It ain't no Band Aid but it's better than I thought it would be... Helping Haiti (incorporating Bloggers for Haiti)
I'm sorry - that has to be the longest blog title in 2010 but it's necessary. Today was the media release of Helping Haiti - the charity single organised by Simon Cowell to raise money for the plight of the people in Haiti after the recent earthquake. I need say no more because, unless you've been living under a stone for the last four weeks, you'll have heard about it. If indeed you have been living under a stone then clicking this link will enlighten you further. I struggled to understand why the song "Everybody Hurts" (originally sung by R.E.M.) was chosen until I re-ead the lyrics and saw this line: Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. Pardon me for being cynical, but isn't this a bit... um... patronising? Anyway... the positives... 100% of the proceeds of this charity single are going to be split 50/50 between DEC (The Disasters Emergency Committee) and The Sun's Helping Haiti appeal - so it's all...
