There’s a new Suntrust commercial that advertises their new promotion. When you open a checking account they will donate $100 to a charity or cause of your choice. In the commercial on the radio, the woman brags about donating the money to her church, and how that hundred dollars bought a choir member a new robe with gold trim.

This is ridiculous to me. With all the charities that take things overseas and $5 buys vaccinations for 10 kids or something, or it buys 15 kids school supplies, I could care less what robes the choir wears when i think about that.

A hundred dollars can go a long way if you want it to. Splurging on a frivolous robe is brainless to me.
