So?

People what the attention, why does it matter? so long as the charity is getting something.

People do plenty of stupid stuff each day and no one benefits, just look at F1's posts

At least after the board gets paid - as Pross mentioned a couple of days ago!

and as I asked, do you expect people to work for free?

A CEO is a CEO be that of a Charity or a private firm and they will do just as much work.

Ah, but if you don't do it, or refuse to do it if nominated, then you're seen as being bad, and not wanting to help someone with MND / ALS, blah, blah, blah.

That's my real bugbear about the whole thing, that people are trying to shame you into doing something.

Then you have the wrong people on FB I've got a few friends who have replied to nominations saying they donate to other charities and no one has argued.

I think we can separate the middle and lower class here

I got nominated, was I happy about it? Not really. Did I do it? Yes - but for the 20 or so people that saw my facebook video they know I didn't do it for ALS, I did it for the 3 charities I usually donate to, so the video mentions them instead.

Did I give to ALS ? No.
