Make Poverty History
You know, organisations that spout lines like that make me incredibly sick. Mostly, because they are usually started by celebrities who have more money than the organisation will *ever* raise but also because well, their way of raising funds is to organise a big event that doesn’t earn much money and probably costs more to run than any funds it raises.
Take for example the wonderfully bogus live8 concert that was held not that recently. Half the singers present were hasbeens who are clearly trying to bring attention back on themselves, but if they really wanted to do something, why couldn’t they each donate a million or so dollars? It’s nothing to them, and it’s far more than the few people who still want to listen to these losers would ever give.
If they truly wanted to make poverty history, they’d get together in groups of six and play Russian Roulette. The losers would not only rid the world of their annoying and selfish presence, but the money that they waste on frivoloties could achieve incredible things in the right place. Not only that these horrible attention whores would be forever remembered in history..they all win!
