Now get this for completed bloody madness, we all know there are sad people in the world and it seems that 111,918 of them have joined the weird party. 111,918 Facebook users are planning a Global Campaign to buy carrots.

All of these people all over the world are planning a mass global “Panic Buy” carrots that started as a joke on this famous social networking site. The group in Facebook is called “On May 15, 2008, everybody needs to go out and panic buy carrots“.

The plan is for all of these members to go out on the day set at 2pm and buy as many carrots as they can, even though this all started off as a joke it seems to have got the attention of news groups and critics, the critics are saying it is irresponsible to deprive shoppers of the “orangey goodness of everyone’s favourite vegetable”.

The opposing Facebook group “Don’t add to world hunger, don’t panic-buy carrots” has attracted just 29 members (Opps looks like everyone wants carrots).

“To the carroty people who are saying this could never happen - maybe you should be thankful for the imminent rise we are probably going to make it your profits on May 15.”
Apparently they want to get at least one million members in the group, the debate on the site is that what to do with the spare carrots on the following day? Well another Facebook group has sprung up to provide answers. It proposes a day of “taproot-based generosity and carroty philanthropy” on May 16. This group only has 986 members who plan to make panic buy carrots into soups and other dishes.
