Will, I Am a Naysayer

Uh oh! Will.I.am, he of crap.py quartet the Black Eyed Peas, got a big head in light of the success of his "Yes We Can" video. Prepare to be positive video-ed to death.

On Thursday in New York City, Will, his band mate apl.de.ap, musician Angelique Kidjo, actress Kristin Davis and model Elle Macpherson all helped launch a "new" campaign to halve global poverty by 2015. Neat, if not really new.

In fact, this campaign is an initiative to help revitalize a plan originally put into motion eight years ago by the United Nations. Many of the countries the UN had hoped would be well on their way to destroying poverty by now are nowhere near achieving their goals. Clearly, this is a job for apl.de.ap.

First we need to end corruption, then we might be able to end poverty. Anyone got some guns?

Yeah..Will.I.Am couldn't really give any input on the conversations being had. Wasn't he there with Naomi Klein…yeah..matched minds. When Bill was reading the new rules he was laughing with a really confused smile.

Clever way of using periods in William though..really.
