“Having witnessed some of the appalling conditions in Africa firsthand, I’m especially proud that our show is offering Americans the chance to help those most in need,” said Cowell.

Hey Simon, you pompous British ass - America has long LED the world in giving. Our current president pledged billions of OUR tax money to help in Africa. Your cheesy show isn't starting anything new.

That's the point I was trying to make last night. It makes it look like we Americans don't do a damn thing. We have been giving endlessly for decades and still the world hates us. Enough already.

Red Nose Day is an extraordinary institution and I am hoping that IDOL GIVES BACK is an enormous success, raising awareness and huge amounts of money for all these wonderfully deserving causes, and allowing us to continue to make these important, world-changing shows for many years to come.”

Sounds like this may be an annual event. I think I'll vote that night by not watching the show.
