From the YouTube description:
1.4 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day. But how much is 1.4 billion, really? That is 1 in every 5 people on this earth live in poverty. Statistics like this can be hard to comprehend. For every egg you see falling, remember that there are 1 million people in the world living on less than $1.25 a day.
1 egg = 1 million people
1,400 eggs = 1.4 billion peopleTo learn more about global poverty, go to PovertyWeek.com.
What? That seems like a really serious problem that more people should be aware of and working towards alleviating, but I’m really not sure I understand how a bunch of flannel dudes dropping eggs off of a garage roof gets the point across. I do love that they put a tarp down. MOM WILL BE SO MAD IF YOU GOT EGGS ON THE AZALEA BUSHES! “Eggs on a tarp are easy to clean up. Global poverty isn’t. Let’s put a tarp under the poor eggs.” SERIOUSLY, I DO NOT GET THIS!

“I could’ve eaten those, asshole” – 1.4 billion people
Pretty egg-centric.
Well, at least they blew through a few hundred dollars and 117 dozen eggs to make their point about all those people who don’t have money or eggs.
I really hope there was some matching fund thing going on here, so for every dollar they wasted on eggs, they donated a dollar to an organization that actually does shit to combat poverty.
Nobody can eat 1.4 billion eggs.
Oh yeah?
just watch this for a few months.
forgot Dennis Hopper was in that!
poverty is nothing to yolk about.
Well if you don’t support this, why are you posting it for others to watch? The increased hit count is just going to egg them on.
yes, the message here is a bit scrambled.
Nog it off, you two.
All the good puns have been poached.
Look on the sunny side; it may have seemed over-easy, but at least the hard boiled hearts of a few were cracked.
If you guys like this, you’re going to looove my new anti-domestic battery campaign.
i would love to see chris brown get egged.
Why is no one asking Krispy Kreme for contributions to this cause? He has 400 houses AND 400 mouses!
Well, that was supposed to be a link to KK’s first hit single “The Baddest” so you could all see the kind of caviar wishes life he leads:

This is seriously one of those “brain hurty” things…I can’t wrap my mind around the waste created to supposedly bring awareness to this particular cause.
One smashed egg is a tragedy. 1,400 smash eggs is a statistic.
That guys shirt was WAY too tight and i hope those eggs were cage free.
Really I thought his shirt was exactly the correct amount of tight for ogling.
