What are peoples thoughts on Band Aid 20?

Where do you think the money goes?

Should Bob Geldof be king?

Is the song any good?

Is it the best way to help the people in the Sudan?

Aren't Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead dead sexy?

It's over to you, baying masses.

When will the west learn? Handouts and aid will not work if you spread it very thinly to loads of countries. Instead each rich nation should chose a poorer nation to support and devote all its resorces to that one nation. That way something may be achived. Being PC about it and saying "we help everyone" doesnt help when you have finite resorces. Face it, giving a tiny ammount of aid to every developing country will do nothing. Focus on one nation and things will be acomplished.

What are peoples thoughts on Band Aid 20? - poo, but a good cause

Where do you think the money goes? - to Africa, I imagine :confused:

Should Bob Geldof be king? - No. He's Irish

Is the song any good? - No, too much darkness-esque guitar work

Is it the best way to help the people in the Sudan? - No, just give oxfam money every so often

Aren't Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead dead sexy? - No, I'm a straight man. Plus, I odn't know what they look like

Any thoughts?

I don't know what you are talking about?

remember band and live aid? when bands got together in 1984 to release a god awful song for ethiopian famine relief? i know it was big in the US and UK, but im not sure about everywhere else, sorry.

the god awful song in question is 'do they know its christmas'

I think it sucked. I prefered the original version. Eventhough Paul and Bono were in it again.

Just keep having spontaneous sex and she'll soon stop despairing. Hopefully :D

Eeeh yeah. Let's devote all of our resources for the benefit of one 3rd world country....that will make you very popular with the voters.
As for me. I think things like development aid, charity etc.... are utterly useless. Over the past 40 years or so Africa alone slorped up over a trillion dollars. And what did it change? Nothing. It's a bottomless pit.
