Something I heard on the radio just then, is that organizations that help children or cute dogs are more "fashionable" and get more money then charities for lets say, homeless adults or something less "fashionable"

My take on fashionable is photo quality/shoots, people are much more likely to look at a picture of a homeless child and go ^_^ and donate money, not like this is bad but now I'm thinking WTF! WHY?!?!?!

Fortunately AND unfortunately when it comes to helping, people are swayed by emotion rather than logic. AIDS treatment in third world countries is a politically friendly way to use money, even though it only extends the life of patients by less than 3 years and AIDS prevention would save many more lives at much less cost, and people are still dying of easily treatable things like malaria, diarrhea, etc. But it's easier to promote fixing a disease that's familiar in first world countries than preventing it, and no one in the US or Europe has ever heard of a baby dying from diarrhea.

When it comes to public support, I don't really mind that popularity wins because it's better than nothing at all. It's an issue when the people in power spending trillions of dollars make poor decisions because of that popularity.
