We were watching Live 8 last night, transfixed by the fact that all the actors on stage seem to have contracted Keanu Reeves disease. I mean it's not every day that you can watch Brad Pitt deliver sparklers like "did you know that every three seconds one child dies of poverty in africa. it's true. we need to be heard and tell the politicians to fix it. seriously."
But anyway, that wasn't the most wrong part. The most wrong part of the whole thing is that one of the major sponsors was.... Trimspa. Yes, Trimspa. Trimspa would like to remind you that while thousands of children are dying every day because of their lack of food and basic medical care, you Americans can easily and painlessly melt away your excess fat, obtained through years of large portions, luxurious rich foods, and mindless overeating.
"Trimspa: Helping Africa out because hey, we'd like them to be customers some day."
