Get Incensed

Isaac Hanson filming white girls for charity…

When they’re not appearing on some stupid reality show or getting picked up for DUI, you can often find celebrities doing charity work to get publicity for whatever CD or film they happen to be working on.

So, it’s really no surprise that members of the musical group Hanson are combining charity appearances with stops on their latest tour.

The real surprise here is that I actually referred to the members of the band Hanson as “celebrities” and a “musical group.” Sorry. I’ll try to be more careful.

In conjunction with their new album The Walk (and, yes, I do hate myself for even knowing the title of a Hanson CD), the Hanson brothers have taken to walking barefoot for one mile in whatever town that evening’s concert is taking place.

The walk is a promotional effort to raise awareness of AIDS in Africa.

I’m pretty sure most people are aware that there’s a problem with AIDS in Africa. It might be a better idea to have Africans walk to raise awareness of Hanson.

While we’re at it, I’d like to congratulate whoever is in charge of celebrity fund raising over in Africa. Nowadays, you have a better chance at seeing a celebrity in Ethiopia than at the Kobe Club in Manhattan.

Still, I’d like to support the Hanson brothers in their charitable efforts.

So, in order to help raise awareness of Hanson, I’m declaring the remainder of this week to be Hanson Week. I’m urging everyone who reads this blog (that includes you, Mom) to “walk the walk and talk the talk” by peppering your daily conversations with Hanson references for the rest of the week.

For instance, when you’re getting ready to take a break at work you may want to remark: “Hey, Bob. I’m gonna mmm…bop on out of the office for lunch. Can I get you anything?”

Or you may want to make others around you feel good — like a peppy Hanson song — by complimenting someone with: “Did you lose weight? You’re looking very Hanson today.”

Please, do what you can. If we work together we can assure that your children and your children’s children will be able to enjoy Hanson for many years to come.

Well, maybe not enjoy them … but at least be aware of them.
