just so u know... disclaimer: i have nothing against owners of red iPod or red razr and i'm not sent by creative or nokia to tarnish the reputation of their competitors the following opinions are solely my own and are not meant to offend anyone recently a good friend of mine bought a (RED) iPod and u guys have probably seen the (RED) Motorola razr ads w local celebs  the RED Campaign was launched to benefit the Global Funds to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria but what are the real results to speak of? amount spent on marketing for past one year: $100 million amount it has contributed to the needy: $18 million at the end of the day, who pocket the moolah? Moto, Apple & Gap while i have much respect for Bono, this RED campaign smells like a big flub if it's simply a business model, then call it a business model dont label it charity to attain fuzzy hearts and empty wallets it's very misleading, seriously... barely 5% goes to help the needy and here we are, proud of our noble act while tweedling our latest gadget wonder what the local celebs have to say about the $18M pittance ya know, despite all her antics, angelina jolie is one great woman at least her genuine care for the poor goes beyond studio photoshoot sorry, guys... i know i seldom blog such strong words but this whole issue has truly made me so maaaddddd... i need a cold shower listenin -- dragon days by alicia keys

Post a Comment
I would like to draw your attention to the part of the 100 million in marketing... Did the charities spend a cent in this sum... i doubt so(notice the word doubt ; it means i not sure) and where did the 18mill come from ; they happen to be part of profits from the 100mill marketing drive... (ED: at this point in time, i feel very stoopid, coz they can give 18% profit to charity, not withstanding the profits alr made..grrrrrr) So all in all, i would like to tink of this as a way of giving back to society thru their profits.. i quite like this project.. hence i bought a red V3 for my mum(dead serious)..hahahahaha And apple moto converse actually gave actually products to the customers and nt compromising on their after care as well.. hence it is not fair to say them as uncharitable... |
