I HATE SARAH MCLACHLAN! All thanks to this commercial.

Yes, this. And all the feed the children, save the animals type commercials. I would donate to them if they could guarantee I'd never have to see their commercial again. But they can't guarantee that, so I just change the channel. Because if that commercial is on once, it'll be on again in ten minutes.
Actually all commercials by charities, except perhaps in the event of a natural disaster, I hate. When I donate to a charity, I do my research. I never blindly reach for the wallet. I assume that if you're spending money looking for donations, you're wasting $5 to get $10. Yes, you the charity get more money for yourself, but its very inefficient for everyone else.
