Daithi O Se and Maura Derrane are doing a Breast Cancer Survivor party on the Today Show today in association with the Marie Keating Foundation.Daithi has dyed his beard pink for the cause. But he’s willing to go even pinker if people donate generously to the Marie Keating Foundation.

Great cause.
Awful, awful human being.
Why is he an awful, awful human being??
If you have to ask then you’re clearly one of them.
Great cause. He comes across as a really nice guy, some people never have a good word to say about anyone.
Hmmmm. Lots and lots of pink stuff with different companies names attached to it these days. It’s getting dangerously close to ‘trendy’. Will many folks remember to check themselves while laughing at Daití’s ridiculous 5 o’clock shad..I mean, beard?
It’s awful when people raise money for deserving causes isn’t it?
Sure, yeah, that’s totally what I was saying.
Kinda, yeah.
Actually not at all but let’s keep up with these curt one liners.
No one called you a curt
Thought it, but didn’t say it out loud
Yes. A lot.
This quote is from the Sydney Morning Herald about non-affiliated companies using look-alike branding…
“Ms Robinson said this practice was “guerilla marketing” and that, while these companies demonstrated dubious marketing ethics, not much could be done.”
That seems to be a common theme across the related stories around the world, a charity movement becomes popular, lots of others cash-in with misleading packaging and the public becomes cynical but no laws are broken.
Pretty sure there was an American documentary about corporate American hijacking the colour pink and using it to make money off the association to breast cancer.
So should we boycott such products then?
If money ends up going to good causes, what’s the problem?
Surely the customer isn’t so naive to understand those companies are doing it for their own benefit too?
‘There’s just one little problem. Some companies are keeping all the money you spend on their products for themselves. The contribution of some companies to the cause begins and ends with slapping a pink ribbon on a label. There’s no law against it. They aren’t lying, exactly. They’re just relying on the consumer to make certain erroneous assumptions — namely, that no one would be scummy enough to exploit cancer for profit.‘
There is a bewildering array of politicians and companies who will stoop to anything.
Awww crap.
I’m sorry I even looked into this….

There’s so many references : (
I’ve always supported his Lego man beard
For every 30 second clip you watch on porn hub this month a cent will be donated to the cause.
The afternoon show is a bigger load of wank
