Fundraising Frenzy as Quarter Ends. The Catherine Tate Approach to Raising Money.

It’s be a day of emails from spouses, parents, children and friends asking marks to hand over some dough to a favorite candidate. You know the approach. “My husband John will celebrate his birthday in 6 months, won’t you send $187 to his historic campaign? There’s never been a more important election in our lifetime.” Oy. That’s the sort of thing that will get the web regulated.

For contrast on all that earnestness, have a look at the magnificent Catherine Tate’s comic creation and serial fundraiser, Geordie Georgie. Please note that our Catherine, who you may recognize from Dr. Who, takes advantage of looser British television standards on the use of certain worlds.
