Day 10: Mia Farrow: Hunger Strike for Darfur - May 06, 2009

[0rbis2010]

Mia is wonderful. The problem with UNICEF is that its founder, Julian Huxley was an ardent Malthusian-eugenics ideologue who believed that the poor were "useless eaters" who should be allowed to perish when disaster comes so that the rich can occupy their natural resources. In Rwanda the West knew very well what was about to happen but did nothing. As Steven Lewis said, Rwanda had nothing to sell, nothing to buy" so too bad for the hundreds of thousands who were slaughtered.

[Hellzyead]

she was so sexy in "Rosemary's Baby" still is!

[toyamac]

You are so great Mia!

[orbis2009]

Mia, all can contact Project Censored (online) on important under-reported stories. They specialize in exposing the suppression of critical stories.

[LibPornQuig]

I never trust celebs (especially fading ones) who take up humanitarian causes. Part of me will always believe it's for show, for attention. So she went on a hunger strike, so what? It solved nothing. I have more respect for celebs who work behind the scenes for charity, like Steve Buscemi, who quietly donated all types of cash to NYC fire fighters after 9/11. He just wanted to help, he didn't want attention.

[Speedosify]

is that Andrea, the devil's son?

[trentyboiii]

Mia Farrow, i love you your amazing xx

[XpresloX]

If she went to Iraq or Afganistan to repport a situation there, she did not have a support from her own government, USA. that why she just went to Darfur for make her government happy.

[RationalTheism]

She's a great person :)

[EPSWhiz]

When it was discovered that his grandparents, were strong socialists, sent Obama’s mother to a socialist school, introduced Frank Marshall Davis to young .

People said it didn't matter!

When he wrote in another book he authored “I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

When the place of his birth was called into question, and he refused to produce a birth certificate,

People said it didn’t matter.

[Picardy]

I didn't see a video for the 15th day when she had to stop. But seriously, what did she think was going to happen when you deprive the body of food? She talks about muscle cramps, etc. Again, what did she THINK was going to happen? Starving is a slow painful death and serves no purpose.

[XpresloX]

Go to Iraq and Afganistan, open your eyes and tell us what happen there Bitch !

[CocoonSoon]

Jayzuz thats one big cross there. cute kid. Mia means well. Shes got such sad lost eyes.

[Mernerwastaken]

This is going to be one of those things years from now when future generations are going to blame us for not doing anything when we could... Sort of like the holocaust. No body in america took that seriously until 6 million innocent people suffered horrible deaths.

[toolips1400]

Unfortunately Obama has no interest in this cause. Corporations own and run everthing, not politicians. And corporations don't care about human beings, only the bottom line - because it has no emotions.

[sonjaxfactor]

@toolips1400 you are so right!

[lipsxofxflame]

Awe, cute little kid! :D

[KURISUCHRIS99]

i love mia farrow

as an actress

and i except what she is doing

[888legendary]

Why does mia farrow focus on darfur but not palestine? Maybe because her jewish masters will destroy her acting career. This bitch clearly has racist views on the china because I've never heard her say anything about japanese dealings in darfur, even though they are the 2nd largest investors.

[BryantFinlay]

why couldn't our army have gone into sudan instead of iraq?

[KungVanargand]

The day Im ready, I would love to directly support Mia Farrow! Id like to finish my Reiki mastership and head out to Darfur with her! Im shure I would be completely overwhelmed by the world that I have not yet whitnessed, but with her at the side I think it would do! Is there a site where one can directly get into contact with her?

[888legendary]

@KungVanargand

What an fucking idiot sheep you are! Why don't you find out more about a cause before you support it instead of being a bandwagon hopping sheep and a useful fool. You want to support a worthy cause, try the palestinian cause! darfur is a bullshit politically trumped up cause.

[KungVanargand]

I dont like your attitude asshole! Mind your own bloody business!

[iikkjslsjjiuhs]

This bitch is so full of fvcking sh|t. The pizza and chocolate cake are sitting just out of camera view. She's a liar who's been pigging out this whole time. Remember, she acts!

[888legendary]

Nice to see someone who actually has the courage to think outside the media. This farrow bitch is a useful fool to the elites

[jetsam50000]

Unfortunately, this will do shit.

[2worldsconnect]

We have a San Diego band Two Worlds Connect to raise funds for Southern Sudan to drill water wells. We think this is the best way to get the people back to there villages. Forget the goverment they only give lip. It is up to those who want to make a change. You and me. We support Nuba Water. We could never talk to Mia?

[Omer698]

go to hell you American piece of shit we don't want you in our country

[crissmothers]

I love you Mia! Your heart, mind, and soul is in the right place. Unfortunately people like to attack the saints instead of focusing their anger to do positive things. You did the right thing. Public awareness will not open the minds of some people but a few is better than none. You sacrificed your life for the well being of others & I will defend you till my dying day.

