Yes, we all know the song. I'm sure neither Bob Geldof nor Bono will let us forget, as well as half the celebrity population.
One thing bothers me though. The whole song is meant for us to feel sorry and send all our money to starving children in Africa, and they play it every Christmas, for us to show our Christmas spirit.
Now, I remember clearly those geography lessons where they tried to teach us children that the difference between the northern and southern hemisphere was the fact that they have summer when we have winter.
Now. As the lyrics go; "there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time". Another one of these geography lessons I clearly remember Africa was nearly completely in the southern hemisphere, and we all know it doesn't snow in summer time...
Now Christmas is a set date, and since summer falls in december in the southern hemisphere, Christmas is always in the summer.
So should we feel bad cos Africa has nice weather on Christmas?
