So, this morning I noticed a poster for a fund-raising event some local restaurants are doing to help the Tsunami victims. They are calling it "Wave of Compassion

"Wave of Compassion" isn't so bad...

Remember the 9/11 charity fundraiser "Jets of Compassion destroy Buildings of Need"?

yikes! Sometimes it just isn't a good idea to be "cute" when titling things.

There was a local benefit for the Alzheimer's Association last year and they called it: A Night to Remember.

(I mean seriously, do they sit there thinking up titles and say: "ooh, what a clever play on words that involves the actual illness!")

Why do you have to be so sensitive? they're lucky they're getting any of our money! I think they should call is "Killer Tsunami od Cash Night".

[darrent]

gee thanks...now I am crying...

I guess I am hyper-sensitive lately.

I. Just. Feel. So. Much. Inside! *gasp* Sob!

Of course "Wave of Compassion" is better than their original idea for a title, "Aids Needed for Third World Countries"...

Oh, that doesn't even deserve a reply...

(but wait, I just replied...?)

shit.

I'm naughty.

Tasteless!

I'm going to have to agree with you. They wouldn't call a fundraiser for molestation victims, "Touches of Kindness." I don't even know if they have fundraisers for molestation victims, but you catch my whiff.

oh good point!

You totally reminded me of another one. One of my duties at work is to get together our donations for all these charities:

In October, we contributed to an event for Childhaven. It was called the "Tackle Child Abuse Auction." I am not making this up!!!

I mean, COME ON!
