Simon looked pretty uncomfortable in the video from Africa. Still, networks are not known for their "tithing" or for their generosity. Of course, they are going to do well! My actual point was that it wouldn't hurt if those of us who are professed Christ-followers were a little better know for your generosity, kindness and charitable acts. I see your point Anthony.

What they gave back isn't even a third of their ad revenue from one show. Meanwhile, they are in their sixth season of stealing money from viewers, phone voters, advertisers and the general public. And, what a shocker ... no one was eliminated, which means that all the votes were for naught, since they get to milk this nonsense for another week of prime-time advertising revenue.
