Doing the most wha…?

My boy, Jason Dean (of marquee ministry message fame)pointed out something quite odd to me. He had seen one of those Salvation Army red kettles for raising money, and on the front of it, it said, “Doing The Most Good.” For our visual people, here’s how it looks on their website:

Further searching reveals this “oops it was a typo but not really” image of the same theme:

Can I just be the second to say… what? You’re doing alot of good. You’re doing more good than me. But the most good? Based on your world map, the SA has no activity in North Africa or in the Middle East… or at least not that has a publically available website. Are you doing the most good there?

Perhaps I should give them the benefit of the doubt, and they mean that they do the most good with the money given to them, using as much of it as possible for good causes. But it seems there’s a better way to word that, especially so it wouldn’t confuse people like me who think they are saying that they do more good than anyone else in the world, or are at least tied for most goodererer =).

Jason notes that the website says “Committed to Doing the Most Good with your contributions of money, time, and resources.”… which still implies that if you give them money, then they will definitely do more good than any other organization would.

Dont’t get me wrong. I’m sure there doing alotta good, a large amount of good, a substantial amount of good, a tremendous amount of good… but the most good? Please. I should make a logo for my site saying that this is the most humble blog.

As for funny linkage, this one is more amusing/wow factor than outright funny. Enjoy.
