I had to laugh
at the cash in DVD of Live Aid that I saw advertised on TV not long after...

They called it "The biggest musical event of all time"...erm not anymore it's not!

Ah,
they mean it was the biggest event of all time at the time, see?

edit: the money from the DVD sales still goes to the charity though, doesn't it? Not really a cash-in.

I thought that Sir Bob
didn't want our feckin' money, and that we should all shove our donations up our arses? Afterall, it's money raised on the back of the poorest people on earth, and therefore dirty money, isn't it? Or is it only dirty money when e-bay offer it to him?

You would assume that it does
But there was absolutely no mention in the advert of how much goes to charity, normally they make a big deal of that sort of thing, so no mention of it sounds a bit strange - i would guess some of it does but not much
