Cynical? Me?

I am all for charity...be it charity for other people...or charity for me, which I have to admit never happens as Ive never collected for it ;) , however there is something about Red Nose day which I cannot help being cynical about.

As good publicity as it is to draw attention to the worlds plight by using "celebrities" I cant help but feel they are making a token gesture. Like they are taking a day out of their wealthy, well turned out lives to help the people less fortunate. Then the next day they can go about their fabulous lives. I guess this pretty much applies to all of us, but it all feels too fake for my liking. The fact that they could probably each give a million pounds to a charity and not have it affect their bank balance lies heavy with me.

Maybe I am just too cynical.
