Forget Winona. Forget Katie. Definitely forget Paris. Jim Carrey wants to focus on a new campaign: Free Aung San. The suddenly serious funnyman has taken to YouTube, releasing a public service announcement that calls for the release of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, a peace activist and icon of Burmese democracy who has been placed under long-term house arrest for her nonviolent efforts against the Southeast Asian nation’s ruling military regime. Its easy sitting in luxury and talking about what other countries should be doing. I am sure Burma has its own political problems but that is the case with every country be it a Democracy or Communist country. I rather suggest Jim that you ask USA to control the brutality that its soldiers are doing on a daily basis in Iraq and elsewhere. Jim get out of the home comforts and visit one of these devastated places to have a look for yourself. I needn’t say much after this. Surely you have some good cause to work on.
