Bob Geldof announced yesterday that, on July 13, he will stage the first of a series of 12 “LIVE RAID” concerts to benefit Somali pirates.In much the same way his 1985 “LIVE AID” concerts raised funds for famine relief in Ethiopia, Geldof said the “LIVE RAID” events will benefit the Muslim pirates who, in order to make a living in a tough economy, have been forced to hijack cargo and merchant ships traveling off the coast of the East African nation and hold their crews for ransoms.
“Obviously, the Somali pirates are victims of a global economic collapse that has left millions across the African continent to suffer,” Geldof said.

LOL. I can't wait. Hopefully Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson will grace us with their presence again.
ReplyDeleteThose poor, oppressed Somali pirates. (whispers quietly) They are black, you know.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad a kind white man has finally stepped to the podium to give them a voice.
