An Open Letter to Bob Geldof

Dear Sir Geldof,

It has come to my attention that you are the sole being responsible for trying to end poverty on our little planet Earth. While this is certainly a commendable goal, I find your methods to be hypocritical and highly dubious. Here are a few questions that I'd like to have answered

1. Your slogan is 'MakePovertyHistory', how much did it cost to pay the advertising executives to come up with it?
2. Of your amassed £30 Million, how much did you contribute to aid World Hunger?
3. If African debt is relieved and aid increases, what do we do about the corrupt governments? The revolutions?
   
4. Why were there only two African-born performers in the main concerts? Should the poverty stricken nations of Africa not be allowed a chance to "help themselves"?
5. Don't you think that it would be better to give third world countries a hand up rather then a hand out?
6. Will all of the increased profits through record sales that the various artists receive by taking part in this "world changing" event be given to the poorest among us as well?
7. Where did the money for the $3000 worth of gift baskets that each performer received come from?

Why do you seek to demonize the G8 Leaders? Are they not the only ones who can do something about what you've been pushing for? If you can answer a few of these questions for me to ease my head-scratching woes, it would be duely appreciated.

Sincerly,

28 Sweet Movies
