Your opinions on Comic Relief

I am a member of my head student team at my sixth form college. A member and I had to collect money from students across college during lunchtime, EVERYONE we came across was willing to donate money into the pot.

However, there were a group of guys that we came across who refused to donate. We had an interesting & insightful debate as to why people shouldn't donate to the cause, which has slightly negatively changed my views of the annual charity event altogether. The main points that were addressed were that it's Payday for celebrities and that the money is specifically invested for controversial firms which sell Tobacco and Alcohol.

I am curious to hear what everyone thinks of Comic Relief or other charities like Children In Need, Save the Children etc.
