Over sensitive?





That AD actually says : Give monthly and Deliver THEM from evil
Is it because am In a sad place right now? Or is it that I have seen where the money comtributed goes or is it really idiotic to put up such an Ad?

What is this evil that "they" are being delivered from? And who are "they"

Oh am such a Cynic

yep, definitely open to misinterpretation. Though I doubt that's the intention.

Where DOES the money contributed go?

can't see it :-(

Yes that ad is misguided. In most badly managed charities 50% of the cash goes to Admin not 10% as is supposed to be the case.

I am guessing it must be about child abuse, child prostitution or something. That face looks south asian...not african.
As for where the money goes- to silly AD companies like this one

Are they in the business of salvation now(in the broadest sense)?

"And deliver them from evil" That somehow does not sound right.

What evil do they need deliverance from? demons? envy? adultery? greed? and if you give monthly it will really help? eish dunia.

mhhh... this is my bllody playing fields. Aco actually when I am dragged into NGo spots I tell them that 90% per cent of their grants goes to Admin- they just smile. it is so fucking true. But why would an NGO fulfill its mandate- all of them would be out of a job next year!

true dat. So money delivers them from evil? And all along I thought money was the ROOT of evil. Hmph.

i'm in advertising na kuna vile hii ad imeningachanyisha. lakini ile doh hawa wasee hupata. tsk tsk tsssk!

the real evil is that 90% to admin story. deliver us.

I find the line "Deliver them from evil" very offensive. Sounds like an appeal to white christians to help the "native pagans". Can't believe there would be an ad like this being used.
