To hate Children in Need?

[Runny]

I probably am because it raises money for such good causes, but I find the whole television spectical really toe curlingly awful to watch.Every year it's the same old, the BBC newsreaders doing an 'hilarious' song and dance skit, the cast of Eastenders having a sing song and an endless stream of insincere celebrities who are only taking part to make themselves look good.

I really want to like it, but just can't. On the other hand I love Comic Relief and look foreward to that. CiN just leaves me cold.

Yes, Children in Need is a piece of shit. So is Comic Relief for that matter. Getting told to give our money to a cause by people who are so much more able to afford to says it all really. It would be like the Queen using her Christmas speech to complain that people shouldn't be driving cars over two years old.

I suspect the millions of desperate people who have benefited from CIN and CR don't think it's "a piece of shit". Frankly, saying that you won't give because richer people than you are asking you to give is a cop-out.
