The mindless in pursuit of the powerless - Opinion - theage.com.au

The mindless in pursuit of the powerless - Opinion - theage.com.au: "Celebrity does pay when it comes to do-gooding, and we have ourselves to blame.

IN THE 1980s an enterprising British company manufactured wristbands that said, 'If hospitalised, I do not wish to be visited by Princess Diana.' It remains a brilliant concept no less for the demise of its subject, but these days you'd also need the added prophylactic of an industrial-strength insecticide to deal with the celebrity types flocking to Good Causes as prescribed by their media managers."
