Jim Carrey to the United Nations: Balm Burma!
Jim Carrey advised the United Nations Security Council on Friday to ban all international arms shipments to Burma (officially known as the Union of Myanmar). The comedian-turned-activist urged China, Russia and India to back the ban at a press conference held at the UN Plaza in NYC.
Carrey, 45, wants to help win freedom for Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
“This is a government that uses its weapons not in self defense, but against its own citizens,” Carrey said. “The time has come for the United Nations Security Council to start acting less like a group of corporations and more like united nations.”

Looks like Jim got the Angelina bug. But i think he’s better off being an activist for Autism. He did wonders for Jenny McCarthy’s son.

People were involved in charities long before Angie came along.
Jared, thanks for mostly using Burma and not the slave name of a corrupt military junta.
Good for Jim for speaking out.
Good for Jim for taking a stand for something morally right. Who cares if he’s an entertainer? At least he’s doing something about it, which is more than most people.
As for ASSK hanging on her father’s fame — that statement is utterly ridiculous because it shows that you don’t know the conditions in which she lives. Why don’t you go live in Burma and be under house arrest… you wouldn’t last a day.
FREE BURMA! Burma must be free… freedom, justice democracy.

Actually, the name Myanmar is what the local Myanmese call themselves. They are not associated with the military. It is how they identify themselves. But otherwise, I agree, its time for the military junta to go.

ACTUALLY, there’s no such thing as MYANMESE. its an awful name that was made up since the junta changed the COUNTRY’S NAME to Myanmar.the local people still prefer to call themselves by their ethnic groups such as ,shan,mon,burmar,kachin,karen,chin,etc. overall, they are still burmese (derived from the word tibeto-burman), hope that clears things up =)
his hair is short… thank god
Finally, people need to stand up to the junta. Burma needs our help!!!!Free Burma . . . . justice and democracy to them
Thank Christ he cut that shiteous hair!!! He looks much more handsome with it short. Long hair looks good on only certain men - Jim wasn’t one of them.
How do I get a letter to you!
More to the point of this sub-site; what are you running from, but hay you look better than I’ve ever seen you.!
Sincerely,
Christopher
