Not to be outdone by Lance Armstrong’s amazingly successful “LIVE STRONG” latex bracelet campaign, Angelina Jolie has decided to try to create a similar fad to raise money and awareness for her World Refugee Day charity and the UN Refugee Agency.
For a $10 donation you can get a latex “LIVE THONG” Refu-G-String (pictured at right) which will help children and teens in Tanzania, Sudan, Angola, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bosnia-Herzegovina and countries of the former Soviet Union to have a better life, through visits from Angelina.
More than 35 million people in the world today have been forced to run for their lives, and are either temporarily or permanently exiled from their homes. Half of them are children. Roughly 20 million fall under the auspices of the UNHCR and are currently receiving assistance from the agency. Around 12 million live in refugee camps, fleeing persecution, armed conflict, murder, rape, and mutilation. The smaller camps of 200 to 300 people in many cases are essentially whole villages that have fled together. Larger camps can be the size of small cities. Your donation can help bring some much needed care to needy refugees worldwide — just $10 can rent a donkey on which Angelina can ride to visit each refugee camp personally. Refugees can benefit greatly from simply seeing and touching Angelina’s clothing, and now you can finally help bring her to them.
In addition to the monetary donation, the charity will benefit from the added exposure to the problem by people seeing the straps of your “LIVE THONG” Refu-G-String riding above your low-cut jeans. Surely they too will want to donate $10 so that they can wear the “LIVE THONG” Refu-G-String with pride.
