The power of advertisement

Log start: 9:57pm Saturday June 20th 2009

Usually i'm not one to fall into advertisement. When commercials come on the TV about feeding children elsewhere for a month with just 5 dollars, i say to myself "what...the...heck...?"

Some people might find me cold and heartless, but i just dont understand why.
i am well aware that there are people who are less fortunate than i am, yes.
if you want to donate and care for those children. go ahead.

but listen here. what happens to them after they live off your 5 dollars? ask more people for 5 dollars? live on welfare and the bread of others?

THINK ABOUT IT.

Some of them DO have a chance to succeed, but i feel that the chance of them comming out of their social sphere is little to none.
So you would let them grow up to reproduce, and then let their child live off of donations too?

WUT?
i know it's heartless, but i'm not telling them to go die either, i'm telling them to go get a job -_-

Or that was what i thought.

Until Girls' Generation came along. <---- nice life brian, you're mad ghetto

SNSD did a section last winter where they were going around a busy street collecting money for starving children in various places including north korea.
and their facial expressions were just like OMG <3
because it was like

"1000 won (1 USD) can let a starving child eat for a week!"
and then they go on signing autographs for people who donated, and then this group of high school girls were like SCREAMING when they saw them and was like OMGOMG I'LL DONATE.

And then i thought to myself.

Yes, i would donate to them and feed them for half a year if SNSD came to flushing, and walked around the streets asking for donations.
i know it's a little sad, but... ok look. what if someone that you really enjoy (chose my word carefully) came up to you with a puppy face asking you to feed children for a month?

i'd be like, fuck, where's my camera hold on hold on
HEY GUYS, TAKE A PICTURE OF ME DONATING TO A GOOD CAUSE, NEXT TO MY FAVORITE GIRLS BAND, SNSD. REMEMBER TO GET ALL NINE OF THEM IN THE PICTURE.

The power of advertisement. powerful in deed.

enough to change a mans words.

for a second at least........
