Video Here.
So, the idea of this day/project/idea or whatever you want to call it is to go barefoot for one day in order to "help" less fortunate people, ie those who cannot afford shoes. Can someone please, please tell me how on earth not wearing shoes is going to help anyone? Oh, that's right, it won't. "But wait, it could raise awareness!" Bullshit. Who isn't already aware that there are poor people in the world? If you don't want to wear shoes in order to help poor people, then send your footwear to Africa. Or, I don't know, make a donation to an organization. Don't just do something awkward to pretend that you're part of some hip social movement. Seriously. Put your shoes back on and do something productive for a change.

I just wanted to say I totally agree with this. Who would come up to a person not wearing shoes and ask, "Hey what is the purpose of you going barefoot today?!" I certainly wouldn't. I kept my shoes on today not only because it was cold but because I think it'd be a more effective to donate or something. Also I found the video very...I don't know if I want to call it interesting.
