    I hate getting into these comparisons but people made the Haiti relief vs Japan comparisons so I might as well bring the Somalian famine disaster into the discussion. I guess I won't make a comparison its just that I read this article thinking "gees I wish running fundraisers and charity donation campaigns was as popular with the Somalian situation as it was (and still is) with Japan relief.
