I think this is the first "serious" Jim Carrey clip I stumbled. And he has a terriffic message to boot.

Jim Carrey calls for people to support the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi. He also decries Burma's military regime for recruiting more child soldiers than any other country in the world, destroying 3,000 villages in eastern Burma, and forcing 1.5 million refugees to flee. He appeals to viewers to join two organizations: The Human Rights Action Center www.humanrightsactioncenter.org U.S. Campaign for Burma www.uscampaignforburma.org

Jim Carey urges us to support Aung San Suu Kyi's plight... at the same time...IN AN unprecedented move, Burma's military junta has just today, shut down a Rangoon monastery linked to the recent uprising and warned other temples not to offer sanctuary to its monks, according to local sources. Maggin monastery, a rare sanctuary for rural HIV-AIDS patients seeking treatment in Rangoon, has reportedly been raided four times since the uprising was suppressed, and its senior monk, Sayadaw U Indaka, is under arrest, detained at a secret location.
