Red Nose day

i dunno if everyones heard of this...its in the UK (just gone, was on friday) and a load of comedians get together and raise money from being funny!
plus we all get to wear a red nose all day! :love:
its all to a good cause. the money raised this years is going to the Sudan and areas effected by the tsunami.
what did you do?
i didn;t do anything and i feel quite bad about it. i'm going to do something wappy next year. i have to!
does anyone else do and fund raising? what for?
do you liek the idea of giving money to people you'll never meet? i think that more people should!
the third world countries need our help. we cannot sit by and watch the horrors continue
does amwerica have a simular thing to red nose day?

There used to be a Red Nose Day in my country (New Zealand), where everyone bought and wore red noses to raise money for research into Cot Death (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, some call it).
I think the last Red Nose Day we had was in the early to mid 1990s.

I remember red nose day. I never knew what it was for but I loved wearing that retarded nose that dug into my skin and seeing those whacked out noses on the front of cars. Then it just disappeared one day. :(

where can i download some of those things shown on it like little britain?

the noses get better every year! 2003 there was where ya could style the hair this year ya can dye it and make it look more retarded

I really can't stand the Comic Relief TV show. 7 or so hours of unfunny comedians trying to be funny interspersed with footage of dying people in Africa. No thank you. Still, I bought a red nose for the whole charity aspect, but I'd rather not watch the TV special.

it rules it has Little Britain Rowan atkinson the guy who plays Baldrick Peter Kay and alot of psycho comedians

Yay! Red Nose Day! We used to do a bake sale in England to raise money for cancer or lukemia, but no one celebrates it here in the states.

why not? is it because alot of the people are too rich to care? who are pure racists and believe in capitilist ways? who think they have the best in life over money? those are the people that disgust me

YES EXACTLY :rolleyes2

it's usually the people who havent much money who give money

And what are you basing that on?

It's not "pure racism" to not give money to charity, though. I hardly give any money to charity, and I'm certainly not a racist. I don't think "Oh, people who are from other ethnic backgrounds from mine might receive benefits from this, I think I won't bother!" and I doubt anyone else who doesn't give money to charity does that either. Besides, why are you chastising them for not donating? Their money is their own personal property with which they can do whatever they see fit. Perhaps that is selfish, but where do you draw the line? Should everyone with a car should sell it for charity? Perhaps we could all sell our computers for charity. Money is no different from personal property, and people should be allowed to do whatever they choose with it without being criticised.

people who give people who arent cocked up with money who cant even give away a damn quid. arent we supposed to be socialist?

Umm, they just don't have Red Nose Day in the US, just like we don't have twinkies (whatever they are!) in Britain. No need to get all uppity. :rolleyes2

Red Nose Day?!?! WOW! I want Red Nose Day...I'd look so cool with a big fluffy red nose!! But no, we don't have that in Malaysia. :(

i was lightly hyped up and had a headache bad mixture so my oppinions back there wre screwed

:rolleyes2 :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2
i only wanted to know if anyone did anything.
i always try and organise stuff like boot sales etc. i never ask people to part with thier money if they don't want to. thats what charity is.
some people feel that they need to give money, some don't. neither are bad people.

Red Nose Day ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :joker: :hat: :thumb:

i want to dload some of the things such as Peter Kay- the way to amerillo
Spider plant man and Little britain

We have Red Nose Day here in the states too. Except we call it St. Patricks day. And it takes on a slightly different meaning.

yeah you get wasted and wear green all day acording to one of my american friends
