Hugh Jackman TV Commercial for the Global Poverty Project

[mathandsciencerocks]

awww i think i love him

[malhom]

our objective was to build a Water Dam for a rural village & also take part in a National Immunisation Day for Polio.

The teams consisted of approx 100 people from Canda, USA, France, Iceland, Australia & the UK. Also consisted of 14 Rotaractors.

At the Immunisation I met up with the Chief Medical Officer and he was pleased to tell me that I had immunised 107 children from Polio. My heart strings were really plucked ! then said 250,000 children were immunised !

[KraziJazlyn]

@ulter1 just b/c you "Wikipedia'd" his ass doesnt mean he didn't do anything, maybe hes jus the type of guy tht does good thing but doesnt like taking credit for anything : )

[twilightsoccer14]

I'm going to the presentatoin on the 2nd

[ConstantC4]

Quite frankly I don't think we should help africa the arab world central asia etc.

It's an empty well with no end.

[uraniumdeath]

Why do smug shits like JAckman appeal to the average person to raise money to help those in poverty when they're the ones earning millions every year?

[Orcaheart7]

You're a shit for saying that. Shut your fucking mouth.

[uraniumdeath]

What is so bad about it? It's a valid point...

We average people have to work our arses off to live in an average house, pay bills etc. yet we're being asked to contribute squillions to help...

Celebrities start foundations in their own name, but ask others to fund it...

Jackman is as smug as they get. Good luck to him.

I just feel that these people who earn millions every year should give more.

I don't care if you Love Jackman...I have my opinion

As for your language, I don't care for it.

[CaitlyDangerSummers]

Sorry, what was he talking about? I got kinda distracted by the Aussie accent... He makes me proud to be a Aussie!!!

[fancymonster]

How did he do that? Jump from one side of the frame to the other without me noticing it.

Awesome.

[ChoccoTeddy]

i had to watch the video twice for the message to sink in. I just kept getting distracted by something...;D great way to get our attention eh

[upaste]

yayyy. lets all end global poverty. things are so bad now they have to call it 'Global' Poverty. if you really understood your history, the politics and the corruption you would see that poverty is caused by greed, so the problem is part of our sick human nature, and unfortunately, that's not going to change anytime soon.

[kamajutsu]

nipping at the leaves instead of the root. poverty is caused by debt to global banks. the way the establishment turn it around and ask the common citizen to send petty donations for things THEY have created, is ridiculous. if we want poverty to end, we need to ask hard questions of how it is created

[upaste]

i disagree. the roots of poverty are in the human mind and it is greed. for example, most of the poverty in the southern cone of Latin America was caused by American policy geared towards their profit at the expense of peoples lives. aka Chicago econonics. the same happened in the wake of Katrina, New Orleans and the tsunami. thousands of cases of people loosing their land and jobs to make way for new $2000 a night tourist resorts. we already know HOW poverty is created.

[ConstantC4]

Your post reeks of third worldism , poverty is created when they breed so fast they overconsume whatever resources they had , this is why some countries sink into it and others get out.

[upaste]

perhaps so. poverty is a combination of many factors really but greed is central to most of them. the poverty in a country like Brazil for instance has little to do with breeding and everything to do with greed.

[katesinger]

you have to start somewhere. dont be so incredulous.

[blingstababe]

His sexiness distracted me so i had to watch the video again.

[metallicpumpkin]

I wish there was a button to just screen out all youtube comments sometimes, videos like this bring out everyone who's got an opinion to share or an agenda to push... I swear my IQ drops 20 points just by reading some of them...

[nrky2]

Yet it increases by a further 21% by reading some other comments. :)

[metallicpumpkin]

Hello... what brought you back here after two months? Mr... wait, we have some common interests here. I speak Japanese, I wanna get into Parkour... and I'm Australian! Weird.

Not only that, but I've met communitychannel... BEFORE she was youtube royalty. Oh yeah, I know you wanna touch me now. ;)

[nrky2]

By the way, I love the wording of this movement.

"Global Poverty Project"... that's EXACTLY what it wants! GLOBAL POVERTY!

[KidsWithGuns1992]

I gotta say that's a reaaaally good point.

Like shouldn't it be "Global Anti-Poverty Project"?

[nrky2]

Here's a good idea...

Let's start on reducing third world debt! What's that you say? The income of the entire middle class and working class in the first world, for ten years, would not be enough to cover 3rd world debt? Well then, we better get started right away!

[nrky2]

In order to do so, you would have to evenly distribute the wealth amongst the whole species. This would mean that you would have to give up more than 80% of your income towards the global taxation project (aka. 'to reduce poverty).

[Cattypuss1]

It's the bleeding hearts the Western world are in fact creating the situation - especially in Africa. I was listening to an eminent African scholar the other day and she said that aid groups in Africa are actually part of the problem....a problem of dependence on others. She wants Africans to stand on their own two feet and solve their OWN problems. I tend to agree with her.

