Odd

This week the following email arrived in my inbox at work.


"Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

Hello everyone,

I'm organising a donut drive to raise funds for JDRF and have attached a colour brochure. I will put brochures and posters in the lifts within the building with my contact details for placing orders. Also will have brochures and ordering sheets placed around the building....
... The donuts are as nice if not better than Krispy Kremes, I'm certain everyone will enjoy them.

It's not until you start speaking to people that we find out, at least one person within our families, friends etc have to face day to day life with Diabetes.

A big thankyou to everyone for supporting this worthwhile charity and I look forward to bringing lots of donuts into the building.

Kind regards,

I don't know about you but I found this money raising promotion somewhat odd. My understanding of Diabetes is that you are more at risk if you stuff your face with fatty sugary foods such as donuts !!!!


In the same line of thought, we could:

Sell cigarettes to raise money for lung cancer ?
Sell alcohol to raise awareness about the dangers of drink driving ?
Sell guns in order to raise money so that more peaceful protest can take place ?
