I feel like the whole "this charity spends more money on advertising than what it should be supporting" thing needs to be taken with a big lump of salt.

Scenario A:
Spend $1 million/year on advertising
Raise $5 million/year, allowing $4 million to go to "the cause"

Scenario B:
Spend $20 million/year on advertising
Raise $25 million/year, allowing $5 million to go to "the cause"

Obviously made up numbers, but the point is that Scenario B is both easier to criticize and objectively more effective.

Just sayin'.
