Anna Hazare's hunger strike

Anna Hazare is a male Indian activist who is on a hunger strike, protesting the Indian government. You can get all the details at Huff Post or whatever news source you trust. Let me tell you, despite his name, this guy Anna has got a large set of camel balls.

Lets look at some stats:

India has a population of 1.9 billion. That makes it the worlds largest democracy. So Anna is 1 in 1.9 billion. Good luck making your girlfriend feel special now, Bosson.

34% of this population lives on less than $1 US dollar a day, 80% on less than $2. So let's dust of that old TI-83 and do the numbers. Thats 646 million and 1.5 billion respectively, who have less than $2 a day to eat. My gum this morning cost me $1.50.

47% of India's children are underweight and malnourished. They rank third in the world in that category. Maybe Michelle Obama can use them as a model for her fight against child obesity.

Hunger is the world's #1 health risk. It kills more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Astonishing. *bites into $.75 apple* *scratches genitals*

65% of the world's hungry live in only seven countries, India being one of them. Can you guess the other six? (hint: stick with Asia and Africa)

The list goes on.


....really Anna? A hunger strike?


No offense Gandhi. I still love what you guys stand for.

Who's down for some $.25 wings in Brighton tonight? First rounds on me...
