Celebrities Say F--k You to Famine [VIDEO]

A host of celebrities have joined anti-poverty advocacy group ONE to launch a PSA campaign fighting the growing famine in Somalia.

The video features an all-star cast including George Clooney, Bono, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Ewan McGregor, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mike Huckabee, Colin Farrell and more. The premise is that "famine" is the real "F-word," and therefore the real obscenity.

ONE, an advocacy platform, is hoping users will watch the video and donate their voice by signing a petition and following up with the appropriate policy-makers. There's also a French version where some of those same celebs bravely stumble over the language barrier.

ONE estimates more than 30,000 Somali children have died in just three months. Major networks including AOL, MTV, Facebook, Discovery and YouTube have also signed on to broadcast the message.
