At Look To The Stars, you can search for particular celebrities or causes and see who's involved. The resulting information sometimes isn't very robust, but the statistics are interesting, and as you click through, official sites for your own favorite charities and causes are clearly linked and accessible, offering opportunities for learning, donating or volunteering. Neat.
91 easily recognizable faces for Voter Education. Maybe I can make the list one day!
I'm always a bit dismayed with the publicity that follows any stars comments or position. It is as if their opinions are somehow more thoughtful ot cogent than anyone else's...when I suspect just the opposite is true.
ReplyDeleteBut -- the sire is interesting none the less.
I tend to agree with you on this point, Jerry. As I introduced the web site I hesitated to mention (but I will mention now) that jumping on a bandwagon led by any given celebrity just because you're a fan is well, cringeworthy. I also don't care for the fact that every celebrity's page you visit on this site is adorned with a link to a service that you can pay for the privilege of 'directly contacting' said celebrity.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I did find it interesting and pleasing to click into the various causes and get a few surprises as to public figures who are involved in things near and dear to my heart, and also the ease of navigation to the official site(s) of each cause and charity should one choose to learn more or donate. Nifty.
