I hate commercials, so I simply don’t watch them. First of all, I love movies, so there are no commercials at all. Secondly, the series that I watch, I record, so I never watch them live. I can therefore fast forward through the commercials. The only sport I watch for hours on end is football. On Saturdays, I just flip back and forth between several available games and, on Sundays, I flip to the Red Zone when the Bears are on commercial break. ---

Do you know where the money goes when you donate to Kars 4 Kids? Or, to be more precise, [which particular kids](https://www.charitywatch.org/charitywatch-articles/costly-and-continuous-kars4kids-ads-disguise-charity-39-s-real-purpose/179) are funded [and for what purpose?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kars4Kids) Not only is the charity for the benefit of Orthodox Jewish children only, but apparently, despite the fact that the ads run all over the country, only Orthodox Jewish children from the Northeast region benefit: (from the first link) > [@](#): > > Donors should also be aware that even though the Kars4Kids ads are broadcast across the country, the vast majority of the children that benefit from the cars donated to Kars4Kids live in the Northeast, particularly in New York and New Jersey. According to a 2017 compliance review conducted by the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Minnesota (OAG), over 99.9% of the $90 million raised by Kars4Kids from 2012-2014 was spent on charitable programs under the direction or control of Kars4Kids’ “sister charity,” Oorah. Oorah’s two largest programs are its summer camps and tuition assistance programs for Jewish children, according to the OAG, with the camps being operated at two New York locations. At the very least, they should add a line about where the money goes after that annoying jingle. ---

I can’t believe they raised $90 million in 3 years. It costs that much to run two camps? ---
