Children in Need (and Keith Hill)

I ought to state straight away that I am not a fan of charities in general but have no particular axe to grind against Children in Need. I do, however, have a bit of an issue with "celebrities" forwarding their own careers by being associated with such campaigns.

So.... I have just been looking at the BBC website and see there is a new "ruse" of having a Bear Face day where you get a temporary tattoo of Pudsey's paw print and wear no make up for the day. To get this going we have photos of celebrities, presumably being extremely courageous, by being photographed without make up. Problem is that when you have a close look at the photos they are ALL wearing make up. Just exactly what is the point of it?

I reckon Keith Hill should do it.

 

What gets me is the whole, "your money could go a long way..." Erm... How about the millions you're earning by being a "celebrity"?

W*nkers!
