TV adverts for Sponsorship are starting to irate me, there are one or two genuine causes which I feel deserve funding but may not get funds they desperately need because, if most people think the way I do - they would think about the vast amounts of money put into these adverts, it can't be cheap and they seem to be designed to target someone to extract funds from as many tom dick and harry's as possible. After all everyone has something they care about and whoever is behind all these similar adverts they seem to only care about tugging on as many heart strings as possible and getting $£€ from as many people as possible.
Is it that the only ones that are benefiting are the TV stations selling advertising slots?
How many people do you know that have sponsored a donkey? How many do you know that would sponsor a donkey?
Would all the funds from those genuine and nice folk that have sponsored a donkey, even cover the cost of the TV campaign, production, editing, voice overs and buying valuable TV advertising slots?
It makes me think its all more of a money racket than actually giving a hoot about the cause - what sort of percentage of donated funds even gets to the cause, 50%, 80% 95 or 99%. It looks like a percentage game to me.
Sponsor a donkey, a snow leopard, dog, a monkey, a child, a girl, a tree.
How did they make the donkey look so sad? I know, they tied him to a heavy cart, whipped him, starved him, soaked the poor animal with water then shot it in black a white to make it seem all the more depressing. They then make the poor thing look into the camera with a sad face and ask you for your money, not just a once off payment, but a monthly commitment. All to make it look like that there are donkey's up and down the country treated like this. Of course he's sad, look what you made him do for your advert.
I have earth worms in my garden that need sponsoring, they need to be relocated they don't look happy - they're in danger. You will get updates on how they are doing, please give just £9 a month. Please, before I use them as fishing bait. Someone somewhere might actually give me money for this.
I'm in no way against giving to charity, there are many many good causes out there that genuinely need funds. These adverts making me skeptical of the whole lot and I hate to say it.
I don;t like queuing at petrol stations either, any other sort of queue is fine, but petrol stations peeve me off. Probably because I'm in a hurry to get somewhere and petrol is way over priced and heavily taxed. I'm sure there is an idea in there for some sort of advert also.
