So I get an email on Facebook tonight. It was from a reader, begging me to help raise awareness about a cyclone that recently hit and devastated Myanmar.
The cyclone hit on May 2, devastated much of the area, and the final fatality count is expected to be around 100,000 lives.
You know what, you guys?
I had
never even fucking heard of this cyclone.
And I think of how the entire world reached out to us to help after Hurricane Katrina, and I just think about what an awful, stereotypical American I am, and it kind of makes me feel sick.
And I hate to go all Perez Hilton on you guys and be like "Donate to this cause!" but I figured it's kind of the least I can do to make amends for the fact that I know what happened on
30 Rock last week, because I came home and watched it after getting a pedicure and buying new heels, but I didn't know that a cyclone killed 100,000 people in Myanmar last week and left an entire region in total devastation.
