Default George Clooney's satellites help build human rights case in Sudan

http://www.time.com/time/world/artic...101425,00.html

A celebrity that is putting money where his mouth his. Also He is dreamy.

The ICC documents obtained by TIME show a significant portion of this new investigation is based on data from the Satellite Sentinel Project, a network of private spy satellites and analysts organized by George Clooney in partnership with John Prendergast's Enough Project. The satellites have been snapping pictures of northern Sudan since December of last year. "We are the antigenocide paparazzi," Clooney told TIME then.

Now this is how celebrities need to approach their causes. Buy some frickin' spy satellites.

How is this possible? In one sentence you pluralize a word with an apostrophe (HINT: THIS IS WRONG) and in another, you do it correctly, but incorrectly pluralize a different word with an apostrophe. Do you just randomly throw them in and hope it's right?

I also enjoyed hwo he spelled a word two different ways in one post. It was like he went "Ah, F it, at least one of them will likely be correct", lol.

Crazy that Cloony can get spy satellites, Cameron can build amazing technology that can go 11,000 metres under water, but Jim Balsillie couldn't get a hockey team.
