What is it about all these high paid celebs telling us what charity to give money to?

Question

What is it about all these high paid "celebs" telling us what to do with our hard earnt money and who the hell do they think they are?

Most of them are MINOR OR HAS BEENS anyway, trying to make a comeback or name for themselves, not to mention shed loads of cash for THEMSELVES.

Then, Just to really p*** us off they throw in a Celeb like Bob Geldof or Bono, who have enough money themselves to clear most of the third world Countries debt out of their own pockets and still have enough change to buy several small countries and still never work another day.

The likes of Bob, Bono, Lenny Henry and Jamie oliver should stop telling us what to do with OUR MONEY

Helping these Countries is a good idea, But we as individuals should be able to give to whatever charities apeal to us and not what these rich or mega rich celebs tell us to, shouldn,t we?

Answer 1

They're just giving out their opinions, right? There's no reason to get angry at all.

Answer 2

How has Geldof earned his millions when the rest of the Boomtown Rats are broke and now doing ordinary jobs, one is in fact a plumber. Geldof has ripped off the public along with his mate Bono while they live the life of luxury. Same goes for Heather Mills, Lenny Henry and all the rest of them who jump on the bandwagon for publicity more than anything else. The Tsunami Fund still hasn't got the money people donated for that, the Diana Memorial Fund just build a faulty storm drain that turned out to be a waste of money, meanwhile the thirld world countries are still starving while the people behind these so-called charities are multi-millionaires. And they pay Terry Wogan £9,000 to get out of bed for an evening's 'work'. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this.

Answer 3

You are right, they think by doing a bit of smiling with poor third world people and begging us to give money that they are doing their bit. Its the same on the Charity reality tv shows, most of the contestants are out of work and go on them to raise their own profiles but just happen to say, please vote it goes to charity.

They could all give a lot more money than we ever could and they would never know the difference. They have more money than they will ever need and we never ever hear them say "Im giving a hundered thousand this year" or anything like that.

Answer 4

Yes, you are spot on , why don't they tell each other to give to the poor of this country that are living from day to day on the edge of no tomorrow, all these celeb's are not very good example for our kids of the future, the wealth they all posses would sort all the hunger worldwide, but no don't talk about their money!!,just let them rant how good they are!! "not" they MAKE ME SICK.

Answer 5

they are getting paid to tell you what charity's to give to!!! people think that if they put a celebrity on their campain then people will listen....for the reason it is has beens and minors, they know that their careers are done but they can't get enough of the spot light....you have the choice to give to whoever you want to...i don't feel a gun pointed to my head telling to take out my wallet...you can ignore them and choose your own...its that easy i think we should start helping out people in our own neighborhoods you would be surprised how many are starving and homeless yet we are giving all of our money away to these other countries and i don't see them comming over here or sending us money to help our homeless and starving.... : (

Answer 6

they can give monet too.
