Reply to comment by ASecularBuddhist in The Band Aid song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” is offensive, and that was before I saw the cover art 🤨 by ASecularBuddhist
It was a goddamned fundraising effort, yah Scrooge.

They pulled it off. A very noble pursuit.
The cover art is horrendous.
I take that back. Bob Geldof was warned not to give money to a brutal dictator, and he did it anyway. A completely amazing story that I’ve never heard of before:

But they pulled it off to atrocious effect. And Geldoff walked away from it all, caring more about the global adulation.
The very definition of virtue signaling.
