Somehow it feels too much like profiting from the suffering of others. True, they could be making a point, and Drillich's statement is not without merit. But these are the same people who brought us Big Brother, which is probably one of the most appalling programmes on TV. It doesn't exactly fill me with confidence about their motives.
