That's an interesting opinion article, Matt. Thanks for posting. I do feel like charity singles are done so often nowadays that they don't have the same impact as, say, when "We Are The World" was recorded...or the original Band-Aid song. I agree that someone who doesn't want to take part in recording the song shouldn't be insulted, shamed, or humiliated the way it sounds like Bob Geldof went off on Adele. But I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to do whatever you can to help in a crisis...even if it is only gathering a group of self-involved, self-indulgent, publicity-seeking celebrities in a recording studio for a photo op and a recording session. There's nothing wrong with bringing a higher awareness to a cause. I think, by nature, human beings do care and we're charitable to someone truly in need. But in these times, where more people care about what Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift are up to than what's happening with a horrible disease half a world away, many people may not even know what Ebola is, let alone where Sierra Leone and Liberia are. I can guarantee you somewhere in the world, some 16-year old girl is saying this exactly: "Ebola? Isn't that the name of the woman Kim hired to look after North while she's filming scenes for Keeping Up With The Kardashians?" The person who wrote this opinion piece acts like she knows exactly why Adele didn't want to be a part of Band-Aid 30. Maybe if she didn't just have a baby and a new husband, she would've been right there, front and center, getting her publicity shot right along with Bono, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, and everyone else. Nothing irritates me more than when someone has an opinion and they project that opinion onto other people. "Adele chose to donate money instead of time and she didn't take part in recording the single. She must feel exactly like I do about this 'train-wreck charity single'." *sigh* *eye roll* The most important thing I got out of the whole article is that the members of One Direction don't get along. They have to fly in separate private jets?! That's HORRIBLE! OMG! *sigh* *another eye roll* Break the f**k up, then! All of the 12-year old girls that like them will be broken-hearted for, like, two seconds...until some other boy band comes along and they'll be over One Direction as fast as they got over The Wanted. Seriously. If you dislike the people you work with that much, move on. All that you're doing by staying together is making Simon Cowell money. To me, that would be incentive enough to pull the plug.

Well, honestly Matt, I think it depends on how deep the cut on her finger was. If it was a shallow cut that didn't do any serious nerve damage and didn't result in significant blood loss, then she should not have ignored Band-Aid, because Band-Aid thrives in those circumstances. If the cut was very deep however and more serious medical attention or stitches were required, then she had every right to ignore Band-Aid.
