God forbid a charitable cause cuts into some TV time.
whats your deal dude? did i not say i was watching it and it was heartwarming?
It's a good cause, but their main immediate problem is not supplies, but the lack of infrastructure to get those supplies where they need to be. This will help to rebuild if corruption doesn't keep it from the people who need it.
I believe the ":sad:" got me under the impression that you have a problem with raising awareness for these people. Dont forget the added
I'm not a Taylor Swift fan, but hearing her perform an excellent Better Than Ezra b-side was pretty cool. There have been quite a few good covers. Shakira butchering The Pretenders was painful.
It's been quite a showing by all sorts of celebrities thus far.

I'm anxious to see how he tops he $4.8MM for Mine That Bird in a mink Snuggie watching restricted NFL Super Bowl footage.
Just because they're airing the same thing doesn't mean people are watching their channel.
Guess it just me but I feel like hanging myself after watching 2 hours of that. The music made me feel like I was at a funeral. Just because you're raising money for a tragic event like this doesn't mean that you can't rock. Hell I heard Larry King had Snoop Dog
Commence calling me an *******, but I'm starting to get Haiti'd out... I've donated, but now I'm just ready to let my dollars go to work and go about my life.
Ready...... Commence the lynching...

Nothing like entertainers pimping themselves out to get in on free publicity.
Some of them actually THINK they're doing good, but this is all about keeping your image current. Agents everywhere were popping Tums, hoping "their" star gets a decent billing, in an effort to exploit other peoples' pain and suffering.
Did you know that there actually are a small number of celebs who quietly do charity work? Harrison Ford, for instance, donates scads of time and money to do search and rescue work with his aircraft. Oh, and risks his precious hide, to boot.

Yeah celebs shouldn't use their star power to help others in need.
While most of the celebs are probably donating, I am willing to bet they didnt go on this telethon and perform for free. I'll be real interested to see how this money is spent in Haiti.
Actually, they do perform for "free". But the P.R. value of doing this is tremendous. So, to see this is "heartwarming" is questionable, in my eyes. More like a cold heartless calculation.
As far as how the money is spent, I'll give you 10 to 1 odds on mostly wasted. What is needed is an evaluation of what is needed, where and how badly.
