Show Winning

Is anyone else offended by celebrities on games shows winning for charity?

Every time I watch my favorite game show and they have a “Celebrity for Charity” episode, I turn it off because it really offends me. The whole concept that a people who have lots of money have to go on a game show to win a dismal amount of money for a charity just blows me away. And then everybody pats them on the back. And of course their probably getting paid for their time to boot. I’m not saying that celebrities don’t donate enough money, because many of them do, but to do it on a game show with money that’s not theirs in the first place is just wrong.

No, I think it's a good thing. Sure they might get paid for it, sure they could donate the money themselves, but it also draws the attention of everyone else to make donations too. More people are likely to donate to X charity because X celebrity, who they like, did it. It also brings more awareness to some of the smaller charities that don't get much spotlight or notice.
