Begging adverts

I saw a recent tv advert that went something like.... Ula has six children, the eldest has a two hours walk every day for water, and thats a contaminated spring.... Please give etc etc.
Sever point people, first off was having lots of children where theres bugger all water and food a good idea? Secondly your living in a bloody mud hut, why build it so far away from water in the first place (and where did you get the water for the mud)  It's called natural selection, the dumbest die out. 

But sadder, even if we wish to help these people (and frankly I don't) theres pretty well nothing we can do, your £3 (or whatever) isn't really going to help.  Why you ask?  Because the first 50.000 or so peoples £3 will just about pay the CEO's wages, then theres his company car, secretary, 10 million pound offices all the other paid staff, phone bill the cost of the adverts etc etc etc.  Millions and millions of our... well your money is just going on the overheads, bugger all actually reaches the starving thirsty people... Oh a bit dribbels through but you'd be supprised just what percentage many of these charities take out first.  And thats why I won't help most of them.  There are two I will donate to and only two.
