So I see this stand up to cancer telethon on tv while working out at the gym.  Then I get home and read a little tidbit of a story about it on yahoo.com.  Telethons, fundraiser running, concerts for charity etc... It makes me think about how many fucking resources go into creating these events in order to gather more resources to fund something else. Most of the time the something else is usuallly something more noble than the event itself. Some of the times with such things it just seems as if we should ever have to waste resources on an event to raise money and promote awarness of a problem. I think these things are an endemic sign of the the exact opposite of what they are trying to stand for. In other words these things are meant to show come kind of caring stance for a certain cause, but to me they highlight the utter lack of attention to the causes themselves. It is like if you need a telethon or something to raise money for blind little kids because they can't get help there is a serious problem and the affects of a telethon will not address root causes.  Sure it may make some assclowns feel good about themselves but it ignores the real problems or exactly why these blind little kids can't get help.
