Bree gets socially aware? or Bree gets paid to plug a website?

It's just an advertisement for that website. The website probably gave them money for it. I don't find it AMAZING.

I find it amazing that people would actually think that if you forgive debt to a country (that the country isnt paying on anyway) that suddenly all of the kids will be fed. I never realized that numbers written down in a book were so important.

It's a good cause, though poverty is too pervasive to end. Forgiving its foreign debt really won't magically improve the country, though it's a good cause and I'm glad people are striving for something because it's better than nothing.

I agree. I dislike that they use the character/series to push an agenda.

This might be off topic for this thread, but I think using Bree and the LG15 set to push this message shows the whole thing has "jumped the shark."

this is so stupid, poverty stricken folk don't even have the internet, what good can they do?

Good for her. It's a nice way to use a current phenomenom to help raise awareness on the Internet.

And nice to see Owen in the background standing up in support as well!

Ha!

But it is true that Owen is deeply involved in any action to end world poverty and hunger.

I'm really glad they did this, paid advertisement or not.

Particularly when it's part of a Structural Adjustment Program.

I NEED to major in poli sci and get informed...

I hope that Mesh and the gang did get paid, it's not like the project is generating a ton of money at this point.
