Red nose day

What is red nose day? Never heard of that

 

They support abortion? err...can someone explain this to me?

 

Red Nose DAY or Comic Relief is like a national charity event held in the UK. Its this Friday. This year they are encouraging everyone to do something funny for money. All the money raised goes to Africa and the UK for people who really need it. They have a whole evening of televised funny stuff on the BBC which goes on till early hours.

 

Yeah, i dont get that either.........

 

My school is celebrating it next Friday instead because the 13th of March is the date of a very high profile school shooting that happened in my town about 12 or 13 years ago. (and now you all know where I live ). It should be fun though, I don't know what I'm going to do yet...

 

Interesting, I was thinking it was like a Rudolf the Reindeer celebration

 

ahaha me too!!!
:lol:

 

how the :***: hell does that relate to abortion!!?

 

wots red nose day ?

 

It's a big charity TV event, annually running. It does general anti-poverty stuff. However, they've been known to support freedom to have abortions (like, when women have been raped, or whatever reason why they want the abortion) in these third world nations, and Ty's school dislikes that.

 

i always thought red nose day was on behalf of SIDS (sudden infent death sydnrome)

and i would assume that the abortion thing would be - if there is more money raised, parents could find out that there children have this before birth, and get an abort..

i never knew it was a tv thing....

 

I don't think SIDS can be predicted, coz it's sudden but I'm not too sure...

I also thought that's what red nose day was about. Maybe it's an Australian thing.

 

after reading this thread i had a look around about red nose day and found out a bunch of english celebrities went up a mountain 4 the event and i saw a picture i gotta say 2 all english ppl ur well lucky 2 hav that cheryl cole she's georgous, man i really hope she come to america

 

Yes they showed that on telly yesterday, was amazing and cheryl is sooooo cool! She might come america, shes in a girl group called Girls Aloud. But my money goes to ben shepard, so hot!

 

She might do, she works on X Factor which is Simon Cowell's music talent show over here. Like American Idol tbh, although they're both based on a show called Pop Idol over here from a while back. She's apparently very good, so maybe Simon might decide to bring her along next time. The weird thing is, she got into her girl band through a TV talent show herself.

 

Me three! XD

 

Anyone want to explain why it's called "Red Nose" Day?

 

It's called Red Nose Day because every year Comic Relief (the charity behind this) sells "red noses" across the country. The red noses look like this:


Some people raise money for the charity (usually whilst wearing red noses)
This year, some celebrities climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Comic Relief.

My school, as usual, is being STUBBORN and not allowing us to wear red noses, so today we all painted our noses red

 

We dressed up as chavs in my workplace for RND. And we organised games and quizzes too. Was all good fun.
