George Clooney arrested.
 
For protesting outside the Sudanese embassy.

Quote:

The pair were handcuffed and taken into custody along with U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), Rep Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), former Rep. Tom Andrews (D-Mass.), Martin Luther King III and NAACP president Ben Jealous.
Quote:

Clooney added: "Anytime you're making the names of people who are charged for war crimes famous, I think that's good. I think the name Omar al-Bashir should be famous. I think people should know it."
Too bad 'al-Bashir' isn't as fun to say as 'Kony'.

He also put out a video a couple of days ago:

Again nowhere near the response that 'Kony 2012' got.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about? :O:

This was all over the news here today (when they could take a break from talking about college basketball) because IIRC George's dad Nick was also involved and also arrested. George is still considered a local boy and Nick, of course, is just as well known here due to his time as a prominent local newsman. Among folks older than me they probably think of George as "Nick's boy, the actor" instead of tossing Nick's name in as "and oh his dad was there too."

When I start hearing about these people actually being charged and tried, then I will start caring. This is just a big publicity game to them.

How edgy and committed to their cause do you have go be to be arrested with the understanding you will be released after the interview with the press?

I had to ask my little sister, what she would do, if she had fainted and George Clooney was the one who was giving her mouth-to-mouth

I would stay fainted forever
(She's a big fan of George)

@ Platapus, I don't think so. This is not one simpel attend, but one of many appearance, he has made. He have been talking to the Congress a.s.o about the problem in south Sudan.

[sarcastic]We should go there so they'll be killing us instead, problem solved.[/sarcastic] :salute: :yeah:

Tribesman 03-17-12 04:43 AM

Is he going to protest outside the South Sudan embassy too?
After all if he is complaining about the atrocities, cattle fights and tribal war around south kordofan he should be blaming all the bastards involved.

....including Koni:03:

I will always and ever think of him as "Rosemary's nephew".
