I didn't even know they were doing a telethon. I guess I'm really out of touch with popular culture.

Woo-hoo!

Everyone please call and donate .50cents . Thats it, call back every ten minutes and donate another .50 cents. Show them what a waste of time this is.

Really funny how these tools want us to donate more of our money. We already have donated so much. We have given to charities and had our tax money allocated to these people. All these fools are doing is grandstanding to show the asinine people who worship them how much they care. What a bunch of sanctimonious frauds.

Madonna doing "Imagine" Is pretty tasteless. Not only did the original song suck but Madonna's version sucked plus it wants one to imagine what the world would be like with out religion.
Not that people shouldn't be allowed to say such things but its pretty rude to sing it at a telethon.

I chose to put in "Any Given Sunday" instead.

Just stumbled across this on TV. I am really disturbed by this.

Not that Hollywood (I use that term loosly - obviously there many of the performers are not based in Hollywood. But the people manning the phones and giving us these PSAs are) is reaching out to aid the victims and victim's families, that is noble and good...

Rather, that Hollywood (and the media establishment in general) en masse seem to be selective in their compassion.

I can't put my finger on what it is that truly upsets me about this event. I'm trying to put it into words... hypocrisy and vanity are two that immediately come to mind, but I remind myself that I am cynical (at best) when it comes to these Hollywood money-raising ventures.

It taxes my mind and the effort seems pointless.

Maybe I am wrong, and this is genuine goodness. I hope I am wrong.

Nobody is watching the telethon anyway. There's an NFL playoff game on Fox.

I wish someone would contact the organizers of this dog and pony show and ask them if the would like to participate in a telethon for the benefit of our injured Iraq War Vets. Don't hold your breath.

The only use I ever had for these looneys other than asking them to entertain me for a couple of hours on a screen somewhere was when I spent a night with well known actress. Ironically she is known as one of the loopiest ones.

We had to turn it off. Madonna was horrible. She butchered that song.

This is just fixin' to come on (on the west coast). The reviews so far aren't kind, I see. (HA)

Understand one thing about most celebrity types, if they think a camera might be present ... they would show up for a letter opening.
