Chuck Norris is pretty shameless about abusing his WorldNetDaily column for self-promotion; we’ve caught him three times turning his column into an ad for the gold-selling company he’s a spokesman for. Norris did something similar in his Nov. 29 column, which started as a lament over someone sent to prison for stealing from the children’s charity he ran, which morphed into a promotion of the children’s charity he runs:
Americans spent roughly $10 billion on Black Friday. They will spend even more on Cyber Monday. I’m so glad that someone started “Giving Tuesday,” an annual observance this week and global movement that reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity.
A while ago my wife, Gena, and I did a WND interview for our KICKSTART KIDS Foundation (KSK at KickStartKids.org), which teaches character through karate in Texas Middle Schools. I think you will find what we share interesting and maybe even worthy of your “Giving Tuesday” or holiday donations.
The WND interview of unknown origin started with an especially mushy softball: “Everyone knows you (Chuck) from your martial arts, film and television careers. But you and your wife Gena’s hearts and mission really centers around your foundation, Kickstart Kids, doesn’t it?”
Norris’ direct plea for money came at the end:
We would be honored to have some new partners join us this “Giving Tuesday” or Christmas season by donating online to KICKSTART KIDS here. Tell them Chuck & Gena sent you!
Merry Christmas, America! And may God bless all of our efforts and donations to help humanity and our future generations on this Giving Tuesday and beyond!
Like we said: utterly shameless.
