Do you think it is irresponsible for these Facebook members to encourage a 'carrot-buying panic' on May 15?

Tens of thousands of people all over the world are planning to "panic-buy" carrots as part of a campaign that started as a joke on a social networking site. More than 91,000 Facebook users have signed up to a Facebook group called "On May 15, 2008, everybody needs to go out and panic buy carrots". They plan to go out at 2pm on the designated day and buy as many carrots as they can. However, the idea has also caught the attention of critics, who say 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.
