Unread post by jtalmodovar26 »

Yeah, they try to take a toll on your emotions to get you to donate. When I see those commercials I change the channel.
I mainly collect voice actor and Disney related autographs-Any questions with Disney successes/addresses? Feel free to PM me!

They used to come on all the time, to the point where I actually got tired of Sarah McLachlan, but they don't seem to air much anymore. In terms of annoying charity commercials though, I still think the Christian Children's Fund (or whatever they're called these days) is tops.

They are so depressing i cant watch them and i always turn the channel. I honestly think they would be far better off just having a person talk and explain how much they need your donation to help the animals because nobody wants to see these commercials. {down}

Just saw a similar ad here in Aus. To be honest, they have the wrong effect. I look away or flick channels instead of watching.
