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.
