I think he is a nice guy, he gives a shit about starving kids and tries to make us do it as well. I saw the comments on Lamebook from teenagers swearing about their parents not getting them the new iphone and I wanted to smack every single, spoiled face and make them look at what is happening in the World. Kids are dying in Africa right now and some idiot in America is whining on Facebook about not getting an iphone, Who would you rather give your one dollar to?
@Sukkii25 It doesn't matter if you buy the ipod or give your money away, neither of them will solve the situation. Its like companies promoting their goods by saying, buy this and we will give away $2 to hungry people. It is the very system that allows the exploitation and creation of poverty that needs to be changed, rather than allowing companies to make profit and then give a small amount away to buy themselves a ethical disguise. Fuck aid, remove debt, limit neo-liberal politics.
7 hours in, Geldof enquired how much had been raised; he was told £1.2 million. Disappointed by the amount, he marched tothe BBC commentary position. Pumped up further by a performance by Queen that he later called "absolutely amazing", Geldof gave an interview. David Hepworth, conducting the interview, began providing a list of addresses to which donations should be sent; Geldof interrupted him mid-flow: "Fuck the address, let's get the numbers!" After which, giving spiked to £18,000 / minute.
@ScottishNonBeliever I don't think thats fair, who are the people that borrow money that they can't afford to repay? Oh, thats right the working class families who don't have the most basic financial knowledge or go to the pub for booze and cigarettes.
@TheShepster80 I think he was targeting those with their hearts at least somewhere close to the right place and who just need a prod in order to give. Bankers don't give; they only sell money at a profit.
Why do people hate on Geldof so much? (Serious Question) I looked him up and didn't find anything about him except he organized huge events to raise money to raise money for Africa.
@JoseVillaDrums he stole Michael Hutchence daughter Tiger after Michael died and wouldn't let her family see her, Tiger's Grandmother begged and pleaded for years even up to 2006 or 07 I believe but Bob still refused, and he wouldn't let Tiger go to her real father's funeral. Then he changed her name to some crazy hippy name and changed her last name to hutchence-geldof totally pissing on the memory of Michael Hutchence of INXS.
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.ROFLMAO :-D Isn`t there a law against names like that?There MUST be..... If not,i want my sons name to be Supercool Habjab Kebab Bigschlong Adolf Rimjob Sauerkraut Mohammad Ali Mike Tyson.
@qoaa "HEY! Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily....How did your father die?Oh,he wanked himself to death." Highschool can`t have been easy for her.Or do they live in Hollywood,bcoz then it`s actually pretty mondane
@qoaa actually he didn't steal her. do you know your facts? obviously not. Even Hutchence's father agreed that it would be best that Tiger Lily stay with him plus it's what Tiger Lily wanted. Also Hutchence's Mother and Sister both hated Paula and blamed her for Michael's death. The last thing Tiger Lily needed was to be raised on 'your mother was good for nothing' and so on. At least Bob buys her fathers records so Tiger listen and he tries to keep their (her parents) memory alive for her.
YEAH GOT INTO THIS GIG TO ADVANCE HIS MUSICAL CAREER, DO YOU THINK HE GIVES HIS OWN MONEY TO CHARITY? {no he doesnt} WHAT A FAKE AND A TOSSER IVE GIVEN MORE MONEY TO CHARITY THAN HIM !!
@mrgenuine1111 Actually, this "tosser" put this WHOLE thing together and raised $180 million dollars. He & nobody involved made a dime from this! NONE of which would have been possible without him. He put together Band Aid and raised $6,000,000 (which ALL proceeds went to feeding ethiopia) but he felt it wasn't enough to feed the starving. Show some respect
@innerstatejt It is interesting that Geldolf's feel-good philanthropy is promoted at the expense of the shame-induced fundamental political and economic reform actually needed in order to achieve effective long term solutions to such contradictions as the co-existence of net world food surpluses and persistent regional famine. What we needed was a change to neo-liberal politics, rather than trying to 'spend' our way out of poverty. That is the problem with the west.
I can't get through...
