"Corporate Charity" or Pandering?

I see long lists on TV of the companies who are rushing to help those affected by the tsunami. I hear huge numbers and a note of excitement in the newsreader's voices.

Should they get big good PR for this dip into the obscene profit margins?

Should I throw my hands up and say "Who CARES! As long as they help"?

How are you feeling about this?

2. There's a long history of this type of thing...

Even Live Aid was a very "Look at ME!!!" type of event. BUT, if the money gets sent to where it's needed, I don't really care...
