The new charitable "cause"

Did anyone else notice tonight commercials for a new charitable cause for Africa?  Not food.  Not medicine.  Not clothing.  Not books.  Not arms.  But tampons and sanitary napkins!!  Two separate commercials I saw tonight about girls in Africa who miss a week of school a month and risk falling behind because they don't have "protection" so must stay home during their period.  The first was sponsored by Tampax and the second by Always...who will donate tampons and pads respectively to Africa if you buy their product!

Well, Gates is a computer geek.  He's probably not aware of "girly" things like that.
