Today we would like to tell you about a charity event, like a telethon, one of the largest in the UK; Red Nose Day.

The event takes place every two years, and was created by the charity Comic Relief in 1985 (exceptional year by the way!).

Like any charity event, its purpose is to make money and many celebrities 2015 – Emma Watson, Liam Gallagher, Kate Moss, Idris Elba, Rowan Atkinson, Orlando Bloom, Dawn French, Cheryl Cole, Robbie Williams, Daniel Craig, Roger Moore, John Legend etc!!! Brands including Sainsbury’s, Rimmel London, Maltesers raise awareness through avenues such as advertisements, tv series, and funny cult movies.

All people in the United Kingdom are invited to come together to support this noble cause by buying a red nose and looking funny (even if everyone doesn’t pass on the BBC, let’s be realistic). In short, the money raised is fully devoted to charity projects, to primary children (and we like children… niark niark niark… Ahem).

Now that you know and are all excited about Red Nose Day UK 2015, unfortunately you have missed it. It took place on March 13 – 14 #owned

Since you like it, otherwise there would have been no point in talking about it, you should also know that Red Nose Day US (subtle isn’t it?) will be held on May 21- 22.

And for this first edition in the territory of @POTUS #weshPotusBienOu, although the list of participants is not yet fully known, we want to share one of the parodies with our friends, brilliantly executed by the great Anna Kendrick (What we drool? But no, come on leave us alone here!).

You’re welcome.

The selfie, for some, is everywhere and all the time. And, according to a study conducted in England, the most fervent selfie fans, can lose up to 5 hours per week (source: presse-citron.net). Imagine all the things that you can do with 5 hours per week:

1. Read a book of about 300 pages, or
2. 1 hour of sports a day (they let you relax on weekends), or
3. Take the train from Paris to Deauville, spend 45 minutes on the beach and return to Paris, or
4. Sleep an extra hour each day during the week (we have already said that relaxation is the basis of the weekend),
5. Watch 13 episodes of the Big Bang Theory (maybe even 14), and if you have a lot of delay, you will arrive at the beginning of season 8 in 12 weeks

We know this won’t stop you from taking selfies, so we found you another reason… taking selfies is dangerous (while reading Martine is not dangerous at all).

They let you go on a ride on the newspaper buzz, knowing the risk you take every time you take a selfie.
