So you've all seen those "Feed the World" and "Sponsor a Child" commercials right? You get to see very dark skinned children who look like they haven't eaten in weeks. Their faces are dirty, some are crying. As the narrator says, they wander the streets, looking for food blah blah blah.
Well the first thing that bothers me, or makes me go WTF is their teeth! I brush my teeth two, three times a day and these kids teeth are whiter then mine. You'd think a child who has eaten nothing nutritious and even garbage all their life would have rotten teeth if they had any at all! Are these kids actors or am I way off on the condition of teeth in third world countries? Any dentists in the house?
Ok the other thing. When you donate or sponsor a child, you get a free gift. WTF? Shouldn't every available penny go to helping these people? Why are they giving out free gifts? Don't these free gifts cost anything to make? Seriously, instead of giving me a t-shirt telling anyone who can read that I donated to help the needy, send the damn shirt to these people! If you watch the commercials, you'll notice they could use clothes. WTF.
To recap, third world countries apparently don't need toothpaste or toothbrushes but DO need t-shirts!
Things I come across on a daily basis. From the news to my views.