Peace4evermore~

[videomanic1966]

I've always loved Mia. I like that she stands up for the causes she believes in. As you can see, she doesn't care about what some negative people might say about her. That takes a strong and free-thinking person. I think it's cool. I don't know that I could last that long - I would get a migraine and be very grouchy after ONE DAY! :P

[vainshadows]

Mia, it's not that some people including me here who r being so cold hearted. The world simply just has too many things to do. While world economy is falling into this crisis, people demand world leaders to focus on their domestic problems. I'm guess u r still doing this silly starvation in ur sweet warm house, but imaging you doing this while u r living on streets. That's right Mia, While millions r about to loss their homes and jobs, you got to be kidding for trying attract people's attenttion

[vainshadows]

For chris sake, what a stupid woman, Chinese oil company's engineers and employees are doing all they can to help Darfur people such as building infrastructures and providing medical cares for the local people, but business is just business. Have you ever heard a desperate business buyer had any position to lecture the seller? how dare you asking the Chinese company, which is desperately trying to secure chinese economy blood line, to do the dirty work for you to overturn Sudanese government.

[crissmothers]

I may be white - my soul is black - Not black like color - Black from emptiness, nothingness, numbness,from all the pain & suffering in the world - 4 I still believe in the words of the wise - Life locked in a prison w/ no crime 2 be seen - just race, poverty & the wrong family - No way to be freed - So I say it now as Eugene would so plead..

"While there is a lower class I am in it; while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."

Peace4evermore~

[888legendary]

I guess you're an inner nigger than, get a life. you really think you're gonna change the world and make a difference commenting on a youtube video, shit

[Maersk1668]

Mia, please go eat some shit now.  You deserve it.

[akaRubyHeart]

I am amazed at how many ignorant people there are who don't even know, or bother to look up, who Mia Farrow is. She is a lot more than just Woody Allen's ex, for goodness sakes. And though I don't agree with her politics in general, horrible things ARE happening in Darfur and the U.S. SHOULD intervene, and at least Mia is trying to do something about it!

[LukeJamieson00]

@akaRubyHeart Wow, I didnt know she was Woody Allen's ex! I just know her for her acting.

[akaRubyHeart]

@akaRubyHeart -- Mia and Woody adopted children when they were together, and Woody left Mia so he could marry one of their adopted children! He's married to her now, Soon Yi Allen!

[Crushgut]

Who are you again? Oh yeah some looser who got burned by Woody Allen. Hope you starve.

[Khassan111]

SHAME ON U WESTERS ........... WHAT ABOUT PALASTINE ..... WHAT ABOUT GAZA ?????

YOu are reall Terrorists ....

[francescorengifo]

People can understand that one can fast many things. I personally choose to fast from television in support. I would fast from food but I need food to take my medication. Thank you Mia for your support of the cause

[888legendary]

bullshit, you're just bandhopping hippie do gooder wannabe, shut up

[WulfgarCommand]

"not even a celebrity" haha what an idiot. He's like "UH IF YOU'RE SO INTERESTED IN...UH...THE ...YOU KNOW THAT THING...WHY DONT YOU ...LIKE LEAVE....TO BE WITH THAT THING..........STUPID." -Rock on Mia

[editorick]

Who cares you Irrelavant not even a celebrity. If you are so concerned about Darfur, move there. Shut up already.

[PaashRevolutionary]

Friends, please please do not ignore Ms. Farrow's hunger strike. And, to get better acquainted of Darfur problem please read an influential article by the eminent african scholar Mahmood Mamdani - "The Politics of Naming" published in London Review of Books. Prof. Mamdani also has an interview on Darfur at Democracy Now.

[ASenseOfCalm]

How can people criticise - isn't it remarkable that it takes a celeb to starve herself to raise awareness. She's always been charmingly quirky, but good on her - at least she has a pssion - at least she's thinking of others

[dpatrick1002]

Now I am aware of Darfur - you can eat.

[GiuseppeAlgeri]

this is so important on what you are doing Im so happy and proud of you well done Mia. Its a shame that the rest of the world dont get there head out of their as...

[ToLokyo]

Not sure who you are, but stumbled on the video, and it looks like you're doing a good thing - it's getting enough attention to catch my eye when I wasn't looking at all.

Great to know that people are serious about helping the people of Darfur.

Good luck with it!

Make sure you stay well hydrated. :D

[waynethx]

Oh yeah, that's worrisome. I am sure the whole world is wringing its hands because Mia Farrow hasn't eaten in a whole 2 weeks. As soon as she starts feeling bad, she heads to the nearest McDonalds -- so much for the courage of her convictions. What a clown.

[DeCoste8]

are you being a dick?

[waynethx]

I think not. I just don't think a 3-week fast qualifies as a serious hunger strike -- particularly one that is aborted after two weeks. And her excuse is that she is lacking protein --?-- what did she expect? This very lame.

[Trudie55]

youre just gonna fast till you starve? not 2 smart!

[mildredella]

Good greif!

[m169marroquin]

I got a butterfinger!!

[jeffkoons001]

Mia, you better take care of yourself. I'm nuts about you and your political commitment. Thank you for your marvelous compassion.

[lilmspriss]

that's great Mia!

[sealless]

This will change things.  Not.

[jamesbillions]

save darfur! good luck

[squidgymallow]

Well done mia,stay safe,

[OneoftheImmortals]

Keep drinking water. We love you!

[ramona7609]

I hope you don't have to do this for much longer Mia. Maybe someone else can pick up the slack for you and continue this strike.
