I, too, am not down with the whole culture of celebrities as self-important purveyors of humanitarianism. On the other hand, I don't often hear Bono glorifying killing or other antisocial acts in his music.
I'm glad that people who have got something to share do so. Plus, I'm automatically cynical of anyone who is obviously out shilling crap because people are stupid enough to buy into it, for whatever perceived reason.
