Who is going to give to Telethon?

[Donor]

Will it live up to fond memories of childhood telethons?? Although bear in mind there was a lot less on the telly or to do back in those days; telethons were a major event!

Well, I remember Telethons of yore, and this (so far) is not a PATCH on them.

Cripes, the bulk of the NZ celebs are muppets, and the big names are all bloody Aussie imports - I mean, Home and Away?? Spare me!

Video stores were doing as roaring trade tonight, kinda hard to get a good one

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

I saw one of the adverts and it said "don't watch it" so I'm not...

Child support count?My kids had there shoes and coats money for 10 years in a 2 week trip to the Gold Coast with their mum.

Watched a piece on sunrise last week in Rotovegas,real inocent girl when asked about the jacket or shoes replied "well mum has 10 kids so we don't have coats"didn't know whether to feel pity for her or anger at her drop kick mum for fucken breeding.And she said mum didn't work,well apart from on her back maybe not obviously.Sure there are some genuine cases,I know of a family of 4,the parents worked their butts off to rise from 2nd generation unemployed(the womans' dad had never worked,he got her mum pregnant at 16,the fathers parents much the same)mum was a nurse,dad was a teacher,he was killed in an accident,the mum had to resign to look after the kids(she told her kids that nana was to much of a pissed drugged idiot to care for the kids).

Oh dear god.

This bloody singing competition - some tart just slaughtered 'You'll never walk alone' followed by some fat wanker who made a complete arse of himself by thinking he could sing 'Living on a prayer' on national telly. (He can't, he killed my favourite Bon Jovi song. I hate him for this and wish a pox on him and his house.)

This telethon has FAILED.

(Unless Carly Flynn gets her tits out, that'd redeem it a bit)

I wonder if they could not use that song because TVNZ own the rights to it.

Then they should have struck a deal. Besides, it got played tonight when they cut to another centre and it was playing in the background.

Surely TVNZ and TV3 can put the bitch-slaps aside for the kids.

I had to leave the room. I'm not joking! Plus I hate "You'll never walk alone" with a vengeance. Managed to sit through that (just) but did actually flee to the other end of the house when "Daniel" mangled your fav Bon Jovi.

Commiseration cake is in order I think!

Not wishing to view such a thing so can i ask have they raised any money?

[PrincessBandit]

Um, last total I think was just over 600k. They're aiming for about 4 mill I think.

Just through - $704,120 and the first conga of the night.

Money is not always the answer if they don't use the money wisely..these kids need mentors and friendship which are more important than money, gifts etc..they need to feel loved and cared for...

Yea yea but hey money talks honestly at least eh.After what some of them have been through the last thing they need is some freak talking 'love" specially if its free.

Like kiwibiker styles?

Ho hum. Another worthless libertarian wank-fest.

Right wingers in New Zealand have really moved on - from outright denial that poverty exists here to blaming the poor for the failures of their system (promoting the myth of the Undeserving Poor)