[nrky2]

Africans don't stand on their own two feet when given independance; they stand on the backs of others that they've slaughtered.

[cowinyourface]

and what about the EXTREME LIES they are telling us over Global Warming ??? to set up the new Global Financial system so that the UN can collect a TAX on your cow farts and tell you that you must become vegetarian, stuff up your immune system, drop chemtrails on us and slip in a pandemic here and there..all in the name of EUGENICS.

Do you really think these master globalists listen to the 'critters'?

[cowinyourface]

Reality is these Globalists who rule our world - DON'T CARE... including the UN who are doing everything possible to slow it down with incompetency and malice.

The time now is to help your neighbour and look in your own backyard to clean up all the crime, hate, inequality and poverty..especially in Australia where every 5th person is losing their job and house.

[Cattypuss1]

The reason why every 5th person is losing their job and house in Australia is because of American corporate greed and our excess love of the credit card. If you think it is bad now wait until they release ALL the bad news, These arseholes are still keeping a lot from us. Kevin Rudd is tackling this crisis by signing up your unborn kids to never ending debt.....at the rate of 19 billion dollars a year. And THAT is only the interest on the 350 billion the idiot borrowed!

[BoyOfSteel101]

i see... so what's the answer? what do we do?

[chrislarson88]

Search "A real solution to global poverty" on youtube

[blingstababe]

Go to the website it asked you to at the end of the video. Theres a link.

[upaste]

finally. a voice of understanding, reason and logic. there have been scores of anti-global poverty movements in the past and look at where that's got us. poverty is now worse than ever. human greed causes poverty - it is as simple as that, and also the reason why the problem is not going away.

[gongtatoot]

I think they start with a base amount of money (off donations) but it never really is a huge massive amount, so they start charity events to build off that base amount, using that base amount. It's like investing :)

[arpolwest1]

To gorilla 199! Basically any big media celebrity Copyrigth holders as Microsoft, land house speculators etc. become an "accesory to the crime" by withholding excessive profits that they they take from the rest of the community! They don't print money but they take a big amount of the cake for themselves and their acolytes! Only US is able to print "fake" money and share their losses with the rest of the World! The hypocrisy of the well off backing no tax unaccountable schemes!

[dano555666]

I'm sick and tired of western society trying to save people THEY imprison in this life of scarsity they create.

The financeers and banking cartels along with the cfr and bilderberg group create this situation by design.

They want these people gone by 2012, along with a 10 percent decrease in populous in all countries, via execution of the cap and trade carbon tax, to acheive the georgia guidestone ideals.

Poverty is made by design, it could be fixed within a day if it was really desired.

[gongtatoot]

I don't think a group of evil Illuminati masterminds congregated and came up with an idea to enslave 1/4 of the human population mate. Poverty is just a side-effect of consumer culture. No one is trying to fuck the world. Christ.

[nrky2]

"a 10% decrease in population"? No, the georgia guidestones want the population reduced TO 10%.

[AmyK007]

Good on you Hugh, you sexy MF!

[andom120]

i know some poeple are doing that i need 1000 subscibers thing myn is not a joke my freind saw that and he bet me 500 dollars that i could'nt get 100 subscribers in 2 weeks so please sub even if you dont like my vids

[GlobalPovertyProject]

Hugh Jackman is a volunteer with the project and actively participates on the advisory board. He is not paid for his involvement.

[nrky2]

No, he simply receives more popularity because of it, and hence, his movie patronage increases.

[agents1986]

i support global poverty. lets make global poverty a reality.

[Krisspychiken]

BAH! theres already a recession crushing families in australia and around the world, stop hassling us and go do something about the rich people. Celebs, oil tycoons, big men in suits .. we have enough problems as it is.

[potterjc]

his face needs a wash, it looks like its covered in dirt. LAWLZOMG

[hfoejgejperf]

hey, he is the world's sexiest man

[homesickabortion69]

who gives a fuck about what he's saying, john butlers ocean is in the background :)

[WiriyakS]

well since Hugh is in it i reckon that we all should get on behind this now shouldn't we?

[mythintea]

wow 1.4 billion! i congrats hugh for getting hugh jackman on board.

[Jordmate]

Great cause!

[Djelibaybi]

"It is becoming more and more expensive to live, and standard wages aren't increasing at the rate living expenses are" was, I think, probably the point you were trying to make.

That last bit you wrote, something about Jesus? Yeah, that was about the point you turned into a retard.

[RoboDouche]

Why is he a retard for finding inspiration in the teachings of someone who spent their life in service to the poor and outcast of the world? You don't have to attribute supernatural powers to Jesus in order to think his philosophy was a good one.

[Djelibaybi]

Sure, Jesus' philosophies were great, I was merely commenting on the fact that Saul generalised about us all being money grubbing selfish pricks. I go to work every day to feed my family because food costs money, LIVING costs money, and surprisingly, Jesus has never supplied my family with a meal.

