No really, I feel awful for those who were involved in this thing. From the reports, it seems like people got carried away with a TV "charity" stunt. Worst of all, the organizers had no clue what they were doing.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

It was just that whenever "TV" and "charity" appear in the same context, "ratings" is usually the operative word. If "celebrities" are also involved it's a tough call between "ratings" and "self-promotion".
Believe me, I've seen it enough. And I'd be surprised if you hadn't also.
And doesn't anybody get the Ja.maic.a-thing a few posts up!? I thought it'd be right up Zkribbler's alley.

This is my thread
The abolition of the relying on charity (not of the sentiment itself, naturally) and replacement by a tax-based social welfare system (i.e. the keeping of that system in continental Europe) is a more important issue in western societies than youth rights
