You’ve Got to be Careful

…who you hire these days. People can get the wrong idea.

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF said in a statement that Belafonte – a UNICEF goodwill ambassador since 1987 – made the comments “as a private citizen and was not speaking as a UNICEF ambassador, nor acting in an official capacity on behalf of the organization.”
The Fund said it put out the statement in response to calls to its office.

    Belafonte is a “goodwill ambassador” for UNICEF? Yet another reason not to contribute.

    Considering how quickly they got their ‘we don’t have nuthin’ to do with this‘ press release out, I’d say they’re worried about that very thing.

    They should have thought of that when they carpet bombed the Smurfs.
