story of toast and stuff

WARNING; FOLLOWING IMAGES MAY BE INAPPROPRIATE AND/OR HARMFUL FOR CHILDREN OR THE EMOTIONALLY IMPAIRED.


THIS IS RAW CRUELTY AS HAS NEVER BEEN CAPTURED BEFORE. WITH MY ART... EHRM... I MEAN RAW, UNEDITED FOOTAGE I WANT TO RAISE AWARNESS FOR ALL THE LOAVES OF BREAD THAT GET EATEN EVERY DAY. THIS CRUELTY MUST NOT GO ON.

DONATE TO ME AND I WILL PERSONALLY SEE TO THAT NO MORE TOAST LIVES ARE WASTED, I PUT AN END TO THIS UNJUST SUFFERING.




Oh yeah, this brings to mind the annual hungerdagen-collection that the Finnish Red Cross arranges. I dont particiapate in these kinds of things. I dont support all that quasi-philantropy and bullshit. First of all, if I really wanted to help the poor starving children of Africa, I wouldnt just donate money to some random for-profit organization who can only claim that my money will be well spent. If I really were interested in helping, id do volunteer work, go into politics, or something like that, that actually has a veritable chance of helping the less fortunate. 

You might say, well, atleast some of the money goes to the people in need. Yeah, thats true. The Red Cross is not evil. They do try to help out, they organize all kinds of stuff nation-wide and also internationally. Theyve helped tons of people. Its just hopelessly inefficient. For the same amount of total money that these charities have been given, who knows what we could have achieved? I dont, but I do know we could have  made a better god damn job than this. We shouldnt trust these organizations so much.

I might just be a bitter old bitch, but I dont even have any incentive helping these poor starving children whatsoever. Sure, the world would be a better place if there were no poverty, no starvation, no abuse, but theres only so-so much that we can do. They need to straighten their own shit out, it hasnt got to do with lack of money, it has to do with a lacking culture. So many of the villages that charities have brought back on their feet have now become dependent on charity. 

What we need to do is build schools, educate people, and what many dont seem to realize is that they dont need that money in order to help these poor people, they need the people. Teachers, doctors, volunteers. Not money. Thats why I called this whole thing so fake and fraudulent. People are willing to give a few euros to charity, but if charity asked them to dig a ditch to help a flooded village, even though these people are the charitable folk we know and love, I dont see this digging ever getting very popular. But its ok, if you were to donate a small amount of money, then you can surely say, I HELPED STARVING AFRICAN CHILDREN TODAY, AND ALL MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN. Wait, what? Yeah, im comparing donating to charity with buying indulgences. Its fucking pathetic.

Im not driving a nail through anyones face here, im just saying, if you donated to these things, I would personally say that those 2 euros would have been better spent buying a coffee for yourself. If you want to help, great, go to africa, and help those people. Its not outside your means, if you wanted to, im sure you could. 




Well, going back to my previous entry, I promised id show you a picture of myself, dressed up as a clown. As I explained before, its for a film project that were doing in school.

Ill just say right now, I look pretty fucking creepy in this photo.


Getting that shit off was hell, im telling you. It clung like a bitch. Still, it was an experience I recommend to anyone who has never been a clown before, I had alot of fun.
