Poverty ended by text messages and celebrities. Who would have thought...?

To put this in context. There were 500 Million text messages for voting in the last Fox American Idoal finale.

Poverty ended by text messages and celebrities. Who would have thought...?

But of course! Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam
Wonderful Spam.



The no-calorie, no-personal sacrifice kind they serve in Florida Hospices....

That's the problem with these Live8 jugheads. They think they can solve the world's problems by "text messaging." ROTFL!!!! Don't do drugs while operating your cellphone.

I started to write a very lengthy post on the stupidity of the Live 8 crowd, but then I realized that its wasted breath.

What a bunch of morons.

What does a text message taste like?

[nmh]

Yeah ... talk is cheap.

Where the MONEY?

[omniscient]

I wonder if the text message charges were waived by the phone service companies. If not, at least this nonsense may have at least generated a little extra revenue for those companies at the expense of all the gullible boobs clamoring for more socialism.

[commonasdirt]

26 million messages. Likely messages sent multiple times by people who have little or nothing to lose in income through taxes. So kind of them to be so generous with other peoples money

If there is vestigial evidence of Live 8's effect on Africa in three years' time, I'll eat my hat.
