Charity porn and victim crafts
Porn DVDs for Africa inspire this compelling cri de couer on charitable marketing from Wronging Rights, via Blood and Milk.
Isn't there something peculiar about placing added value on products that somehow involve people who have been raped, tortured, infected with HIV, diarrhea'd to death, or otherwise atrocitied? Kate and I have been waiting for "sex toys made by sex slaves," which we assume would be the ultimate victim craft. If you're going to combine rampant consumerism with a prurient interest in other people's suffering, you should really go for it.
The key issue here isn't the porn DVD that inspired this post; it's the extent to which charity has become the new colonialism. We're not as different from the nineteenth century as we would like to think.