I don't understand why people feel the need to inject their religions and beliefs into others? Other people don't care what you believe. His post is just bible bashing, nothing more.

[oscahh]

atleast hes helping cocksucker

[DinoRedesdale1]

lool

[circusactone]

I want a list of those reasons!

[oscahh]

you are dumb 1.4 billion people 1.4 billion reasons

[RoboDouche]

YOU are dumb. He was joking.

[circusactone]

you sir, are an imbecile and humorless oscahhhhhh. Robo understands a joke when he sees one!

[Choo69]

aww too bad I don't believe in christ D:

[gorilla199uncensored]

I noticed Hugh isnt giving up his millions to help the poor!

[circusactone]

are you sure about that? If so i would also like to see a bank statement that you require to prove it.

[mungman07]

Have you given up all of your wages to the poor?

[gorilla199uncensored]

No

BUT im not he hypcorite coming on here saying help the poor, while having essive amounts of money that can be used to help the poor.

For every dollar in excess I or Hugh has that means some person has to go without it!

Thats the poor people!

[jafoosy]

annoying man

[TheChristopherTv]

lol

[pandappotamus]

ITS WOLVERINE!

[MissRandomonia]

lol awesome i hear that numberonecallumfan has got some good vids cheak it out

[DodgeVip3r]

How could these nations promise to make the lives of the poor people better when their own economy relies on plundering the poor peoples wealth. Stop looting Africa, Middle East, Central Asia and installing Western puppets to sell out their natural resources then give them loans from the IMF at 30% interest rates.

[DodgeVip3r]

Sheeps only buy this band aid solution. Why dont we abolish the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and the World Bank that have enslaved the people all around the world.

[Hakuru15]

cool

[seanandand]

pity the world is going to end in 2012

[LovableApple]

lmfao i knew someone would say that

[gorgeousaimy93]

I LOVE HUGH JACKMAN !!! :)

[anominos]

another bullshit celebrity cameo

quit advertising on my homepage the global poverty project i don't want to hear about it

[GanjaVids]

such a sad sad world we live in today, cheers illuminati and all the evil do'ers.

[bacchonysus]

... what?

[WilkoJnr86]

I so agree!!

[belezajake]

Start locally.

[vykos28]

Man, I think australia needs a prime minister that everyone can get behind like obama. HUGH JACKMAN for prime minister lolz.

[Fagottron]

Actors always end up in advertising.

[Daracon75]

I didn't say Africa had walords and pirates running around all day.... BUT.... If you were raised in Africa, you would know that it has a crime rate 40 times higher than that of Australia.

Giving aid for food will do nothing but perpetuate the problem. When they have 10+ children per family, you can understand why.

I'm not against external influence. Like I said - All aid money should go to education. They need to learn to feed themselves. Proper farming techniques should do it.

[shaky145]

Ok ill explain what happens... you pay money which is then used to buy food packages. The food packages are then shipped into urban and rural population centres... the local warlord, whomever that may be confiscates the food packages and sells them to starving people at exhuberant prices...

BUT WAIT... theres more....

The UN are absolutely powerless to stop them as it would be a violation of the international laws THEY set up.

Ahhh, irony............

[hunterjones696]

thanks for clearing it up

[Daracon75]

There's a reason poverty isn't gone. Believe it or not, poverty in the world is INCREASING. The real issue here is educating the Africans to be completely independent. Like that stupid saying goes...

"Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day... teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime."

There is only one group of people who can ultimately help the Africans....... Africans. Step up to the plate, get rid of the warlords / pirates, and start working.

[shaky145]

What makes you think im going to listen to a wanker like jackman?

[Sarah9827]

so don't you care about people living in poverty?

[shaky145]

i didnt say that, i said, why should a man who earns millions of dollars tell ME who earns next to fuckall to donate money...

its not like i have a problem forking money out for a good cause, but in africa... what the fuck is the point? You donate money and the warlords take it all and use it to buy weapons. Its fucking stupid, donation is just patchwork.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

[Hunkyfish20]

use your claws wolverine........ USE YOUR CLAWSS!!!!

[Yavanna92]

You're right Hugh 1.4 billion reasons (Y)

[brentoneccles]

The solution is a new system, as advocated by The Zeitgeist Movement:

A resource-based economy!

[Lobeznagirl]

I always say HE IS BEATIFULL...outside and inside...a great person and the sexiest man I have ever seen in my life....what else?...I love him!

Thanks for this video! :-)

[kaylol44]

hugh is such a great person..he cares about everything and he is so active and such a wonderful actor..and at the same time he is such good a father and a husband..i wish all stars were like him..

[teesh76]

looks awesome - about time someone focussed on debating the issues and bringing us together to develop the solutions as a global community to end extreme poverty - I'm in!

[ponkamelon]

Wolverine would kick poverty in the butt! Looks interesting..

[chriskamen]

Hugh Jackman is so hot right now. Therefore the GPP must be so hot right now too.
