I think ...Thanks for your comments, Sister Shirley!<br />I think I know what you mean.<br />Does it say something about us that we are more inclined to help a beautiful celebrity to get back onto twitter, than to keep a dying person in the third world alive?<br />Is the image of a beautiful elegant death more motivating to us than the squalid reality?<br />It would be interesting to see if more funds would have been raised if the payoff was keeping these celebrities quiet, rather than bringing them back.Patrick McNallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264369363269384639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813821665597068396.post-58117253907016441982010-12-08T10:44:20.589-06:002010-12-08T10:44:20.589-06:00Oh my gosh, I'm not sure how I feel about this...Oh my gosh, I'm not sure how I feel about this! On one hand it's great that money's being raised for a worthy cause, but something about this campaign doesn't sit right with me.<br /><br />I'm not "offended" by it, yet I can't quite articulate what it is that doesn't feel quite right. The images are gorgeous ... wow, I can't figure it out! If I do I'll let you know.<br /><br />Still, it looks like an effective campaign that targets celebrities where they "live" these days, on social media.Sister Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197661544451120791noreply@blogger.com
