10 times today I've seen this "Operation smile" thing, about the africans with the cleff lips.
All I can think of is that the 'charity' starters probally thought "Ok, the head of a charity gets a shitload of money, hundres of thousands. The person in charge of Oxfam, Green Peace, WaterAid... well, they're not poor. Green Peace goes on private flights for fuck's sake, how can I get in on that? Africans? Ok, done, Kids? Ok, done. Sick people? Ok, done. How about we show some africans with a phsyical deformaty, yeah', kids ones too, let's sort out this extremely niche market... no one is gonna think bad of us, it's for charity, they're heartless if they do, and i'll still get a fortune.".
