1. I think it's a silly idea. The horror of war shouldn't be turned into a TMZ moment.

I feel for this dad and his daughter, but I just don’t get his request.

Maybe a big concert/fundraiser that would send humanitarian aid, but the personal phone calls just seems kind of a weird request.

2. Your lack of interest is noted.

5. I agree. I can't imagine that a celebrity calling me while I'm in a war zone would do a thing

for me. I’m not a celebrity worshipper type person though, who knows.

9. You inspired me to look up the USO.

Yep, they're still active. Entertaining soldiers in war zones to keep up morale.

10. Bit different there, but sure.

Ok.

Let us know how this drive for celebrity phone calls to civilians in a war zone works out.

3. I like the "you are not alone" idea.

4. Celebrities are already using social media to let people know they stand with Ukraine. For instance

there were tweets from Paul McCartney yesterday, and I posted those here.

And I saw a tweet from the Who this morning, Daltrey and Townshend.

6. I'm glad for that. Personal attention starts word-of-mouth conversation though.

Oddly, people can often be reached by phone. Part of the conversation I heard was how much people are relying on a sense of being part of something meaningful, and that being given that boost helps them fight the sense of helplessness and meaninglessness.

7. Strange idea, but there's an app for that.

You reach out to participating celebs and they post a personalized video for whomever you like. At a cost, of course.

8. Wow. That's quite a trip. Some are contributing to Ukraine charities. BUT...

Under the "Politics" section every single one of them is an acolyte of tfg. I mean, Junior and Giuliani?

11. Do we really need Gal Gadot singing Imagine?

Haven't Ukrainians suffered enough?

12. You know what...I'm just going to delete this. It's depressing.

No one has to go along but the snide remarks just make me sad.
