Can you keep a secret? Because, it seems as if lately the whole world can.

Two cartoons about the crisis in Darfur by Mark Fiore:

If you want something a little less humorous why don't you look at this campaign add by protectdarfur:

I wish I could say things have changed... they haven't. The crisis in Darfur is going from bad to worse... and, although these adds may seem too intense... getting people to notice isn't easy.

This TV ad was Rejected by ABC, CBS, and NBC: http://www.beawitness.org/video

Send Bill O'Reilly To Darfur
E&P (via Romenesko): "New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof resumed his exchange with TV/radio talkster Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday, asking readers to contribute to a fund to send O'Reilly to Darfur. Kristof said he would ante up the first $1000."

"Imagine the furor Mr. O'Reilly could stir up if he publicized the hundreds of thousands of rapes, murders and mutilations in Darfur. He could save lives on a grand scale," Kristof wrote in the Times.

O'Reilly apparently said there's no way he can go to Africa because he does three hours of daily news analysis on TV and radio. But Kristof replied that with a satellite phone, "you can do your show from anywhere."

E-mail sponsorbill@gmail.com and say how much you're willing to pay toward O'Reilly's expenses in Darfur.
