Immoral that we're taking money off impressionable young girls on the other side of the world who have mental health problems?

I'll leave that open goal for the masses...

As a family we spend a fortune in that shop and I am sad to say I have a pointing gnome and nobody questioned my mental state on purchase! perhaps there should be a health warning attached.
Just had a look at some of the comments on the crowdfunding website.This one is rather poignant.http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/user/littlemixareus/And this one had me in stitches.http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/user/lauu.dominico/

Exploiting their fans to make money?

Exploiting their fans to make money?Show business?And there's me thinking football was a sport.Anyway, I'm glad to see that this ill-thought out scheme is proving to be a resounding flop so far.Just goes to show that Louis isn't as popular as he (and JR) thought he was. Hope they've got a plan B (although I'm dreading finding what it is).
I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading some of those. Look on the bright side. Someone's just pledged £12K for a box. Good job we have 20 portacabins on order!!
We're also nearer to the second coming, death and Christmas. What's your point?
