Fall Out Boy has a really cool video out now:
I don't know if you are familiar with the Invisible Children films or the cause but I would ask you to visit their website, www.invisiblechildren.com, and take a look at what's going on. I have had friends working with them before, one in particular that went to Africa to do mission work with the group. It's a very worthwhile cause to be educated on and help in whatever way you can. My college did a lot of fundraisers when the first film emerged (and I believe it is still one of the big causes that gets support there) to offer assistance and I was really excited to see most everyone in my school come together for one thing. In a small school that was usually quite divided on most things, everyone saw a need and did what they could when we worked for Invisible Children.
It may upset you to check it out and honestly, I hope it does. These things we should not turn a blind eye to or gloss over. Terrible things are happening for some people and if we are in a position that we can do something, anything, let's do it. Christmas is coming and you could buy bracelets to give as gifts (they are made by the children), or make a donation in someone's name. Even if you just raise awareness and post a link, banner, or video on your website/blog/networking profile, you are doing something.
