Save Greece

A new movement in Hollywood, which is believed to be created and initiated by the famous Greek comedian and actor Zach Galifianakis, is "Save Greece". 

The stars of Hollywood mobilized to contribute to the extinction of the Greek financial debt. The whole movement has a logo of the map of Greece and the inscription "Save Greece", holding banknotes and a tie (symbolising the people who wear ties and who contributed towards the downfall and the spread of Greece's economy). 


The t-shirt with the logo have become a fashion in Hollywood. They cost $100 and proceeds from sales go towards repaying the country's debt.  


Currently many famous actors are photographed wearing them, some being Charlie Sheen, Gisele, Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Bono, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and the list is expanding rapidly. Currently they are only sold in the U.S. but they will soon be available in Europe. 


Some believe that this is a farce and that the pictures are fake. Even if this is true, it is interesting to see how awareness concerning a serious matter as this can spread, not only in political and economic circles, but everywhere.
