It seems every time I put the TV on I'm confronted with celebrities telling me to give money to some poor country. There's Phil Collins; "Just £500 will pay to feed this small village" ...Then fucking give it to them! For Christs sake.
I'm sure they feel they're doing the world a great favor doing these "charitable" things, but in all honesty they're not doing it for free, 99% of the time they're getting paid for it!
And then you get these damn adverts about child abuse (but don't get me wrong, I'm all for it), but instead of having it after a crappy perfume advert or something, they put them on after a funny advert, so you're sat there giggling to yourself, and suddenly a baby that hasn't eaten in three weeks pops up! And you're laughing! Way to make me feel guilty! Damn.
But I have to wonder where the money goes for these charities, I mean two years ago I saw the advert and it said "32,000 children are known to be at risk right now". Then just today I see the advert and it says exactly the same; they haven't done much then have they!?
But in all seriousness charity is a wonderful thing, it helps to make many rich bastards even richer, and that must be good...
Thanks for reading!
