Columbians rallied against the kidnapping and murder of citizens over the weekend were joined by other Latin American countries and supporters from around the world with the help of a Facebook campaign.

Wearing white T-shirts, the protests against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, was created last month ago on the social networking platform. More than 100,000 people in 165 cities around the world confirmed their participation.

In the capital city of Bogota, thousands of people chanted “Freedom” and even television was suspended regularly scheduled programing at anchors even wore white T-shirts to promote peace. It is believed that across Columbia, 4 million citizens were involved in the protest.

FARC, according to Colombia’s government, is holding more than 700 hostages, including three U.S. military contractors and former French-Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, whom it is trying to swap for imprisoned rebels.

Invitations to the march flew through the Internet and marches were also held in Venzuala, Sweden, and Madrid.

Not every one is supportive of the protest. Some family members of kidnapped citizens are fearful that the protest will cause retaliation.

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
