p.s A disgusting move by BingLee using there @ilikebinglee twitter account to tell people they will donate $1 for every person who 'likes' their Facebook page. The donation is capped at $10,000. I'm not sure whose idea it was to do this but they should be sacked and Bing Lee should hang it's head in shame.
Though Bing Lee's comments were, as you point out 'disgusting' how is it any better than any of the other charity marketing going on?
ReplyDeleteSydney buses has large signs on them asking people to donate to Channel 9's flood appeal. Stores like Coles and Cotton On are flogging their own flood appeals.
And really, this is something that extends further as well - pink capped bottles of water? Loaves of bread that are somehow related to Movember?
Bing Lee was wrong but everyone's doing it.
