Let's recap some of the people recently speaking out about this Summer's Olympics in China: President Bush on Wednesday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Tuesday, the director of Jurassic Park in February, Danny Ocean two weeks ago, and a reported 30 monks in Tibet disrupted the select journalists allowed to enter their country yesterday.
Sure, President Bush may be most powerful man in the world, but he can't make a creamy delicious late night snack such as Americone Dream Ice Cream. That's right, Ben and Jerry are the latest to take a stand in China's treatment of Tibet.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., are sending a cross-country caravan to San Francisco - site of the only U.S. stop for the Olympic torch, on April 9 - to protest China's involvement in Sudan.The caravan will make pit stops at Ben & Jerry's ice cream shops along the route as well as a number of college campuses, presumably to give Phish fans their late night ice cream fix.
The convoy, which left Wednesday, consists of three vehicles sporting replicas of the Olympic torch and mobile billboards calling on China to "extinguish the flames of genocide in Darfur."

1. These guys do nothing but protest. I want to protest the price of their products. They are too damn high in my humble opinion.
