else? are we supposed to send money? but what would that do? are we supposed to protest? like thats going to stop a dictator. everyone is just trying to put on a good-samaritan mask.

some of you say that we're stupid and lame to help out other countries and you tell us to mind our own business. by saying that, you're saying that you don't care about global warming, you don't care about the damaged rainforests, and you don't care about damaged countries. we are one world and you can't change that. and desmo, we can move a mountain. we do it little by little, moving each little pebble. so each vote for burma counts. we CAN do this and we WILL try.
