Is it just me?

I don't get any of these charities (ASPCA, HSUS, WWP, etc.) who not only have commercials, but give you a gift for donating. It is one thing to have a raffle with prizes (time-honored fundraiser) but just give a gift outright?

A lot of these charities get a mark of C or less on Charity Navigator, BTW.

I'm a mute person. Of course, I mute everything but the show, but even more quickly. I also disagree strongly with the use of donations for these expensive promotions. Do your homework and check out their spending; then donate to your local shelter.
