i can't take it. seriously. she's sitting there getting all emotional. i just want to kill.
lets just take the last 5 minutes i saw.
ant & dec, flown out to africa to visit a few families who've suffered from from aids or something. yeah lads, it's a real nightmare i know it is. but you sit there faking those facial expressions of despair, while that big red DONATE sign flashed away in the corner of my screen?
fuck off you pair of pig-shit-thick media whores. how about this eh? i'll meet your donation. in fact, any so-called celebrity on BBC tonight, give me a ring - i'll meet your donation.
just show me one talentless cunt who is anywhere near actually "donating" 1p or more and i'll eat my fucking hat.
lets take loveable ant & dec for starters.
i have NO savings whatsoever. absolutely none. so anything i give to red nose day is from monthly in & out. i got no beef with that, we tighten the purse strings and maybe suffer in a couple of weeks time, but we give what we can.
it's great to see our loveable geordie chums, experiencing the darker side of africa. poverty, aids etc. but for those utter dyed hair, excessively make up, pair of cunts to DARE to ask me to ring in with a £10 donation?
tell you what chaps - i'll meet you. i'll match you. you donate your savings, then start to tap into monthly budget yeah? then me & you are equal, that almost makes it acceptable for you to ask me to donate.
fucking fucksake celebrity cunts.
if i see bono, ainsley harriet or that jamie oliver shitehawk on that bollocks tonight i will NOT accept responsibility for my actions.
Red Nose Day. Fuck off eh?

I would donate a modest sum of money just to get the piss-poor alleged comedian Lenny Henry off the screen as I can hear his loud annoying voice from my neighbours' telly...does he even have any other job these days?
I'm like Evel Knievel, I get paid for the attempt. I didn't promise this shit would be good!

Why have a go about Comic Relief ? I honestly can't figure it. Have a go, have a go, have a go at me, someone who's not tried hard enough to raise money for the charity instead of those who have !!!!
Come on, get fucking real.
Sometimes i wonder about this thing called the internet and, as it seems oh so very too often, how it spawns shite forums like this. I'm out of here.

I dunno - its obviously fucking easy - and pretty cynical - to lay into Comic Relief, the presenters, the graphic emotional undertow alternating with 'sketches', Terry Wogan getting paid 5 billion [or something] each year while the rest do it for free etc
BUT - I would consider all its efforts - for what it sets out to do and for what it achieves - a force of good in the world. In the simplest of terms. If nothing else it confirms the idea that people still give a shit.
Course your gonna have Ant & Dec and people like that - no fucker's gonna donate cash if it was some grumpy, miserable guy hellbent on murder on screen now would they?
Easy and pointless target. If you really want to vent some spleen why not on the government deciding to say 'black rain forever' and upgrade the UKs own WMDs at a cost that even Terry Wogan would find obscene - and presumably would require far less effort from things like Comic Relief if those funds were to be rediverted elsewhere...
But its for our childrens best interest, alledgedly. Along with the ID cards, the chips at birth, and the rehabilitation of Noel Edmonds...

I'd agree with Jig and Bza.
The event raised 40 million quid for genuinely good causes. Does it matter what they trundled out in order to do so? If a load of current or has-been celebrity types saved a single life by being silly on prime TV then it was worth it.
Seriously mate - bugger off to http://www.grumpycunt.com

Just to clarify - I wasn't criticising Red Nose Day itself, I'm sure it does a lot of good in raising money to help people in need. I do have reservations about some of the charitable causes it supports, as they pick up the slack where governments and worldwide institutions should have taken responsibility. Look at Live Aid's shortcomings; it was a naieve short term solution in 1985 to a much longer term problem that still needs fixing...however I don't want to go on a political rant here.
My problem last night was I was working feverishly into the night on the computer - something that required a lot of attention to detail and little distraction. However hearing Lenny Henry's annoying carry-on blaring through the walls really riled me - considering how many other genuinely funny people contributed I don't understand why that bloke gets to carry the show...if Ricky Gervais was presenting it I probably would have watched. Anyways got the neighbours back today with a loud selection of Jesus and Mary Chain's dirtiest guitars!
Good call on GC.com whoever that was - possibly the funniest place on the net when you in the mood, though clearly populated/posted on by some very odd folks indeed.

