The BBC:

The United Nations has launched an appeal for a record $4.7bn (�2.7bn) to help more than 30 million victims of war, famine and natural disaster.

The amount is equal to global military spending in 48 hours, UN emergency relief co-ordinator Jan Egeland says.

"We can afford to clothe, to feed, to care for all of the children of this world," he told the BBC's World Today.

Would that be before or after your cut?

..."We are asking exactly the amount of 48 hours of military spending in this world, or we're asking for the equivalent of two cups of coffee per rich person."

Here ya go. Hold still, I'll pour another one.

"U.N. Man" rides to the rescue! (Via The London Fog, who appropriately calls the video "ghastly." Warning: music and extremely bad voice acting.)
