- A bit misleading, since that's not the purpose of the foundation -- nm - ty97 Sep 24, 08:38 16
  - What is the purpose of the foundation? Curious to know. - Jim Sep 24, 08:40 15
    - "ONE's staff of 120 policy experts, media professionals, and campaigners working in 7 countries around the globe carry out ONE's work by: - mara Sep 24, 08:45 2
      - assuming a 50K/yr salary, 120 = 6 million dollars. And that's not counting benefits coverage costs. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 08:51 1
        
        right, and they're in at $5.1M, so it's not "lavish salaries". i agree people are being hard on them, esp. if they aren't asking for public donations. - TFox Sep 24, 08:53
    - Apparently, this foundation's purpose is advocacy and awareness - ty97 Sep 24, 08:44 6
      - white people love awareness, so I'm sure you're right. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 08:46 5
        
        i wonder, how does one track being "highly efficient in their raising of awareness", as they claim? -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 08:48 4
        
        Exactly. Sounds like bullshit to me. I think I'll send my money to someone actually helping the poor. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 08:50 2
        
        I have no idea how to measure the groups's effectiveness, but agree on preference of where to direct my money regardless. -- nm - ty97 Sep 24, 08:52
        
        They don't accept donations from individuals anyway, -- nm - mara Sep 24, 08:52
        
        conduct a random survey of americans, and ask "have you heard that there are poor people in the world?" - Beryllium Sep 24, 08:50

      - "Excuse me, Bono? Can I have some rice?" "No. But I will put up a billboard in London to ask people to send you rice. Deal?" -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 08:43 3
        
        a gross oversimplification, but yeah. - znufrii Sep 24, 08:47 1
        
        kid, your face is gross. -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 08:48

- And this is why more people don't donate money. If my choice is keeping my money or paying a huge salary for someone at a charity... - Jim Sep 24, 08:34 6
  - I might just start giving to the Gates Foundation. IIRFC they give almost all to their causes. -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:35 5
    - Does the Gates Foundation even accept donations from individuals? -- nm - mara Sep 24, 08:43 1
      - only if you are a billionaire -- nm - decline Sep 24, 08:47
    - Hee. Of course, most of the money that the One Foundation received was from the Gates Foundation. -- nm - Inigo Sep 24, 08:39
    - there's a website that provides details on this stuff (mara? help?) -- nm - decline Sep 24, 08:38 1
      - I usually use http://www.charitynavigator.org/ -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 08:41
- Bono gotta eat! -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:31
I just can't believe Nielsen Ratings anymore. Big Bang Theory 4.8, Community 2.1? 30 Rock 2.6, but Sh!t My Dad Says gets a 3.9? -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 24, 08:28 8
- Grey's Anatomy is still on? -- nm - amoxy Sep 24, 08:32 2

The Office: C- (spoiler question) - prayformojo Sep 24, 08:27 3

One in five sexually active gay & bisexual men has the AIDS virus & nearly half of those don't know they are infected, study of 21 U.S cities shows -- (link) - Beaker Sep 24, 08:24 19
- This is the actual Headline: HIV unknown to 44% of U.S. gay, bisexual men -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:25 16
  - [deleted] 13
    - The actual headline is "HIV unknown to 44% of infected gay, bisexual men," at least in my browser. I'm not sure why Beaker's doesn't display that way. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 08:35 3
      - they updated it within the last ten minutes, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 08:37
      - they must have updated it as alot of the comments were about the misleading headline too (and I c&ped it right from the article above) -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:37 1
        
        Right as I hit post, I thought, "... or could they have updated it within the last few minutes?" :-) -- nm - mara Sep 24, 08:38
    - they mean 44% of those who have it, don't know it. -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 08:32 8
      - [deleted] 7
        
        but the headline is atrocous as written. -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:34 6

        I would think lower, no? Why higher? -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 08:46 3

        [deleted]
        
        yes, it makes it sound like they've never heard of it. It should be HIV *status* unknown -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 08:37
  - ultra-misleading, that is. (but still, that's a crazy high number, 1 in 5. -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 08:26 1
