Foul Cowell?

This week, Britain’s most famous man, Simon Cowell, is being splashed all over the press as a truly caring person thanks to his support for a children’s hospice. Some people may applaud Mr. Cowell for his charitable works. Others might be tempted to think that if Mr. Cowell really had a charitable nature, he would have kept his generosity to himself and that this is just another cynical PR exercise by a man who will use anybody (even dying kids) or anything to promote himself and his contrived, tired-looking TV shows.
