The Gayken, Humanitarian

Filed under: Clay Aiken

wenn5132213__opt1.jpg

Clay Aiken was in the African nation of Somalia on Wednesday and appealed to the world not to forget Somalia, where conflict and hunger have created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

Clay traveled to the struggling nation as a U.N. goodwill ambassador.

Aiken went on to say that the U.S. and international interest in Somalia had been minimal since failed military intervention in the early 1990s, "There hasn't been much discussion of Somalia since the early 1990s in the U.S. The American population kind of got a bad taste of Somalia in the early 90's and hasn't really had much interest in the country since."

We tip our hat to Clay for getting involved and using his 'fame' for a good cause.

Did he take his boyfriend on the trip???

    Good for him. Doing good.
    Still, I think that its the countries own fault for the hunger, and such. If they don't have enough food or money for their children. Don't have children in the first place, you know? If I was not prepared, and couldn't raise a child in the "proper" way. Or have a great childhood for him or her. I wouldn't even think about bringing a child into the world. We have enough of that stuff going on in our own country/ies (I'm from Canada, but I know that it's going on in the USofA too) why don't we try to fix the problem in our own country/ies before trying to save another?

    The reason we forgot about Somalia is because when they asked us to help them they turned around and screwed us. I have no sympathy.

  34. Sean says – reply to this


    34

    Like I said before, everyone who speaks with a country twang, sounds gay. What did he ever do to you people, except try to entertain you with his voice and every chance you get - you trash him. I think what he is doing is great work. Leave him the hell alone.

  35. huda says – reply to this

    So, the horse says to Clay Aiken, "what's with the long face?"

  41. Me an says – reply to this


    41

    I know Canada hasn't forgotten Somalia….. Canadians are a minority as Somalians are over taking most cities! I don't mind except for the fact that my experience has only been negative with the males I've encountered as they have no respect for women!

  42. gina says – reply to this


    42

    I can't say I am a fan of his- but I really don't understand why everyone needs to rip on him so bad. Because he may be gay? Well, he has never done anything embarassing like half (or more) of H-wood has, he minds his business, and is actually very charitable. If people want to tease because of his appearance and personality, why not elton john? or neil patrick harris? Know what I mean? why doesn't anyone respect him, honestly? You want him to start acting like mushy fartone?

  43. bunny says – reply to this

    Perez is jealous because Gayken is prettier than him. poor ugly Perez…ssssssssso ooooooooo sad :(

    You're a fine one to talk about using someone's "fame" to promote a good cause. I know you think you're the rightful heir to Oprah's throne, but let's be realistic.

    You're famous for showing up to any event that will have you…flagrant self promotion and drawing really pathetic imitations of male anatomy on photos that you didn't take of people that you don't even know for that matter.

    You'd show up to a Wal-Mart in Topeka Kansas to sign adult diapers if, Depends Brand Undergarments asked you to. You'd show up in hell to promote BBQ grills if only someone would give you the chance. You're too much!

  48. sick says – reply to this


    48

    you people make me sick. God forbid a few thousand of our people die in a terrorist attack that we asked for, then the world must DROP EVERYTHING and come to our aid. Bravo to Clay… we are a HUMAN FAMILY who needs to look out for one another. You may be able to, but i know i cant watch millions of people starve and say "ha, they deserve it". you should be ashamed of yourselves. you too, perez. sometimes, believe it or not, there is something that matters more than which celebrity is sleeping with which. get a life.

  49. a**wi says – reply to this


    49

    why doesn't clay come to louisville where Somalian refugees are dropped in the middle of the projects and learn how to live the american thug life. kids hurl insults at adults, steal from other refugees, and punch random unknown people in the face. clay put you money where your mouth is, save the plane fare and photo op., because there are thousands of refugees in your own country. educate yourself.

    Since when does he give a shit about anyone other then himself?

    Well I guess good publicity is never bad.

    52

    Hey perez, why don't you get off your fat ass and do something good for the world instead of throwing in random "good cause" items.

    Walk the walk, pigez.

  53. rose says – reply to this


    53

    OMG MEN SHOULD NOT WEAR MAKE UP! THAT INCLUDES U PEREZ, YOU NOT OFF THE HOOK!. It's cool that you're gay and all, but I still like my perez with a little scruff

    Re: Sandr – : FUCK YOU! I'm Somali and I love my people and I feel for everything that's fucked up. If you were actually informed, you would know that 10000 Somalis died when only like 12 Americans died? People are people, you fucking prick

  58. HiBo says – reply to this


    58

    Re: Baz – OMFG! Black Hawk Down, you fucking idiot?! Compared to the amount of Somalis that died, the U.S got off easy, you prick! I'm a Somali born and raised in the U.S and I'm not as fucking ignorant as you!

  59. hibo says – reply to this


    59

    Re: Me an – : I'm a Somali female and I used to live in Canada, but was born and lived most of my life in the U.S. Somalis are taking over in some cities there, but we're not even a populous race. Our people are mixing and mixing. It's rare to see a pure Somali. In regards to the respect factor, those men are like that as a result of the garbage they see on t.v and are influenced by the "thug life" style. It's completely ridiculous. However, all Somali men are not like that. For example the Somali men of my family ROCK. =D

    Re: hana – Being that my husband was there in Somalia during the whole Blackhawk Down incident, I can say IT WAS THAT BAD!! They are all a bunch of heathens. You have friggin 10 year olds shooting at you and yet our soldiers get a bunch of crap from their own country when they shoot back and defend themselves. We were trying to go in there and help them and instead tons of Americans got killed. Fuck em! Lest we forget recently the slew of pirates (yes pirates) attacking ships off the coast there. Why should Americans waste money on those ingrates??

    Perez, seriously, are you fucking serious? You bash this guy every single chance you get, another gay guy so no humankind sympathy for one of your own, and you can't for one second realize he's more famous than you'll ever be? lcearly he's more evolved than you (dad in training) and he's a humanitarian. I ask you to please for the love of GOD tear down your fucking trash hole site once and for all. You're making us all feel bad for you. "Tip your hat…." don't fucking lie, hater.

    Where's Iman? David Bowies wife.She from Somalia.Why is'nt she out there for her country men.She's sitting around at home smelling each others Farts!



  77. 77

    Was that last sentence really called for? Despite the childish scribbling on the picture, it was a decent post until you got all bitchy at the end. It wasn't necessary and you know it, you should be ashamed of yourself.
    I ddn't realize that he was a UN Goodwill Ambassador. Someone may want to inform Angelina Jolie about this because she seems to think that she owns the title. At least Clay doesn't buy a tiny human souvenir from the countries he visits!

    Aiken has been doing humanitarian work for years long before he became famous. Even his high school friends talk about how he used to arrange charitable events for children, seniors & the disabled in his teens. He volunteered at the Y, ran summer camps for kids & with his first record advance from RCA & donations from fans started a foundation for disabled children. He's been a UNICEF ambassador for 4 years & has traveled at his own expense to Indonesia after the tsunami, to wartorn Uganda where his life was at risk, to Afghanistan where females are finally being allowed to go to school, to flood-ravaged Mexico over his Christmas holiday, & now the most dangerous area of Somalia. He's also volunteered time & money to many other children's charities. Aiken is one of the good guys & if Pukez cannot see that, it proves what a truly evil soul Pukez really is & all the sycophants who read his childish scribbles.
