		 I have long held that people should be charitable for charity's sake, not for the sake of telling everyone, "Hey, look how charitable I am!"  It really cheapens the supposedly altruistic gesture of charity. 
 
Regarding these ads, I thought "Are you putting us on?" referred to condoms.  How that related to Kenneth Cole, I didn't know.  I thought maybe they were marketing some chic new brand of rubber. 
 
Overall, I guess an act of charity is good.  And raising awareness is good.  So while I don't like the idea of them touting their charitable work, overall it's worth it if it keeps them giving and educating.