yeah, a little addition from me...
thanks to all those who've replied - especially those who've proudly pointed out that comic relief actually DOES bring in money for charity. yeah, i errrr, never knew that.
so last night made £40m? wow!! almost the equivelant of £1 per UK adult. all satisfied with their annual donation. and where is this going?
aye, same as last year - whatever proportion Africa gets, it's just a huge elastoplast hiding the wound that this annual backslapping fest kindly donates; hiding the same problems as last year. but no worries - we're all happy, because our £1 is part of it.
12 months time we'll have some nonentity, working for free (exclduing expenses though eh) travelling to that dying continent to show how much good we did on friday.
if people want to feel proud of this then great.
i think it stinks.

it's a sign of the times mate. people generaly only give when they recieve. the media controlls a large proportion of our country be it overtly or covertly. to be honest i'm dubious about how much of the money gets to africa etc but however much does i do not think the african are going to turn around and go 'lenny henry? fuck off! i'd rather die from aids!' that was a bit over the top but i think it gets my thoughts across.apesgrapes wrote:yeah, a little addition from me...

"WITH A SPRING IN HIS STEP AND FEELING FULL OF PEP, IT'S... MR AGREEABLE!
IT'S that time of year again - “Red Nose Day” rolls around on March 16. A cavalcade of comedians will be doing their bit to raise the rafters with a few laughs as well as raise millions for charity, with Africa once again among the key beneficiaries as Comic Relief strives to create a “world free from poverty”. This year's extravaganza is in part sponsored by Sainsbury's.
Imagine, if you f***ing will, folks, what the world was like before Comic Relief. Why, you'd barely recognise the f***ing place – Africa was a fetid f***ing cesspool of poverty, despotism and corruption, the West was a consuming itself into an early f***ing grave, spoonfed by a diminishing f***ing handful of increasingly f***ing bloated corporations. Thanks to Comic Relief, however, the West is consuming itself into an early f***ing grave, spoonfed by a diminishing f***ing handful of increasingly f***ing bloated corporations, Africa is a f***ing cesspool of poverty, despotism and corruption but now they have two new f***ing water pumps thanks to Dawn c***ing French and Ade twatting Edmondson! Don't you get it, you docile f***ing c***s? I f***ing appreciate the likes of f***ing Victoria Wood and Lenny f***ing Henry reminded me of how life isn't all laughter and sunshine by attempting f***ing comedy routines! But you'd have more chance of alleviating f***ing world hunger by launching giant catapults filled with f***ing custard pies from the f***ing Norfolk plains and hoping they reach f***ing Africa, than by going to bed with the f***ing giant retailing outlets, goosestepping over the f***ing faces of the world's emaciated and f***ing starving! A world free from poverty is a world free from f***ing Sainsburys, you clueless f***ing cockgrinders! And a world free of f***ing Richard Curtis's criminally obscene f***ing bank balance, fattened from the profits of such masterpieces as “Giant Underpants, Actually”, the specky f***ing arsewart!"

but it's only just better than nothing.
comic relief brings in £40m a year, the lottery £5bn. people would rather throw £5bn something which, while benefitting good causes, has created nearly 2000 millionaires. the reason they give is the latter, not the former.
every time comic relief is congratulated for this pitiful annual intake, it relieves a bit more pressure from everyone. its over for another year; we've done our bit. next week we can go back to the lotto.
i'll quit now - the lotto is another bugbear; it uses false hope bribes away money that should be going to needy causes.
i also hate how 4x4s have become the new pariah for society.

i agree with the general aims of it, but quite frankly its an excuse for most people not to feel guilty about ignoring the tramp on the way back from work the other 364 days of the week. If i'm going to give to a worthy cause, i will and i will do so because i want to, because i believe in that cause, not because Davina McCall is imploring me with fake tears (theres a reason you're a presenter not an actress love, you're not fooling anyone) and i will give to that cause all year round, in so far as i can afford to, not just on one, solitary day of the year.
Also, its just not funny. It used to be, when it first started, but its not anymore. Hasn't been for a long time, in fact. Probably happened when Lenny Henry first started. and don't get me started on the 'wacky' things people do in schools and offices.
