I’m Mad as Hell to Fight Hunger – Petition
Posted on May 13, 2010 by by valerirojas
The United Nations food agency launched a worldwide media campaign on Tuesday 11th of May to fight hunger.
The campaign centres on an on-line petition urging governments to make the elimination of hunger their top priority, with the slogan “I’m Mad as Hell” and a yellow whistle icon.
Its website, www.1billionhungry.org, features a clip in which British film star Jeremy Irons says: “People around the world suffer hunger, chronic hunger. One billion people, one billion of us. Now that’s bad, worse than bad, that’s crazy!” AFP
The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation hopes the petition will spread through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and other social sites. www.1billionhungry.org
