Blah Blah Flowers

And this goes for all you other charities too. I will donate to you as and when I see fit. However, if you keep sending me letters and, ooh, phone calls now, to try and get me to set up standing orders to donate to you then I will make it my personal mission to shit on the head of every African AIDS baby. Seriously. I'm currently suffering from A Lack of Proper Perspective so I suggest you leave me the fuck alone.

Far be it from me to gloat but stupid 'buy more shit, we'll give a pittance to charity' campaign Red hasn't done that well saving the world so far.

This whole (Red) business annoys me. Whilst I don't doubt the sincerity of the individual people involved, I'm leary of the way charity these days has become swallowed up by business, "Buy £100 of Gap products and we'll give 3p to buy African children AIDS medicine!", "LGBT Mardi Gras bought to you by Stagecoach!" and so on. It's fucking Bono working to get scraps from the masters table in between arguments about hats rather than Bono putting his time and effort into changing the world so African AIDS children get the drugs they need BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT FUCKING THING TO DO. Anyway, if you'd rather treat your charity as a fashion add-on, Blog(Red).
