Children In Need is just a bad mashup of all bad Saturday TV

 

Well its been a while since we have had a charity event, lets put Children In Need back on.

Here we go again, 4 hours of really bad celebrity jokes, japes, dancing, singing, choreography all in aid of helping children in need ...... but what they still neglect to tell you (as all charity organsations do) is that a large portion of your good hearted donations.... go to Admin and Taxes.... *BOOOOO  HISSSSSS*

Whats wrong with a well informed charity 'telethon'? instead of showing you miserable, tailored images of extremely deprived children (which the younger generation are pretty much desensitized to anyway thanks to Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Resident Evil) and then images of a year later when everything is happy and awesome and the rains have come like a miracle (no-its called the rainy season), a celebrity has gone out there and is amazewd to see how life has changed and how it has affected their lives... blah blah blah.

The script is the same, the face is different. We aren't stupid.... just some people pay less attention than others.

Does no one remember the big C.i.N scandle a few years ago?????  Seems not.

Don't mistake me, I understand that people need help sometimes and I do give to charities but ones I know make a difference- like Help for Heros, The British Red Cross, MS Society, etc.

Sigh, maybe I just live on a different plane of reality... I'm frequently told I do and the voices definately agree with THAT, besides, it's  more fun anyway.

So, back on topic, in rebellion against Children in Need and its 4 hours of crap tv, followed by an hour of BBC News analysis of how 'awesome' (crap), I am going to the cinema, to watch 30mins of adverts for films that look awesome but Ill forget I want to see, followed by the new Twilight film and popcorn that tastes excellent, but is a pain to get out of your teeth. =)

The Voices and I agree... charity tv events suck and you should either escape to the cinema or move to the Sahara Desert.
