Is Matt Damon on a toilet strike?

Matt Damon has released a humorous video for World Toilet Day to raise awareness of the lack of toilets in the world. In the video, Damon, co-founder of water.org, is seen in a press conference about to announce some 'breaking' news.

Damon goes on to talk about how the invention of toilets have saved the lives of millions and explain why the world needs more toilets.

He then announces that he will go on a toilet strike. "And so in protest of this global tragedy, until this issue is resolved, until everybody has access to clean water and sanitation, I will not go to the bathroom," Damon says in the video.

The reporters gasp, with one asking him, "Do you mean literally, like you won't go to the bathroom, but will go somewhere else like maybe a swimming pool?"

Damon responds, "You're the reporter, you do the math."

The funny video surely brings attention to the worldwide cause. The water.org campaign urges people to sign up for the strike - those who want to support to cause to provide toilets, sanitation and water to everyone can visit www.strikewithme.org.

"Matt Damon, co-founder of Water.org, is taking a stand for the water crisis," the website states. "Watch his announcement and support the strike by signing up to make your voice heard online through Water Day, March 22, 2013."
