It is a little difficult to believe what they said on American Idol tonight. Mostly it was fine - pictures of sick and hungry kids in Africa, with a clear message about the need to donate. They talked about how $1 would buy malaria tablets, and food.
Then they switched to talking about the poor areas of the USA. There are a surprising number of sick and poor people in the USA. That's not what was so disappointing - it was when they tried to push people to donate $25 for an "emotional rescue" package which includes a ghetto-blaster/radio!
Somewhere the priorities seem to have gotten a bit confused! What's more important - that some kid gets a radio or that other kids stay alive instead of dying from malaria? Something is wrong with this picture.
OR maybe it's just another case of "only in America".
