Sir Bob Geldof and the Haitian Refugees

2010 has been a tough year for most people but none more that the poor downtrodden Hollywood Celebrity.

A few of the more notable "celebrities" to move into the proverbial poorhouse are as follows:

Nicolas Cage - $6 Million in unpaid taxes, recently filed for bankruptcy

Pamela Anderson - her and her breasts have over $500,000 in unpaid taxes

MC Hammer - over $13 Million in debts and filed for bankruptcy

Mike Tyson - $13.4 Million in unpaid taxes

Willie Nelson - $16.7 Million in unpaid taxes

The list goes on and on....

So what can we do about the food stamp reliant celebrity?

Sir Bob Geldof, the man behind Band Aid, Live Aid and Live 8 is back with yet another money raising show. This one is called Oscar Aid



I think this time Sir Bob has pulled off a masterful public relations stunt.

The show will happen Jan 1 - the pinnacle of the holiday/ festive season. A time when people are still pretending to care about their fellow man and are apt to dig deep for the chance to help some of Hollywood's most famous people.

The true piece of Sir Bob's genius is the fact that the featured choir at the festival will be made up solely of Cholera infected Haitian refugees.



That's right the children whose parents where mashed and mangled in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake are back to sing for celebrities and deep pocketed donors.

I've had a chance to see a promotional video that Sir Bob sent out and I can tell you that when you see the Haitian refugee children standing under the lights, their distended bellies moving and swaying to the beat, you too will feel compelled to grab your VISA card and call the operators who are standing by.

It would seem that the recent cholera outbreak in Haiti had more side effects than just watery diarrhea and vomiting. That group of cholera ridden refugees standing on the stage sing like angels.

Sir Bob is even talking about taking the refugees on the road. Crossing the country to raise money for celebrities who are forced to wear "off the rack" clothes. The concert will surely leave a trail of happy concert goers and fresh cholera infestations in it's wake.
